Nested is a cute grid-based puzzle game made around the concept of russian nesting dolls. Come twist your brain as you stack, push and interact with the various objects you'll find in each levels. Let's see if you can reach the right combination of nesting dolls to solve every one of them!
If you enjoy cozy, relaxing indie games and love a good challenge with clever puzzles to solve, then Nested is for you!
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.
