Upon the game's release, a video showing changeType's core mechanic was uploaded to Nitrome's YouTube account. It is not known why this video was uploaded, as it was uploaded on the same day as changetype was released.

Unused content
The level shown in the preview image is a beta level of the game, this evident from the amount of objects in it that were cut from the final game, although some of these may be beta versions of some objects in the game. The unused/beta objects are the blue orb and blue orb holder, the orange triangle, and the yellow platforms.
