BOG is a lil shared-screen stealth-combat game.
It's still a work in progress, and there are definitely some known bugs.
Hopefully I'm already working on any weirdness you notice, but please do get in touch if you have any feedback/issues, it's hugely appreciated.

Thanks!
System:
BOG does well with a desktop-class CPU, but can run on laptops as well. It's still playable below 60fps but you can turn on a framerate toggle in the options to see if how you're doing. Try knocking the grass density down a little bit if it's slow.
Meanwhile I'll keep hacking away in the emerald mines of shader code knowledge to hopefully make it smoother for everybody.
What you'll need to play:
2 relatively modern usb controllers to connect, and a friend to play with.
BOG's now using InControl. You can see a list of the supported controller types here.
Note some controllers require 3rd party drivers I can't vouch for. Be wary of the PS3 stuff on windows especially. :|
How to play:
X to slash.
A to dash.
A then X to strike.
B to duck.
Y to wiggle grass while you're ducked.
You can hide in the grass while ducking, Wiggle to find yourself, and try to spot the Wiggles of your opponent.
Dashing into an opponent will Check them, and potentially knock them out of the arena.
Slashing while Dashing will yield a Strike; a further-reaching and more focused attack.
Kill your opponent before they kill you.
