Hayabusa announced the full version of the free music game CoLane will launch on Steam in 2026. The game features six keys with lane-switching spotlights that let players press any key in a colored group to hit notes. The full version will include over 40 songs, adding 30 from public recruitment to the test version's 10.
Hayabusa, an independent developer, opened the Steam store page for CoLane on June 13 and confirmed the full version will be free when it releases in 2026. The music game uses six keys, but lanes shift via colored spotlights that group multiple keys together. A note in a yellow spotlight, for example, can be hit with either K or L. This design encourages players to figure out efficient fingering patterns for dense charts. A practice mode with slowed playback is included. The test version, available on itch.io, Indie City, and Free Game Mugen, has 10 songs. The full version will add over 30 songs from a public call for submissions, bringing the total to more than 40. Hayabusa previously made action games like fpsControl and Penta; CoLane is his first music game.
