Gorilla Tag


What is Gorilla Tag?

Gorilla Tag is a fast-paced VR multiplayer game where players move only with their arms, creating unique movement-based chases, climbing, and social fun.

I wasn't expecting Gorilla Tag to feel this different from other VR games, but after a few matches I completely understood why so many players keep coming back. Instead of using a traditional joystick, I had to rely entirely on my arms to run, climb, and jump. The learning curve felt rewarding, and every successful escape or chase made me want to improve even more.

Get away from the infected gorillas as quickly as possible

Movement-driven action

The gameplay of Gorilla Tag is easy to understand with simple controls but surprisingly challenging to master.

Objectives in Gorilla Tag

  • Escape from infected gorillas in classic mode
  • Chase and tag other players when you are infected
  • Explore different maps and discover creative movement routes
  • Improve speed and precision through practice

How to control

  • Move using arm swinging instead of walking controls
  • Push off surfaces to gain speed
  • Climb walls using momentum
  • Jump by timing hand pushes correctly

While playing, I kept thinking of fast-reaction games like Geometry Dash, because both require timing, repetition, and learning from mistakes, but here it's full-body movement rather than just pressing buttons.

Game features

Some features that stood out during my playtime in Gorilla Tag include:

  • Physics-based arm locomotion
  • Multiplayer lobbies with active players
  • Multiple maps featuring different climbing opportunities
  • Easy-to-learn but difficult-to-master gameplay
  • Strong replay value thanks to unpredictable matches
  • Fun social interactions with voice chat

Tips and tricks

When I first played, I was completely lost, but these tips helped me improve faster:

  • Practice climbing before joining competitive matches.
  • Keep your arm swings smooth instead of using excessive force.
  • Learn wall-running techniques one step at a time.
  • Watch experienced players to understand efficient movement paths.

Stay calm during chases because controlled movement is usually faster than panicking.
