About Nest Align
A sorting puzzle set across a row of branches. Birds will only land beside a matching bird or on a branch with room to spare, and gathering four of the same kind together sends them off and frees the branch again. Empty branches are the only real resource in the game, so most levels come down to how long you can avoid spending your last one. Simple enough to understand within a move, and constrained enough that a level can be lost several moves before it looks lost.
How to Play
Tap a bird to move it to another branch. A bird can only go onto a matching bird, or onto a branch with enough space free. Gather four of the same bird on one branch and they fly off, clearing it. Work out where a bird is going before you move it — filling your last free branch is what ends most levels.
Good to know
One tap per move and no timer, which makes it about as approachable as the catalogue gets — it suits children and it suits playing a level at a time between other things. Works identically on desktop and phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can I not move that bird there?
A bird can only land on a matching bird or on a branch with space. A branch holding a different type is closed to you even if it is not full.
How many birds make a group?
Four of the same kind on the same branch. They fly away and free the branch, which is how you get space back.
I am stuck — did I do something wrong?
Levels can be completed from where they start, so being stuck means a free branch was used earlier than it should have been. Restarting and holding it back usually opens things up.
