What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Tape to Tape has actively engaged with the community since the earliest days of development. We strongly believe in the Early Access model and the benefits of continual design feedback from our community. We aim to keep communication open to continue improving the game as we move toward a full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Tape to Tape will officially leave Early Access on October 23, 2026, with the launch of our full 1.0 version! After more than three years in Early Access, we've incorporated tons of community feedback to improve and expand the game. We're excited to finally bring you the complete experience!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full 1.0 version of Tape to Tape launches on October 23, 2026! This major update brings a completely revamped roguelite campaign, 19 playable squads, hundreds of new abilities and relics, an overhauled UI, additional localization options, and numerous quality-of-life improvements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and already offers a complete hockey roguelite experience, including a campaign, tournament mode, local multiplayer, dozens of teams, and player and team customization. With the full 1.0 release coming on October 23, 2026, players can look forward to a completely revamped campaign, new squads, hundreds of abilities, and many other improvements.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We have no plans to increase the price of Tape to Tape when it leaves Early Access on October 23, 2026. The full 1.0 release will bring plenty of new content, features, and improvements at no additional cost to existing players.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Player feedback is an integral part of our development process, and we greatly value every comment and suggestion we receive. Thanks to the support of our community, we've already made significant improvements throughout the Early Access journey. To provide your input and help us continue improving, we invite you to join our Discord server, where we are most active. Additionally, we will keep you updated on our progress and how your input is shaping the game through regular updates on both Steam and Discord.”

About This Game

              

Explore a gorgeous roguelite hockey world where every choice matters on your journey to restore hockey to its former glory. Hire unique players, manage your benchwarmers, discover synergies between them, choose new abilities, bribe the referees, visit the Blademaster for upgrades and a lot more.

CRAFT YOUR TEAM

Take charge of a ragtag group of hockey players in a roguelite journey across a mysterious land. As the newly appointed captain, every choice matters on your path to discover the secret of hockey's last bastion. Hire superstars, utilize the synergy found between players, and harness ruthless abilities, all in favor of crafting an unbeatable team.

LOSING IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

Easier said than done, as the ultimate dream team doesn’t appear out of thin air. Use losses as an opportunity to visit the mighty Blademaster in between runs and permanently upgrade your hero for the battles ahead. When the Center is still flubbing every single face-off, there’s no shame in lining the ref’s pockets with some sweet “maple syrup.”

DEEP AND REWARDING GAMEPLAY

Combining modern precision with fast-paced 90s-inspired action, Tape to Tape offers a unique experience in the form of a simcade hockey experience. Bone-crushing body checks and stellar saves will keep players shaking in their skates, but mastering the dynamic puck physics system will secure the victory. Players and goalies will react to the puck bouncing off sticks and ricocheting off faces creating organic and emergent battles on the ice. Thankfully, there is no penalty when a tooth is lost.

KEY FEATURES:

  • A deep Roguelite campaign featuring countless powerups, events, boss battles and unique players

  • Create and customize your teams and players with power-ups, artifacts, and personalized color options

  • Over 40 different teams, each with unique synergies and colorful players

  • Local, couch and Steam Remote Play multiplayer for up to 10 players 

  • Innovative goaltenders that react organically to any shot, deflected puck or rebound -goals never feel unfair

  • A unique co-op campaign delivering a roguelite experience like no other

  • Challenge your friends in Tournament, Play now or Shootout modes or play the Campaign cooperatively

  • A unique gorgeous blend of hand-drawn 2D sprites and animations in a 3D environment

LOCAL/STEAM REMOTE PLAY MULTIPLAYER

Note: Tape to Tape does not feature native online multiplayer. However, you can still play with friends remotely using Steam Remote Play Together or third-party services such as Parsec.

Experience the Roguelite Campaign at its best in co-op. Team up with friends to conquer the campaign, debate every power-up choice, and embrace the glorious chaos that makes each run unforgettable.

You can also jump into Play Now mode, where up to 10 players can face off locally. With a wide variety of teams, deep gameplay, and countless power-ups, every match feels chaotic, competitive, and endlessly replayable.
