About Nested
IS THIS FOR YOU?
If you enjoy cozy, relaxing indie games and love a good challenge with clever puzzles to solve, then Nested is for you!HOW DOES IT WORK?
Throughout the game, you’ll progress through multiple levels filled with puzzles. Each puzzle is solved by stacking the correct combination of nesting dolls and matching the right sizes and colors on each stack nodes.Nesting dolls can also interact with objects based on their size and color. For example, a pink door will let a pink nesting doll pass through, but not a yellow one.In some levels, you’ll encounter Buttons with various effects. Some let you Invert your stack's colors, others make you Grow or Shrink, and some even spawn new nesting dolls. The possibilities are almost endless! Certain buttons also open doors — or even open up other nesting dolls.If a nesting doll is open and larger than you, you can enter it. If it’s closed or smaller, you may be able to push it — unless it’s already occupied by another smaller doll.You’ll also discover other mechanics, like Swap Nodes that let you switch the currently playable doll, or Bombs that let you destroy other nesting dolls. Nested was created during the GMTK Game Jam 2024, organized by Mark Brown, and was selected as one of the 20 winners of that year.What Steam players say

Having played the demo some time ago, I was looking forward to see how a final version of it would fare. And well, overall it's pretty good so far (played 30 minutes as of writing this). A few notes : - I wish there was a way to have a better sense of progression toward some goal(s). - Some of the puzzle solutions felt a bit counter-intuitive in some place (for one, having a button to do two different things and not knowning which before trying it is a bit confusing). - Being able to turn off rumble would be nice. Still, art and vibes are nice. Pretty dandy little game!1 found this helpful
A very cute puzzle game ! The base mechanic is neat and it was very entertaining to travel this world ! The pacing of the learning of some mechanics was kinda off paced at some placed so it whas a bit confusing what I had to do in some puzzle There was some bugs with some interractions, there were moments where a doll falls into an other one and breaks but sometimes the breaking wasn't consistent, and other times the dolls were changing colors while breaking, also there were moment where the TNT took more time than others to explode Congrats again for the jam this game originates froms !
Great puzzle game with lots of different mechanics!
