Playtest Update – Controls and Tutorial Improvements

On Steam


Thanks to everyone who has played Nest Rivals and shared their feedback!

This update focuses on making the controls and early campaign stages easier to understand.

  • Clearer tutorial instructions: Improved explanations for movement, Shift + Click interactions, gathering food and digging.
  • Better campaign guidance: More detailed instructions for building your first nest, growing your colony and collecting nectar to establish additional nests.
  • Improved stage navigation: The campaign map now features clearer "Continue Stage" and "Restart Stage" options. Restarting a stage creates a new world without deleting previous saves.
  • Consistent digging controls: Shift + Click is now used for digging in both the Playtest and Demo versions.
  • Movement input improvements: Improved handling of keyboard and controller input when the game loses focus to help prevent stuck movement.

The core gameplay and difficulty remain unchanged.

Thanks again for your feedback — it directly helps improve Nest Rivals!
