Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Tape to Tape is a roguelite hockey game released on Steam on October 23, 2026 at $17.99.
You take control of Angus McShaggy and lead your squad across a world filled with rival teams, strange characters and increasingly ridiculous challenges.
Between games you hire unique players, manage your benchwarmers, discover synergies between them and choose new abilities.
Bribing the referees and visiting the Blademaster for upgrades are both part of the loop.
How a run works
This is not a regular hockey season: lose and your run is over.
You then start again, take a different route and build a different team using your new unlocks.
The Training Center boosts your attributes, the No. 1 Fan unlocks a new player talent, and the Infirmary lets you sacrifice a player for the good of the team.
Squads reshape a run: the GM Squad hires Free Agents, the Violence Squad leans physical, the Retro Squad goes back to old-school hockey physics and the Slapshot Squad forgets the wrist shot entirely.
Rival teams bring their own players, abilities and occasionally absurd interpretations of the rules, including cheating referees, farting princesses and the most sinister opponents of all, the Golfers.
Co-op and multiplayer
The roguelite campaign plays solo or in local couch co-op.
The store page says co-op is where the campaign is at its best, with friends debating every power-up choice.
Play Now, Tournament and Shootout support up to 10 local players.
There is no native online multiplayer; the store page points remote play at Steam Remote Play Together or third-party services such as Parsec.
