Prize Breakdown

Hype Remix +

Some people like to create something completely new when they Remix a Hype. This category is for Hypes that bend and twist their parent Hype into a completely different experience. Hypes remixed from the empty template are also eligible for a Remix + prize.

3 Winners - $200

Hype Remix

Any game in HypeHype can be remixed and every game is remixed from something. There are many ways to make a remix. Build a game based on a template, make a new level for a Hype you enjoyed, or just change some colors and assets to give a fun game a new feel. It doesn’t need to take big changes to make a big impact when you remix.
