BFDI: Branches v0.3.2 - Branchmas 2025 Update patch notes

Released December 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)

You know that time of year when the Earth tilts away from the Sun and the outside looks like an Ice Cube family reunion? That means it's Branchmas time! That's when snow-covered branches get planted in the yard, tall glasses get filled with yoyleberrynog, and Santa Leafy gifts good little players with toys. Oh yeah, there's new toys to play with!

Earlier, we introduced the Jump Cloud, which lets you jump high in the air. Now, there's the Super Jump Cloud, shocking your muscles into jumping higher! There's also the Mega Jump Cloud, rocketing you up even higher-er! But beware of jumping while inside the Evil Cloud, which will not only deny your jump, but zap you with damage too!

Players watch gameplay videos and see what to do, but sometimes not how to do it. Well, now you can wow your friends with your epic Branches skills and show 'em how it's done with the Input Display feature (found in the Settings' Accessibility tab)! All this and more presents in v0.3.2 - Branchmas 2025 Update!

Do you prefer to read parodies of 19th century poetry instead of playing brand-new video game updates? No? Well if you ever change your mind, here's the lore drop from last night's blog: "'Twas the Night Before Branchmas."
