Project Hexa

Project Hexa is a fast-paced, immersive virtual reality (VR) multiplayer game that combines the simplicity of tag with uniquely physical, freeform movement mechanics. Developed by ToasterGames, Project Hexa has become a viral hit for its unconventional locomotion system that relies entirely on arm-based movement—there are no buttons for running or jumping. Instead, you move by swinging and pushing yourself with your hands, using your virtual gorilla arms to climb, vault, and propel yourself across a variety of environments.

At its core, Project Hexa is about the exhilarating experience of chasing and evading other players. You assume the role of a gorilla—complete with long arms and no legs—and must master the art of locomotion by physically moving your real arms to simulate walking, running, and climbing. This motion-based approach creates an intense feeling of presence and makes even simple actions—like scaling a tree, launching off a branch, or leaping across a gap—feel satisfying and skill-based.

Gameplay Modes:

• Tag – The classic mode where one player is “it” (a Lava Monkey) and must tag others to infect them. Once tagged, other players also become Lava Monkeys, working together to catch the remaining runners.

• Infection – Similar to Tag, but the infection spreads progressively until only one uninfected player remains.

• Hunt – Each player is assigned a specific target to track down and tag while avoiding their own hunter.

• Casual/Practice – Non-competitive free play where you can practice movement, explore the maps, or socialize.

Maps & Environments:
Gorilla Tag offers multiple stylized maps, each with different layouts and traversal challenges:

• Forest – The original outdoor playground filled with trees, platforms, and stumps to climb and jump across.

• Canyon – A sprawling desert canyon with tight corridors, vertical climbs, and ropes to swing on.

• City – A vibrant urban area with buildings, parkour-style obstacles, and hidden shops.

• Caves, Mountains, and More – Additional themed maps with unique movement elements like icy slides, tunnels, and towering cliffs.

Community & Customization:
Project Hexa has an active community that drives much of the game’s appeal. Players can:

• Customize their gorilla avatars with hats, masks, badges, and seasonal cosmetics.

• Join public or private rooms with friends.

• Participate in seasonal events and limited-time updates.

Why It’s Special:

• Skill-based movement – Unlike many VR games that use teleportation or joystick movement, Project Hexa requires real, physical exertion, making it both accessible and challenging.

• Social interaction – Voice chat and proximity-based audio create an energetic, sometimes hilarious environment where players shout, strategize, and form friendships.

• Free-to-play – The core experience is free, with optional cosmetics available through in-game purchases.

Overall Experience:
Project Hexa delivers a one-of-a-kind VR experience that’s part playground, part workout, and all fun. Whether you’re frantically scrambling up a tree to avoid a Lava Monkey or leaping off a ledge to tag a friend midair, the game constantly rewards creativity and skillful movement. Its combination of accessible mechanics, community-driven gameplay, and pure physicality has made it a favorite among VR enthusiasts of all ages.
