High Quality VR Games Like Gorilla Tag

Here at Reality Remake I’ve already told you about some of the interesting Gorilla Tag knock offs there are out there. I’ve even shown you some Gorilla Tag horror games as well, if you like scariness.

While these games mostly feel like low effort knock-offs, there’s a new breed of VR Games Like Gorilla Tag that are coming out. These new Gorilla Tag games are high quality and have a ton of new features and worlds to explore. They’re not just low effort Gorilla Tag knock offs.

So if you’re looking for some good games like Gorilla Tag then look no further because I’ve got a few great ones for you right here. Such as…

Yeeps: Hide and Seek - Games Like Gorilla Tag

The Yeeps Logo

Yeeps is currently the strongest of the new Gorilla Tag contenders to come out, as you can tell by the massive amount of ratings on its page in the Meta Quest store.

Yeeps starts by not just making you a monkey or gorilla again as many other games do, but some sort of pillow creature. I’m not really sure what you and your fellow VR gamers are supposed to be, but you’ve got a belly full of stuffing and the ability to bounce around on your hands just like in Gorilla Tag.

A yeep with pins to tag other players with. Another way this game like Gorilla Tag changes up the original game.

While there are a few game modes in Yeeps: Hide and Seek, they mostly boil down to either hanging out or playing tag. What really separates Yeeps from other VR games like Gorilla Tag or other games with Gorilla Tag type movement is in how it treats the maps that you play tag on.

While Gorilla Tag has many maps made by the creator of the game that you can travel between, Yeeps gives players tools to make their own maps. In Gorilla Tag you’re limited by what comes with the game. In Yeeps you can make maps or play tag on maps that others have made.

The difference is more than that, though. Yeeps also gives players opportunities to change the map in game by creating pillows with the stuffing in your character. You can create huge pillow forts (and break them down) while trying to avoid being tagged.

You can use your stuffing to create pillow pieces and place them practically anywhere. Also, like any good Gorilla Tag successor, Yeeps has some very fun gadgets to try.

So if you really like the tag aspect of Gorilla Tag then you should give Yeeps a try. It will probably be the Gorilla Tag type game for you. It really focuses in on playing tag in Virtual Reality with Gorilla Tag movement. Yeeps gives you a ton of new maps and new strategies to try with the building system. If you want a Gorilla Tag game that takes tag to the next level then Yeeps: Hide and Seek does that.

Yeeps: Hide and Seek is FREE on the Meta Quest store.

Animal Company - Games Like Gorilla Tag

If you want some mayhem and some fun exploring mysterious and dangerous places then Animal Company is the VR game like Gorilla Tag for you.

Unlike other Gorilla Tag games that focus more on the “Tag” part of Gorilla Tag, Animal Company takes the unique movement that was invented by the creator of Gorilla Tag and basically throws out everything else. There’s no tagging, but there are an absolute ton of items to use, places to explore, dangers to avoid, and of course other players to blow you up.

There are a ton of skins as well as gadgets in Animal Company.

Animal Company could really use a tutorial, but when you figure out (or get told by some helpful players) how to buy and use items, it’s an absolute blast to play around with them.

From glowsticks to dynamite to revolvers to anti gravity hover boards, there are a ton of gadgets in Animal Company, so many that they’re really the core feature of the game. There are so many gadgets that they go beyond what any other game like Gorilla Tag offers. You even get backpacks to hold them because there are so many with such a wide variety of uses.

Of course the game wouldn’t be much fun if the only point of these items were to play around with them for a while and then get bored. Where Animal Company really shines and makes itself more than just a Gorilla Tag ripoff is in how it makes those items important for actually winning in the game.

There are a lot of dangerous creatures in Animal Company, like this ogre eating another player.

You see, in Animal Company you need research points to be able to make new items, and you need money to be able to buy items at all. How do you get these things? Well you’re going to have to go far from the comfort of the safe zone that you spawn in at.

You’ll need to go out into the wilderness to a wide variety of different places through blizzards, dark sewer tunnels, and other scary places. Unlike other Gorilla Tag games Animal Company doesn’t just put you somewhere and let you wander around risk free.

Nope, there are monsters around, and if you don’t have the items to stop them then you better hope you can run away in time. Of course like any good game defeating or evading the monsters means you can find treasures scattered around the map. Bring them back to the safe zone to sell them and bam, you’ve got more money for items.

Animal Company is one of the more creative and crazy looking VR games like Gorilla Tag.

If there’s a dark tunnel you need to get through then hopefully you have, or can find, a flare gun or a flashlight to light your way. Jumping puzzle too hard? Well you can basically skip it with a rocket to blast you across a chasm or a hover board to float over it. These items aren’t just fun to mess around with, they’re essential to surviving exploring the game world with more than just your ability to bounce with your arms like in any other Gorilla Tag game.

What makes Animal Company such a fun Gorilla Tag style game is that it takes the fun movement of Gorilla Tag, and basically puts RPG mechanics on top of it.

There’s progression based on how many items you have and how much money you have to get more, and there’s adventure and exploration all around the place. Animal Company isn’t just another VR tag game, it really adds a lot of adventure to a game with Gorilla Tag movement.

Also the items are a ton of fun to play around with, more than any of the other Gorilla Tag games. Animal Company is FREE on the Meta Quest store.

Well those are some of the more high quality games like Gorilla Tag. Have you found another game that you think belongs here? Well then leave a comment and I’ll get right to trying that game out and adding it to the article. Enjoy!

Crazy Gorilla Tag Rip Offs and Gorilla Tag Knock Offs

If you’re here you’re probably a big fan of the hit VR game Gorilla Tag. It’s a fantastic and unique game that takes a lot of what Virtual Reality gaming has to offer and runs with it with its unique movement and quirky graphics.

It’s a lot of fun to be a monkey in Gorilla Tag, but what about all of the Gorilla Tag rip offs out there? Gtag is a wildly popular game, and so a there are a lot of Gorilla Tag knock offs and rip offs out there trying to take some of the original’s success and do something different with it.

Sure we’re calling them knock offs and rip offs here, and that might sound a little harsh, but it’s very doubtful that any of these games would exist if Gorilla Tag was never made.

Despite these Gorilla Tag fan games and games like Gorilla Tag being labeled as such here, you’ll find that each of these games here brings something new and wacky to the table. There are a lot of Gorilla Tag knock offs out there, but we’ve narrowed the list down a bit to the most noteworthy.

With the exception of just one of these Gorilla Tag knock offs (you’ll know which one is the outlier), you’ll find something new and interesting in each of them. Though beware, you probably won’t get as much of a polished and bug free experience as you might in the original game.

So here they are, the biggest Gorilla Tag rip offs and knock offs there are.

Capuchin

Capuchin in a nutshell

Capuchin is currently the most popular Gorilla Tag rip off out there. Instead of a gorilla, you’re a capuchin monkey. With the terrifying face to prove it.

Capuchin is also generally a more chill and hangout focused experience than the original gtag. Sure there’s still the movement you’d expect in a Gorilla Tag knock off, but most of the game is exploring all of the cool new environments that it brings to the table.

Oh, and there are a ton of great items to be gotten. Like a nerf gun, and there’s even a Roomba.

The Capuchin horror mode

The most popular feature in Capuchin is probably the horror mode, where some insanely scary AI gorillas with glowing red eyes try to tag you… and the results if they do are very scary.

Overall in terms of game feel and movement, Capuchin is very similar to Gorilla Tag and despite being considered a rip off does bring some new ideas of its own to the table, and a whole new set of great environments to bounce around and explore.

Capuchin is popular for a reason. The capuchin faces are much more expressive than the old gorilla faces, and the movement is really good. This might be a clear Gorilla Tag knock off, but it brings some new flavor to the formula and is a good game overall.

If you want more Gorilla Tag outside of Gorilla Tag, then Capuchin is the first game you should try, and it’s available on the Meta Quest App Lab for free.

Gorilla Realism

What even is this?

So we’ve tried a game that makes you a different sort of monkey, but how about a game that makes you a human again?

Well, kind of. Not really. More of a human monkey hybrid. It’s horrifying to look at really.

The insane hands you get in Gorilla Realism

Well we’ve started with a Gorilla Tag rip off that is really good, so now it’s time for a really bad one.

Gorilla Realism is hardly a game really. It’s just a big open area where you can look at your terrifying hands and fall into a river filled with default Unity asset blocks.

It’s laggy, the movement is terrible. There’s nothing to do. It’s really more of a meme than an actual game. Also it’s only available on Sidequest.

Stay away from Gorilla Realism unless you really want to embrace just how bad a Gorilla Tag rip off can be. If you have to give it a try then you can find it on SideQuest for free.

Consider this a public service announcement and warning, Gorilla Realism embraces the title of “rip off” and brings nothing new to the Gorilla Tag formula. This game is the dark side of knock offs.

Bread Runners

In Bread Runners you are bread!

Alright so, here we have the movement of Gorilla Tag again. It wouldn’t be a Gorilla Tag knock off it it didn’t have the same movement of course.

Except now your hands are loaves of bread. Also, you are a loaf of bread. Welcome to Bread Runners.

The canyon map in Bread Runners

So in Bread Runners you start out in a pretty normal looking apartment, and get a great chance to look at your bread hands.

Once you’re done admiring the modern architecture you can wander outside to find a number of really wacky things like a giant microwave with bread platforms inside, and a number of bridges leading off to new areas.

As in Gorilla Tag you wander from area to area, exploring around and hanging out. There’s some really interesting sights to see, and we won’t spoil all of them for you here.

Oh and these interesting sights include the backrooms, which seems to be becoming a trend in Gorilla Tag rip offs. They include the backrooms a lot.

You can now visit the backrooms as a piece of bread

There are some other maps like a canyon map that looks weirdly photorealistic for a Gorilla Tag type of game. Still, Bread Runners is not a terrible game.

There are definitely more bugs than in Gorilla Tag, and that combined with the disjointed themes of the environments makes for an experience that feels a lot like a fan game. Though the creators’ love of bread is evident everywhere you go.

Bread Runners can also be a little laggy, though not nearly as badly as Gorilla Realism. More than anything else it takes the movement of Gorilla Tag and puts it into even wackier settings than the original game.

The biggest downside to Bread Runners is that it’s supposed to be multiplayer, but either there was nobody online, it just wasn’t working, or we didn’t turn it on and couldn’t find how. We never saw anyone else when trying Bread Runners out.

Hopefully you have more luck if you want to give Bread Runners a try, and it’s available for free on the Meta Quest App Lab.

Bird Runners

The Bird Runners logo… maybe

Alright so we’ve had a Gorilla Tag knock off that makes you bread, so how about a Gorilla Tag knock off that makes you… a bird?

Yep, that’s bird runners, where your monkey hands have now been replaced by Bird claws. This is starting to become a real trend in all these games like Gorilla Tag.

Still, just like the other Gorilla Tag rip offs on this list (except for Gorilla Realism) Bird Runners does have some new and unique things to offer.

Flying with the crazy Bird Runners hands

The unique thing that Bird Runners adds to the Gorilla Tag formula more than anything else is the ability to fly. Get a little air by launching yourself off of the ground in classic Gorilla Tag style, and then flap your arms to fly up and backwards, forwards, anywhere you want to go.

It’s actually pretty awesome, and adds a great twist to the original movement of gtag. It’s got multiplayer too, and even a tutorial that tells you how to connect to lobbies.

Just like Capuchin, Bird Runners feels like a very complete experience that brings new things to the table when compared with Gorilla Tag. Oh, and popular youtuber jmancurly is featured prominently, to the point that it’s a little creepy.

jmancurly’s face is everywhere in Bird Runners

The biggest downside to Bird Runners is that the maps and textures look bad, even by the abstract standards of games like Gorilla Tag.

A lot of them are very bland and are just a mix of seemingly random assets, plain ground textures, and trees.

They lack the polish and excellent design of the original Gorilla Tag or the wild creativity of other Gorilla Tag knock offs. Like so many of these games you can find Bird Runners on the Quest App Lab for free.

Big Scary

The Big Scary logo

So we’ve had a lot of Gorilla Tag knock offs here that change what you are, or put you in vastly different environments, or add something new to the movement of the original game.

So now let’s talk about a game that does more than any other Gorilla Tag fan game to change the feel of gtag.

That’s right, while Capuchin had a horror map, it was really another chill game to hang out and play tag in most of the time. Now with Big Scary, we’re going fully into a Gorilla Tag horror game.

The start of “level 2” in Big Scary

So once more you’re a monkey, and you’ve got a full Gorilla Tag style body and arms. The movement is the same as gtag as well.

The faces of all the players look different, like Capuchin they’re basically an image of an actual monkey, except in Big Scary they’re not capuchin monkeys.

So you leave the room you start in and notice that it’s dark… really dark. Luckily every player in Big Scary has a mining helmet with a light on it.

The darkness plays a big role in making Big Scary a scary sort of Gorilla Tag experience. Each level is really dark, but not so much that you can’t see thanks to your light, but your light doesn’t go very far, and one thing that you can see are the glowing eyes of the monsters hiding in the darkness.

Another monkey is caught by a monster in Big Scary

You go from level to level and complete a task or puzzle while the monsters look for you. Find an item and use it, press some buttons, all sorts of things. Get caught by the monster and lose.

It’s a very scary experience, but the biggest downside of it all is that it doesn’t use one of the greatest strengths of Gorilla Tag style movement, and that’s going up or down.

The levels in Big Scary are mostly flat. It would be a lot more fun to run away from the monsters if you had some spaces to climb and interesting obstacles to figure out how to get around.

The maps and all of the different ways you can run through them are a big part of what makes the original Gorilla Tag so much fun, and what makes getting chased so scary. You mostly just wiggle your arms on the floor to move forwards as quickly as possible.

Big Scary is the best Gorilla Tag horror game out there, but it’s lost a big part of what makes Gorilla Tag so much fun. After you beat a level in Big Scary once, it’s not a lot of fun to do again.

Still, Big Scary is pretty fun and scary the first time through, so it’s worth a try if you want a Gorilla Tag horror fan game. It’s available for free on the Meta Quest app lab.

Those are all of the Gorilla Tag rip offs and Gorilla Tag knock offs we’ve got for you today. Overall these games take a ton of inspiration from Gorilla Tag, and despite being knock offs all are fun (except for Gorilla Realism) and bring something new (except for Gorilla Realism).
