Imagine ‘NHL 94 meets Hades’ and you have a vague sense.

It’s an interesting idea and quite a silly game, with a daft tone and some cheery ultraviolence.

So, it’s ice hockey.

Two teams face off in a Tape To Tape screenshot.

Tape To Tape matches play a lot like ye olde ice hockey games of yore, sweet and simple.

Then it gets a little more complicated when you smoosh in the roguelikelike elements.

Along a run, you find items, upgrades, and abilities to power up your team.

Some violently cheat the rules of hockey.

Many violently cheat the rules of hockey.

And your opponents might break the rules right back at you.

Across runs, you unlock new stuff for future runs and such.

You know, roguelikelike things.

Tape To Tape is now available in early accesson Steamfor Windows.

A 10% launch discount brings it down to 15.07/17.55/17.99 until Wednesday the 10th.

It’s made by Excellent Rectangle and published by Null Games.

I think I’ll wait for the full launch.

But I’m certainly curious how it might shape up over the coming months.
