ABOUT THE GAME
For each approaching pedestrian,
Choose your career path.
``Sidewalk Sidestep'' is a free 3D browser game created by Will Herring. Walk down the sidewalk in a big city and input whether you want to avoid to the left or right according to pedestrians approaching from the front.
WAIT FOR THE BAR
早押しせず、
Wait until the tank is full.
A left or right arrow and an input bar will appear on the screen. The official description and in-game tutorial guide you to press the corresponding arrow key once the bar is full and not to step out too quickly.

Input when the left and right bars are full
When a pedestrian approaches, an arrow and bar will appear to indicate the direction to avoid. The basic operation is to press the arrow keys in the same direction when the bar is full.
Direction and timing change for each pedestrian
Pedestrians with different shapes appear one after another on the sidewalk, and each time you judge whether to avoid them to the left or right. You will be informed in-game that inputting too early will not result in success.
Display results of distance and number of people passing through
The game over screen shows the distance you walked in meters and the number of pedestrians you passed. You can try the same rule again by pressing the Space key.
