Released October 25th, 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)

It's fall time again in BFDI: Branches. It's that special time of year with branches falling everywhere, the smell of pumpkin in the air, and the screams of leaves beneath your feet. (On second thought, try to forget about that last one.)

The Branchfall Update adds fall-themed elements to the level editor, other new elements, and more improvements to the game! These improvements include a level editor element search bar, unlimited undo and redo in the level editor, example levels in Create mode, and more! v0.3 is also the first update for the game developed by Team Snowflakes, instead of Team Branches. Team Snowflakes is a second development team for BFDI: Branches, to help Team Branches with new updates for the game. We've heard the requests for more content and more frequent updates, and Team Snowflakes will help us with meeting those goals!
