Draft:Chimplex

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chimplex is a multiplayer virtual reality (VR) game developed by ExoticGames, also known by the pseudonym ThatDevExotic. Released in 2024, the game is recognized as an improved version of Gorilla Tag, providing an enhanced experience with a focus on bug reduction and preventing cheating. It is available primarily on Meta Quest and other VR platforms.

Gameplay

[edit]

Chimplex centers around a variant of the game **Infection Tag**, where players are divided into two teams: infected and runners. The infected players must tag the runners to convert them to their team, while the runners must avoid being tagged for as long as possible. The game distinguishes itself with its **low-gravity** environment, which allows players to jump higher and move differently than in traditional tag games.

The game includes several distinct maps:

  • Parkour / Only Up Map: A challenging vertical parkour course.
  • Parking Lot Map: A semi-realistic parking lot.
  • Forest Map: A nature-themed environment that encourages hiding and strategic ground movement.
  • Shop Map: An area where players can customize their chimp by purchasing cosmetic items.
  • Arcade Map: A fun-themed map featuring a retro arcade style with neon lights.

Development

[edit]

Chimplex was developed by ThatDevExotic under **ExoticGames**. The game takes heavy inspiration from Gorilla Tag but builds on its core mechanics by addressing bugs and modding issues that affected the original game. The developer's emphasis on providing a cleaner, mod-free environment has contributed significantly to the game's appeal.
