The popularity of Gorilla Tag has spawned clones and rip off galore. It being one of the most popular games on VR, that makes a ton of sense. However, when talking about gorilla tag, someone mentioned a game that could beat Gorilla Tag. That game is Yeeps: Hide and Seak. Thank you clihod2018 for the suggestion! Sorry for butchering your username. The question remains, is Yeeps a great game? More importantly, is Yeeps a good workout? Let’s find out.
[Jack Jenkins Intro]
Yeeps hide and seek is a free-to-play clone of gorilla tag in navigation alone. Instead of a gorilla you play as a Yeep, these zipper weirdos. You use your hands to navigate around the levels through moving, climbing and jumping. That’s where the similarities pretty much end. See, the zipper isn’t just a cosmetic design. The zipper holds your stuffing which you use to create objects such as blocks. You then use these blocks to move around the different levels to find places to hide. That’s where the game gets its name. Randomly, someone will get assigned to be the seeker and you must pin the hiding Yeeps. Find them all before the five-minute round to be victorious. Miss just one and you will be a failure forever.
The core mechanics of hide and seek is enhanced by your stuffing. Use your stuffing to build blocks to hide yourself. Or you can use your stuffing to create bats to attack or freeze balls to give yourself a few seconds to escape. You only get five-thousand units of stuffing though so chose wisely. Each object will cost a certain amount depending on how useful it is. You can refill your stuffing with these cotton machines. However, you have to stand there out in the open to refill which leaves you open for attacks.
To start off, you only have a single object you can build, the basic 1x1 block. You can unlock further objects and even outfits by purchasing them with buttcoins. Yes, the developers are definitely in on the fact that this game is meant for ten-year-olds with that name. Buttcoins can be earned by completing daily tasks assigned at three a day. These range from playing a few rounds or visiting new worlds or by using various items. It’s a great way to shake up playing other than the standard hide and seek. You can also get buttcoins by spending real world money. Can’t imagine how much money parents spent on this game. You can also find these chests around the map which gives you just a couple buttcoins. I was playing during the Christmas season so they had presents on each level containing further buttcoins. A holiday gift indeed.
The game includes a ton of fun and inventive maps. There is the starter house which is the main casual place to hand out. Spider city has grapplers to purchase where you can swing around like spiderman. They even have a rotating map of user submitted ones. When I was playing, it was a cool fortnight inspired battle map where the last Yeep standing was victory. There are also build maps specifically for players who just want to try and create towers and stuff to play in. These maps don’t have hide and seek turn on… it’s just for fun. That doesn’t get into the private worlds and community worlds that have other gameplay options such as battle and hangout. There truly is a ton for this game that came out only six months or so.
There are so many different maps in this game that It kind of caused an issue. See, there aren’t that many players playing the game so I would sometimes pop into the map being the only Yeep. There are nine or twelve Yeeps maximum per map so there was a lot of empty space. They should have fewer maps with more Yeeps to make the hide and seek gameplay truly worked.
That brings me to my next point… the players. The game is focused on the hide and seek aspect and there are many times where other players just weren’t playing the game. Either they were focused on creating their own build or talking to one another. This could be fixed by having an incentive to play the hide and seek game by having the winner get buttcoins. Of course, that might cut into the payment the developers are getting so I get there is a balance. When people were playing the game, it was a blast...
