- Experiment with different unlocks after each run to discover unexpected synergies.
- Take note of which events grant the most useful upgrades for future attempts.

The game features distinct Squads—GM, Violence, Retro, and Slapshot—each imposing a unique twist on hockey mechanics, from managerial choices to pure physicality. Choosing a Squad determines the roster options and strategic focus for that run, encouraging players to adapt their hiring and on‑ice tactics.
- Try the Violence Squad if you enjoy aggressive, hit‑heavy matches.
- Switch to the Retro Squad to experience classic physics and a different pacing.

Opponent Variety and Unique Rules
Rival teams range from cheating referees and fart‑ing princesses to the bizarre Golfers, each applying absurd rule interpretations. Learning each opponent’s special abilities and strategies is essential, as counter‑play can mean the difference between surviving a run or ending it.

- Use the training center to boost attributes that directly counter a specific opponent’s strength.

Remote Play and Platform Features
While the game lacks native online multiplayer, it works with Steam Remote Play Together and third‑party services like Parsec to enable remote sessions. All modes, including the co‑op campaign, can be accessed remotely, preserving the same chaotic gameplay without requiring separate online infrastructure.
- 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.
