PLEASE READ!!!!! THE BROWSER YOU USE MATTERS!!!!!

This game is supposed to open a pop-up window in the middle of the screen (it should open big at first, and then shrink once it fully loads). If it does, you should be all set and can skip this section. If it opens a new tab in the same window, or it opens the window in a corner or flickers between multiple places, it may be a problem with your browser. Lane Dancing is tested on Brave Browser on an M4 MacBook Air and Google Chrome on a Windows 11 laptop. Read below to troubleshoot.

Troubleshoot

Firstly, try exiting the browser's fullscreen, disabling pop-up blockers, etc.

The submitted build of Lane Dancing uses a fix to the window positioning issue that I thought was a Mac issue, but is actually a Brave Browser issue. So, if on a Mac, only Chromium browsers work, and if on Windows, Brave Browser does not work until you disable the Shield for html-classic.itch.zone (NOT itch.io). If your browser has a similar feature, you may need to disable it too.

If absolutely necessary, this is a version of Lane Dancing built after the game jam deadline that should work on all browsers but Brave for Mac. Brave should also work if you disable the Shield in the same way as described above. Nothing else about the game is changed. The password is "test".

OTHER NOTICES BEFORE PLAYING

Lane Dancing contains occasional flashing lights and a lot of rapid movement. Player discretion is advised.

This game is best experienced when the browser window is as big as possible.

Avoid playing with any keyboard or headphones with noticeable latency (sorry I didn't make offsets).

CONTROLS

All keys act as one input and trigger all lanes.

Note: Notes that appear simultaneously only need to be hit once.
