Any game in HypeHype can be remixed and every game is remixed from something. This category is for creators who build upon another creation to make something new. In addition to the general judging criteria, Remixes will be compared against their parent Hype to see what was changed and how it impacts the experience. Big changes aren’t always needed to make a big impact.
