Background
Snek Redux was my attempt at Ludum Dare 67 which had the theme of Remixing a classic game, in my case, Snake. All done in HaxeFlixel.

Features
Snek Redux has 3 levels - the forest, the caves, and the maze. Unlike regular snake, this game is an autoscroller of sorts, and plays more like a roguelike.
My goal with this game was to try and give the most professional polish I possibly could in a short amount of time (2 weeks, 1 week for the initial game, 1 week of extra polish and online hookup.) This meant finding out the most that could be done alone and with limited time, to that effort, this game has:
- A full soundtrack of upbeat royalty free EDM music
- Complete customization for the appearence of the game, toggles to turn on/off light effects, graphics, etc.
- A full suite of 30 achievements that are online compatible (using the Newgrounds API, that at the time, required me to write a custom Online handler for Haxe)
- Unlockables
- 3 unique bosses with different mechanics to defeat them
- Secrets and more!
There's quite a bit going on in this game! Unfortunately, the code isn't commented, as it was a smaller project for personal use (this is 3 years ago, when I was naive and didn't get into the habit of commenting everything unless a professor was watching, now ofc I do!)
