Tape to Tape
A roguelite hockey game where every run rebuilds your squad. Hire unique players, stack synergies and abilities, bribe the refs, and restore hockey's glory — solo or in local couch co-op.
What is Tape to Tape?
Tape to Tape is a roguelite hockey game by Excellent Rectangle (Quebec City, Canada). Lead Angus McShaggy across a colorful campaign, hire free agents, unlock squads and relics, and face rival teams that refuse to play by ordinary rules — including cheating refs and the dreaded Golfers.
Lose a run and start again with new unlocks. Play the full campaign solo or in local couch co-op, or challenge friends in Play Now, Tournament and Shootout. Native online multiplayer is not supported; remote play uses Steam Remote Play Together or similar tools.
