While we are working hard on the next patch, we figured that we should host a speedrun tournament for the duration of the month of February!
For a quick update regarding the game, scroll down to "In other news"
If you have not seen a Tape to Tape speedrun before, here's one of our speedrunners that ran live at Awesome Games Done Quick 2024!
Starting Today, February 1st until February 29th, we invite you to participate in the seeded speedrun challenge!
What's a seeded run?
A seeded run means that we have a pre-set path offering you the best possible RNG in order to beat the game as fast as possible (more information on the path below)!
Rules & Info
- The runs must be played on the Speedrun Branch (guide below)
- Submissions must be recorded entirely in a single-segment video, which will be reviewed by the board before being published on the leaderboards.
- For all runs, the video must include pressing "Start" on the campaign menu and showing the difficulty. (See prize pool below to see prizes per difficulty)
- The timer starts when clicking "Start" within the campaign menu and ends once "Win" is shown on the screen after beating the Golfers.
- Runs must be submitted on our speedrun.com page
- We strongly encourage runners to join our Discord and advertise in our media section if they would like to promote their stream for run attempts. We will, for sure, come hang out on the stream to watch!

In Other News
While we do not have any spoilers to share at this time, we would like to welcome to our community, many of you who grabbed the game during our Weekend Sale! We really appreciate the wave of feedback and suggestions that our new members have brought to the table. Know that many of those are already being discussed to be added to the game, if not coming soon in a future patch!
As mentioned previously, our main focus will shift towards reworking the campaign entirely. Once we have a satisfying foundation to showcase, we will certainly make a news post about it!
If you are interested in thoroughly testing the new campaign rework on a regular basis, make sure to join our Discord and get your Early Access Tester Role! We will need all the feedback possible!
Wishing you all the best of luck in our first Tape To Tape Community Event!
