Lane Defender is a minimalist, haptic-first arcade game you can play with your eyes closed. Enemies approach in one of three lanes. Distinct haptic patterns tell you which lane. As they get closer, the cues speed up and end in a final steady rumble. Tap left, center, or right at the right moment to shoot. Miss, and you lose a life.
Designed for both blind and sighted players, Lane Defender keeps the visuals clean while making every cue felt. Voice announcements are optional and completely under your control.
Highlights
Haptic-first gameplay: distinct lane tactons, accelerating approach ticks, and a final one-second rumble before impact
Direct-touch control: tap the left, center, or right side of the screen to shoot that lane
Optional speech: choose Off, Critical only, or Full announcements for hits, lives, score, and game over
Works with or without VoiceOver: the game board accepts direct touch; rotor actions expose Start/Stop, Speak Status, and Training
Training and onboarding: practice each lane’s pattern and timing before playing
Adaptive difficulty: generous timing early on, then shorter windows and faster approaches as you score
New mechanics as you improve: occasional double threats after higher scores, rare triple threats later, and extra lives at milestones
Five-second pause after a hit: clear feedback and time to reset
High score tracking
