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.
Chimplex is a 2024 virtual reality social casual game developed by Exotic (ExoticGames). In Chimplex, players control chimp-like creatures using arm-based locomotion similar to Gorilla Tag, navigating environments to play a tag-style infection game. Developed by Exotic as his third game, Chimplex was launched on the Horizon Store for Meta Quest in late 2024. Within a month of release, the game gained more than 30,000 installs and earned a 4.7-star rating. The game has since built a dedicated following, with many YouTube videos produced weekly and an active Discord community of over 2,000 members.
Gameplay
In Chimplex, players take on the role of legless, chimp-like creatures that move by using hand-based movements. Players push themselves off surfaces to move and climb with their arms, creating an immersive, physical experience. The game features three main environments—Low Gravity, Parkour, and Only Up—which offer unique challenges for players to explore.
The main game mode is infection tag, where one player begins as an infected chimp and must tag others to spread the infection. Voice chat is enabled by default, allowing players to communicate or strategize during matches. Players can also purchase cosmetics or earn them by leveling up, with one level gained for every 300 seconds of gameplay.
Development and release
Chimplex was developed as a solo project by Exotic, who had previously created two other games. Chimplex is his most successful project to date, marking its launch on the Horizon Store for Meta Quest in late 2024. Although the development was not inspired by any specific story, the game quickly gained popularity through social media and online communities.
Reception
Chimplex has received favorable reviews, with an average rating of 4.7 stars. By the end of its first month on the Meta Quest platform, the game had surpassed 30,000 installs, signaling strong early success. Its active player base continues to grow as the game is regularly featured in user-generated content on YouTube and discussed in its official Discord community.
Popularity and community
Chimplex has built a strong online presence, with players regularly creating YouTube videos highlighting gameplay, strategies, and tips. The game’s Discord server, searchable through "Chimplex" on Discord discovery, boasts over 2,000 members and serves as a hub for players to connect, share experiences, and discuss game updates. Exotic, the developer, also maintains a YouTube channel where he shares content related to the game. The game's official trailer can be found here, and Exotic's YouTube channel is available here.
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.
