🦍 SC232's Gtag Fangame Expo '26 🍌

Welcome to the biggest celebration of locomotion, slippery walls, and low-poly chaos of the year!

SC232's Gtag Fangame Expo '26 is a Game Jam dedicated to the creativity of the Gorilla Tag community. Whether you are a seasoned Unity dev or just figured out how to install the Gorilla Locomotion script yesterday, this is your chance to show off what you can build.

🎨 The Theme

THEME: Anything Goes

This is the first Version of the Expo, so let your mind loose.

📜 The Rules (Strictly Enforced)

1. Fangames Only: Submissions must be inspired by Gorilla Tag mechanics (locomotion, tag, infection, etc.).
2. VR & Flatscreen Allowed: While VR is preferred, flatscreen (PC/Android) ports are welcome if the movement feels authentic. But we recommend you publish for Meta Quest, Meta Horizon OS Runs on Android, so publish it as an .apk file.
3. Keep it TOS Friendly: * NO NSFW content. * NO hate speech or discriminatory content. * NO malicious code or "IP grabbers."
4. Asset Usage: * You CAN use the standard Gorilla Locomotion scripts. * You CAN use royalty-free assets (Sketchfab, Pixabay, Mixkit, etc.) if you have the license. * YouCANtake assets made by other users, but you areRequired to get permission from the creator and put them in the credits for your game. * DO NOT rip assets directly from the official Gorilla Tag game files (maps, proprietary cosmetics) without significant modification or fair use justification. * AI Is**Allowed,**but it cannot take up most of your game. Be sure to credit what AI engine you use (e.g., Meshy,ChatGPT, Anything World,Gemini)
5. New Projects Only: You must start your project when the jam begins. You can use your own existing code templates/locomotion setup, but the map and gameplay loop should be new.

🏆 Categories & Voting

The community will vote on the following criteria:

• Locomotion Feel: How smooth is the movement? Does it feel like true Monke physics?
• Map Design: Is there a good flow? Are there good branching routes and juke spots?
• Creativity: Is it just a copy, or did you add a unique twist (e.g., horror elements, story mode, new gamemodes)?
• "Monke" Factor: How fun is it to just hang out in the lobby?
