Plan your next Tape to Tape session
Our independent guide helps you dig deeper into Tape to Tape’s layered systems without promising hidden bonuses. By observing how each documented element interacts, you can craft runs that feel fresh and strategically satisfying, whether you’re solo, on the couch, or connecting remotely.
01 / THE GUIDE
Analyzing Squad Choices
Compare the strategic impact of each Squad by noting which player abilities become available and how they alter on‑ice tactics. Record which Squad feels most natural for your playstyle.
- Experiment with different unlocks after each run to discover unexpected synergies.
- Take note of which events grant the most useful upgrades for future attempts.
02 / THE GUIDE
Mapping Opponent Strategies
During a run, write down each opponent’s unique rule twist. Identify patterns—such as aggressive referees or unconventional shot types—and plan counters before the next encounter.
- Try the Violence Squad if you enjoy aggressive, hit‑heavy matches.
- Switch to the Retro Squad to experience classic physics and a different pacing.
03 / THE GUIDE
Optimizing Persistent Unlocks
Track which unlocks you acquire after each loss. Prioritize those that open new Squads or abilities, then test them in a fresh run to gauge their real‑world impact.
- Observe the Golfers’ playstyle early to plan defensive positioning.
- Use the training center to boost attributes that directly counter a specific opponent’s strength.
04 / THE GUIDE
Coordinating Local Co‑op
When playing couch co‑op, discuss power‑up selections with your partner ahead of time. Align your Squad choices so both players can cover complementary strengths.
- Coordinate power‑up choices with your co‑op partner for balanced team composition.
- In Play Now, assign each player a role that matches their preferred Squad strengths.

Testing Remote Play Settings
Run a short remote session using Steam Remote Play Together. Adjust video quality and input latency settings, then note any differences in control responsiveness for later full runs.
- Test your connection with a short Remote Play session before a full campaign run.
- Keep the host’s system performance in mind, as arcade hockey relies on responsive controls.
