Beast n Branch is a 3D stylized action brawler where the woodland goes to war — one twig at a time. Play as an adorably chubby animal armed with a handcrafted stick gun, and survive relentless waves of equally-armed forest critters in a chaotic arena showdown.

The Absurd Arsenal

Forget steel and gunpowder. In Beast n Branch, every weapon is lovingly assembled from nature’s scraps — twigs, leaves, pebbles, and whatever else the forest floor has to offer. Your twig gun might look ridiculous, but it hits just as hard as the acorn-launcher your enemies are packing. Loot fallen foes to upgrade your loadout and discover increasingly unhinged woodland weaponry.

Survive the Waves

Each wave throws more woodland warriors at you than the last. Shoot, dodge, and scramble across the arena as squirrels, hedgehogs, and other rotund critters close in from every direction. Timing your dodges and picking the right moment to grab a dropped weapon can mean the difference between victory and becoming someone else’s loot.

Fish for Power

Between waves, head to the pond and cast your line. Fishing isn’t just a breather — it’s your best shot at reeling in rare branches, exotic materials, and strange weapons that can’t be found anywhere else. The pond rewards patience and a little luck, so choose wisely before the next wave begins.

Core Loop

  • Shoot — Unleash your twig-powered arsenal on waves of woodland enemies
  • Dodge — Stay nimble; the arena gets crowded fast
  • Loot — Grab weapons from fallen foes to stay armed and dangerous
  • Fish — Cast between waves to discover rare and bizarre new gear
