Released September 20th, 2025

(⚠ Do not close the game while it is updating. If your pck gets corrupted, you will have to redownload the game from itch.io)

Magna Carta. Bill of Rights. Power of Four. These are for a FACT the best updates in human history (especially that last one).

Now non-stop, heart-pounding, four-player action is available in BFDI: Branches! "But how much will it cost? Can I afford this best update in human history?" FACT: Power of Four Update is FREE! FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Introducing… Aimbot

Long ago, the Aimbots were commissioned as defense turrets in the military. Now, these veterans have been asked to come back to the battlefield one last time by a particularly pentagonal speaker box. These robots will fire their projectile laser beams at any player who comes near, locking on with perfect accuracy. They have developed protective armor to prevent a quick defeat like other enemies, being able to tank not two, not four, but three hits! If those facts already make you want to wave your white flag, hold onto your helmets for a moment. They are well trained to jog with heavy equipment, but stay still because they were trained to never surrender their post, allowing swift players to sneak in enough hits to defeat them. And if you think Aimbots are cheating… I don't know, have you tried getting good?

Fun fact: Aimbots have the ability to scale the Eiffel Tower with nothing but a jar of peanut butter and a ballpoint pen.

Introducing… Quickscope

The Quickscopes believe there are two types of people: the quick and the dead. Triple agents by day and quadruple agents by night, they've got a license to kill anyone who manages to figure out what that means. Prepared to win by any means necessary, they aim their laser beams at the player continuously in burst fire mode, making them one of the toughest enemies in Goiky. These expert sharpshooters have trained thousands of hours in aiming simulations, with enough aim to hit the broad side of a barn—on the Moon! And you better think twice about the old stomp-and-instantly-win trick, since they've reverse-engineered the Aimbots' triple armor technology as well. If you cross paths with these world-famous top-secret agents after they've seen you… then it's probably already too late.

Fun fact: Quickscopes like their juice boxes shaken, not stirred.
