While some of this could be due to the fact that the developer had been wisely building a small following of players to provide feedback as he developed the game, the rapid growth and popularity is more attributable to the fact that it’s a fun, free-to-play game through both Oculus App Lab and Steam VR.
Gorilla Tag released earlier this year on Steam (February 12) and then Oculus App lab (March 12) and immediately had an active playerbase. Once you’re infected, it then becomes your goal to infect others. In infection mode, there are four or more players and the goal is to run away from infected gorillas. In tag, there are up to three players and the goal is to tag the others. There are two game modes – tag and infection. Gorilla Tag also continues to underscore the fitness benefits of combining technology and physical sport.
There are no buttons, sticks, or teleportation and it’s marvelous actually in its reminder of how much fun immersive environments are simply because we can exist in there in ways that aren’t possible in physical reality. The mottos of Another Axiom’s Gorilla Tag, an immersive VR game created by Kerestell “Lemming” Smith, remind us that sometimes people just want to “be a little monke.”
