Tape to Tape

I'm not even a loyal follower of Ice Hockey, but this game is hella fun. Initially learnt about the game from LinusTechTips always talking about it, so I slapped this on my wishlist, finally got it, played it with a lot of my friends, and its addicting as hell. There were some bugs I experienced during steam remote play, where the screen will freeze, or whoever is suppose to control will bug out in the menu or during in-game and the controls don't work, so a force restart is needed. But other than that, gameplay or performance, this game is amazing and entertaining. Really love the Roguelite compaign as well, and how it is also co-op supported. To think this game will get more updates since it is still in Early Access is pretty exciting, if you like ice hockey, or coopable sports games, this one is a great choice.

Linus was not lying, this game is fantastic

Tape to Tape is a refreshingly bold and stylized take on ice hockey that brings arcade energy and roguelite progression to a sport rarely explored in the indie gaming space. Developed by Excellent Rectangle, this title strikes a clever balance between fast-paced, skill-driven gameplay and tongue-in-cheek charm, offering a sports experience that feels both nostalgic and inventive. At its core, Tape to Tape is not just about scoring goals—it’s about building a team, overcoming unpredictable challenges, and mastering a fluid, physics-based system that rewards precision and adaptation. Whether you're a die-hard hockey fan or someone drawn in by the unique aesthetic and mechanics, the game makes a strong case for itself. The most striking aspect of Tape to Tape is its roguelite structure. Unlike traditional sports titles that focus on full-season simulations or career modes, this game drops players into a randomized campaign where each run is a new journey. You start with a modest team...

The game is great until I noticed that a huge number of my runs ended exactly the same way. CPU player gets knocked down in my zone, stays down, then receives a pass after getting up and is now all alone in my zone. nothing I can do. run over. if this one thing changes I would love it.

That rare cross over between the WAN show and Letterkenny. Absolute Beauty. Big thanks to Luke and Linus for the recommendation!

Hockey game done right. For the first time in... decades? Plenty fun, easy to learn, not so hard to master, but, you know, it's deep enough to entertain you. Maybe with future updates devs will bring replayability on another level, let's hope they'll deliver.

Who needs NHL on PC when you have this! Worth every dollar and super addicting! Highly recommend to anyone!

Incredible fast-paced hockey action. Would recommend to everyone hockey- and non-hockey-enjoyer alike.

Easy to play and really fun. Easily worth the price.
