The central and most defining feature of  gorilla tag   is its original and iconic physics-driven locomotion.

1. Movement Without Buttons

• Hand-Based Control: Players propel themselves entirely through the movement of their hands and arms. There are no buttons, no sticks, and no teleportation. To move, players physically swing their arms, pushing off surfaces to jump, slide, or climb.

• Easy to Learn, Hard to Master: This unique movement system is incredibly immersive and intuitive to begin with, but achieving high-level proficiency—such as wall climbing vertically or maintaining maximum speed and momentum—requires significant dexterity and practice, creating a high skill ceiling.

2. Platforms and Accessibility

Gorilla Tag supports crossplay across its major platforms, fostering a massive and unified global community. The game's low storage requirement (around $140$MB) and relatively low system demands have contributed greatly to its broad accessibility.
