We're excited to announce the launch of One Step Too Many, a unique turn-based strategy game that challenges everything you know about gaming rules.

The Concept

What if the rules of a game changed without you knowing? That's the core question we asked ourselves when designing One Step Too Many. The result is a game where losing isn't just part of the experience—it's essential to winning.

How It Works

You and an AI opponent take turns crossing a rope bridge. Each turn, you choose to step 1, 2, or 3 planks forward. The player who steps on the last plank loses. Simple enough, right? But here's where it gets interesting: after each round, the rules secretly mutate.

The Learning Loop

Round 1: Learn the base game. Round 2: Lose unexpectedly—what changed? Round 3: Test your theory—win! Round 4: New mutation—back to discovery. This creates a compelling loop where every loss teaches you something new.
