Build a better approach
Lane Switch is a three-lane track. You occupy one lane at a time. Crates slide toward you. A collision costs a life. There is no jump. The only action is a sidestep: arrows, A and D, or a tap on the left or right third of the track.
The crate beside you is already decided. The useful information is the next two. If both edges are occupied and the center is free, the center is the answer. Hugging a wall until the other two lanes fill is how people paint themselves in.
Turn information into decisions
Speed rises with score. Faster crates do not need faster tapping. They need earlier reads. Stay still in a clear lane. Motion is not a virtue. Each unnecessary step is a chance to step into a crate you had already cleared.
After a hit, the nearest crates clear so you can see again. Use that breath. Return toward center. Three lives are the sitting. A long run is a sequence of boring open lanes, not a dance.
Practice for consistent results
Score is crates passed. Coins and flourishes are not part of this game. The track is honest: if you can name the next safe lane, you can last. If you cannot, wait one beat rather than guessing.
Drill: survive twenty crates while using the center whenever it is free. Edge camping is the habit to break. Center is four options pretending to be one lane.
