One Step Late

One Step Late is a daily logic puzzle where you guide yourself to the sun and your shadow to the moon, but your shadow follows you one turn behind.

Every day brings three new grids at Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty. You move one cell at a time across a board dotted with holes, walls, and two goals. Your shadow mimics whatever move you made on the previous turn, stepping blindly into danger if you lead it there.

How it works:

• Move with arrow keys, WASD, or swipe. Each step moves you one cell.
• Your shadow repeats your previous move. An arrow on it shows where it will step next.
• That arrow turns red if the shadow is about to fall into a hole.
• Walls, board edges, and each other block both of you.
• If your shadow falls, both the current move and the one that sent it into danger still count against your total.
• Finish with yourself on the sun and your shadow on the moon at the same time.

Why we like it:

• ✅The shadow mechanic forces you to think two moves ahead, turning simple grids into elegant brain teasers.
• ✅Three puzzles a day means you can bail after Easy or push through to Hard depending on your mood.
• ✅The archive lets you catch up or binge without pressure, and sharing never spoils the solution.

Hint: Watch that red arrow. When your shadow is one step from disaster, you need to either stall with a wall bounce or commit to a longer detour. Planning the shadow's safe path backward from the moon often reveals the route faster than chasing the sun.
