Tape to Tape

Tape to Tape pulls hockey out of its standard sports-sim setting and drops it into a roguelite framework. You play as the newly appointed captain of a ragtag team on a journey to restore hockey to its former glory, hiring superstars, recruiting benchwarmers, discovering synergies between players, choosing new abilities, and (when necessary) bribing the referees with sweet maple syrup.

The combat layer is modern precision crossed with 90s-style fast-paced action — bone-crushing body checks, stellar saves, and a dynamic puck physics system that produces organic and emergent battles on the ice. Goaltenders react to deflections and rebounds, players physically check each other off the puck. There's no penalty for losing a tooth.

Progression spans the roguelite run-and-die structure. Losing isn't the end — between runs you visit the mighty Blademaster to permanently upgrade your hero for the battles ahead. Over 40 different teams each carry unique synergies and colorful players. Local couch and Steam Remote Play multiplayer supports up to 10 players in tournament, play-now, or shootout modes. The co-op campaign is a roguelite hockey experience unlike anything else in the sports-game genre.
