Hi everyone,
One of our goals with One Move Away has always been to make packing fun for every kind of player. Unfortunately, by constantly displaying all the in-game objectives, even the most extreme ones, we’ve created an environment that places far too much emphasis on completionism. And this is especially true for players who want a less puzzle-oriented experience.
We have addressed it with a rework on how difficulty is managed in-game, starting by improving the distinction and the balancing between the three difficulties offered. The goal is to remove the urge to complete all the optional objectives in the first playthrough.
Please find below the detailed patchnotes. We hope that this new iteration of the game will bring both the fun and chaos of packing to you.

Difficulty
The Star system has been overhauled. Each level now have 3 distinct difficulties: Easy, Medium and Hard
The Easy difficulty is selected by default
Each difficulty has its own save slot by level so you can progress and restart any level independently
A tooltip in the Level Selection menu explains the differences between them
The next levels are unlocked by completing the Easy difficulty
Grids in game adapts according to the difficulty level to be easier to see
Easy
The Easy difficulty (formerly First Star) has been rebalanced to allow players to pack without planning every detail.
The UI in game have been reworked to remove mentions of the other difficulties
Extra objects are not displayed
Medium
The Medium difficulty stays mostly the same
Balancing tweaks to improve progression
Hard
In the Hardest one, the difficulty is still very much there for anyone who wants to challenge themselves to a hard earned star.
We recommend it for a second playthrough because it often requires a very specific plan and knowledge of the level to be completed
Balancing: Sylvie 2014 & 2015. We took the second wheel off the bike!
Objective panel is updated in real time

The saves from anyone who played the previous versions are converted on this patch so progress in each level is not lost
