The gameplay in "Spy Chameleon - RGB Agent" is characterized by its unique color-based mechanics and stealth elements, appealing to fans of puzzle and stealth genres. While the level design is clever and introduces new mechanics gradually, some players find the controls unintuitive and the gameplay repetitive, leading to a lack of long-term engagement. Overall, the game offers enjoyable moments but may not hold players' attention beyond a few hours due to its simplicity and limited diversity in challenges.
- “The stealth gameplay is mostly a joy; if you like Metal Gear, Tenchu, Styx, Dynamite Jack, etc., you'll be right at home here. The choice of normal or hard difficulty and the bonus objectives amplify the replay value.”
- “It is easy to pick up and play, but the levels make you think, and the experience is kept fresh by new enemies and mechanics that are introduced as you progress.”
- “Clever level design and a super cool main mechanic - like another reviewer, I can't believe somebody hasn't come up with the idea before :)”
- “The controls are unintuitive and the gameplay is not innovative in the slightest.”
- “Levels feel more like a chore than fun, perhaps due to the simplicity of the goals and repetitive gameplay.”
- “Had these gameplay mechanics been used in an adventure-style game, I think it would have been a huge success, but as it currently stands, the game really lacks something to hold the player's attention for more than 20 minutes.”

The story in "Spy Chameleon" is minimal and primarily serves as a backdrop for the game's quirky missions, which involve humorous spy-like tasks. While players appreciate the lighthearted nature of the missions, many feel that the lack of a cohesive narrative or character development is a missed opportunity. The game focuses more on gameplay mechanics and level progression than on delivering a complex or engaging story.
- “Here's hoping for another with more options in play & story (the last level really got me!!)”
- “The game gradually introduces new mechanics over each mission of 15 levels, so you aren't bombarded with new gimmicks but learn exactly how each new obstacle works and how it can be overcome.”
- “It's not very complex, though, and there's no story besides hints of your mission, which only come up as brief text on cards describing the next game area.”
- “I'm not necessarily asking for war and peace, or even any dialogue or text, but it feels like an opportunity was missed to tie all the whimsical characters together into some sort of cohesive story.”
- “No real story but quirky missions that did make me laugh.”

- “Don't let the cartoony graphics fool you - this isn't a child's game.”

- “The stealth gameplay is mostly a joy; if you like Metal Gear, Tenchu, Styx, Dynamite Jack, etc., you'll be right at home here. The choice of normal or hard difficulty and the bonus objectives amplify the replay value, although the developer ought to let us revisit any individual level we've beaten on normal in hard mode, instead of forcing a new slog from the beginning.”
- “Additionally, challenges for the levels as well as achievements add to level replayability.”
- “With nearly infinite replay value thanks to the fly/time/ladybug challenges plus a global leaderboard, this game has had me hooked since I picked it up 24 hours ago.”
