Project SXU

About

Project SXU is a fan-made action platformer built to reimagine a long-abandoned Sonic the Hedgehog game. Players control Sonic and other characters in stages inspired by the canceled 1996 Sega Saturn title Sonic X-treme, mixing 2D side-scrolling action with occasional 3D environments. The gameplay leans into fast-paced platforming, enemy fights, and level design that nods to classic Sonic tropes while introducing new mechanics and zones. The project's standout is its dedication to reviving a piece of gaming history that never made it to release. While the community-built nature means the polish varies, fans of 90s Sonic games often praise its ambitious tribute and creative risk-taking. No major studios are involved, but the passion shows in every level.
