Project X: Love Potion Disaster — Overview
Project X: Love Potion Disaster is a fan-made 2D side-scrolling beat ’em up that uses characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog setting. Players progress by moving through stages and clearing out hostile forces to reach each level’s endpoint. The game focuses on action-oriented combat and a compact roster of selectable fighters.

Players move through horizontally scrolling stages, confronting waves of enemies and using melee attacks and special moves to advance. Each level culminates in a challenge that must be overcome before proceeding. The systems emphasize quick-paced encounters and positioning rather than exploration.
