In Gorilla Tag, you take on the role of a gorilla, with a movement mechanic based entirely on the use of your hands. Climb around and engage in thrilling chases.
Gorilla Tag lets you embody a unique, legless ape. Here, you are free to leap, climb, and engage in heart-pounding chases through a lush, green forest, all rendered in a classic, low-poly art style.
The standout feature that makes Gorilla Tag so compelling is its movement system, which relies exclusively on your hands. There are no legs or complex automated movement controls; instead, you must use your hands to push off surfaces—such as walls, tree branches, or the ground—to navigate, climb, and execute spectacular parkour-style jumps.
| Technique | Description & Execution |
|---|---|
| Horizontal Thrust | Push off surfaces lightly parallel to the ground to glide forward rapidly while keeping a low profile. |
| Vertical Launch | Exert strong downward force against the surface below to launch high into treetops or wooden structures. |
| Continuous Wall Leap | Rapidly grip and push off back and forth between adjacent walls to scale vertical terrain at high speeds. |
To become the most agile ape in the world of Gorilla Tag, you’ll need to master the controls and learn expert climbing techniques:
Click and hold the left mouse button: Swing your arms and press against surfaces like the ground, wooden walls, or tree branches to propel yourself forward or launch yourself upward.
Pushing and vaulting: Push firmly against the ground to jump high, or push laterally to dash quickly in a specific direction.
Master the Wall Hop: Leap in a zigzag pattern between two nearby walls, using your hands to push off each surface to ascend rapidly.
Stay low to the ground: Avoid swinging your arms too high, which can cause your character to bounce into the air and lose momentum. Instead, use gentle, controlled pushes close to the ground to glide forward faster when being chased.
Observe your opponent’s perspective: Utilize your peripheral awareness to anticipate their movements, then execute a sharp change in direction by pushing off a nearby tree trunk.
Once you’ve mastered the art of swinging, launching yourself, and outmaneuvering others in the high-stakes chases of Gorilla Tag, put your patience and precise control to the ultimate test with Getting Over It. In this legendary climbing game, a single minor slip-up could send you all the way back to the starting line!
