Your first meeting
Three steps.
Several consequences.
New to artillery? Orientation gives you time to practise before the meeting clock starts.
Report for orientationReport for orientation
Open the game, choose a name and department, and start as a guest. Take the introduction to practise on foam targets at your own pace.
Line up your shot
Drag from your tank or adjust Elevation and Power. Watch the dotted trajectory and the wind. Use the arrow keys for small adjustments.
Lock in. Watch. Adjust.
Choose Lock In Shot or press Space. Everyone fires together. Read the hit or miss report, adjust your next shot, and stay above the rising Cost Cutting demolition.
Choose your department
Nine ways to make this everyone’s problem.
Sales closes deals. Engineering repairs the damage. Finance writes it off. Each department brings signature weapons, a gadget, an Executive Action and a mentor with opinions.
In the building today
A small meeting. A much bigger grudge.
The floor is negotiable.
Fight through the Bullpen, Server Room and Atrium. Blasts reshape the terrain. Stay too long and Cost Cutting demolishes the building from below.
Your next promotion is personal.
Climb from Intern to Senior, complete Inbox tickets, and compare performance reviews. Watch the replay, then request another meeting.

What is Branchwars?
A free browser artillery game set inside a corporation at civil war. Departments are factions, matches are meetings, and shells destroy the office around you.
Do I need an account or a download?
No. Open the game and play as a guest. Google sign-in is optional: use it to save your career and restore it in another browser or on another computer.
How do I aim and fire?
Drag from your tank or use the Elevation and Power sliders. Check the wind, then press Lock In Shot or Space. Everyone plans at once, and the volley fires together. Arrow keys fine-tune your aim.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Create a private room and share its room code, or join The Sync, the public 6v6 match. Bots fill empty seats when there are not enough human players.
Is there paid power?
No. Combat power is earned by playing. Career progression unlocks weapons; money never buys an advantage. There are no energy gates or paid random rewards.
Can I play on my phone?
A desktop or laptop with a keyboard is recommended. The website works on small screens, but the game is designed around a wide battlefield. Dedicated mobile polish is still planned.
Development, on the record

Reading the counters…
The fine print, in large print
No paid power.
Plenty of office politics.
No energy gates. No paid randomness. All departments and the full arsenal are earned by playing. Your budget is for ammunition, not a checkout.
