GROVE is a 2-player stealth combat game, where both players are invisible.

You possess a motion-powered cloaking device. Stand still, and your battery will run out. When it does, you’ll be visible to your enemies.

Pay attention to nature and how you it reacts to you.
Use this to locate yourself – and your opponent.

Find your opponent and Attack them.
But be careful. Attacking will make you Vulnerable for 2 seconds, making you visible, slow and unable to attack.

Attack when you have Ammo to fire across the map.

When attacked, you will smokescreen and teleport away to safety. Locate yourself again quickly to capitalise on your opponent’s vulnerability.

Burst when the enemy is nearby to send them across the Grove and reveal their position.
Best used when Vulnerable to escape danger.
Recover Burst after 3 attacks.

the concept, as said before, is awesome. it feels absolutely confusing in the best way possible. also i suck at the game, my friends keep winning

haha, thanks so much!
i've had some players say "It's disorienting that I can't tell where I am", to which i can only say "Yes it is!!"

I'm glad you're enjoying it!
my number one tip is to abuse burst + gun to snipe them across the map. It's a super flashy combo i you can get it off.

What a cool concept!

Thanks very much! It's been a super fun project to work on. 
Making both players invisible leads to some interesting design/communication issues.

Cool concept, looking forward to some more gameplay updates! :)

I like that you can play both sides on one controller, because I don't need a friend to play with.
