The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized for being misleading, as it presents itself as a full game while primarily functioning as an advertisement for a product. Reviewers express frustration over the practice of publishing demos and ads as separate titles, arguing that it detracts from genuine games and misleads consumers into spending money on what is essentially promotional content. Overall, the monetization strategy is deemed harmful and unworthy of gamers' time and investment.
- “The purpose of this advertisement is to get gamers to fork out an eye-watering $15 USD to buy the full game... something I don't recommend that you do.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”

The gameplay of Colorblend fx is a mixed bag; while it features some interesting puzzle mechanics and a chill platforming experience reminiscent of metroidvania titles, it suffers from mediocrity and a lack of originality. The demo hints at potential for more engaging puzzles, but currently feels derivative and underdeveloped, making it a less compelling choice for players seeking depth. Overall, it offers a relaxing experience but lacks standout elements to elevate it beyond a basic platformer.
- “The game is a very nice platformer with a Metroidvania-type backtracking, and some interesting solutions related to the game mechanics.”
- “Nice game if you want to chill; it has nice music, and overall chill gameplay. It's one of the few good platformers, so yeah, the game is just very nice and chill to play.”
- “But there were plenty of mechanics that were used, so that's nice :)”
- “Feels as though it was written by a twelve-year-old and there's nothing that makes the gameplay stand out.”
- “There are plenty of possible puzzle mechanics that can be used, but sadly were only used once or just hinted at during this demo.”
- “Nothing to break your gameplay though.”
