About this game
A Floaty Desktop Game
Inspired by games like Rusty's Retirement, Ropuka's Idle Island and sharing the love for retro VHS - just like Retro Rewind you can now live the life of a VHS rental shop owner in the good old days. Start with a dusty, boxed-off space and turn it into a flourishing, cozy VHS rental store, all styled to your heart’s content.
Style and Decorate
Customize your shop owner, expand your shop, style it and decorate it however you like. Comfort brings customers, and customers bring in money.
Give your store a theme, heck even multiple themes and style it with props that are fitting. Choose from posters, props, lighting and many more.
Take It Slow and Give It Life
Bring Tiny Tape Store to life by expanding your shop and playing mini-games to help your shop owner. Make it truly yours. Take a seat, make a cup of coffee, and watch it come alive while you go about your everyday computer life.

There are a few optional minigames like;
Unlocking your safe to store the days earnings
Rewinding tapes
Re-stocking shelves

It's yours now
8 Months of solo indie devI'd like to start by saying thank you for the support and interest in the game, it's been a busy 8 months building Tiny Tape Store part-time. I wanted to do something outside of my comfort zone, I've never done pixel art games before and really wanted to explore the style. I've also never done a simulator/idle/store type game but really wanted to get my feet wet. In the same motion, I've grown to love idler games like Rusty's Retirement and Ropuka's Idle Island and thought it would be a great combination with my love for retro VHS. It's been an awesome journey so far and I've fallen in love with the simplicity of pixel-art, take it lightly, it's definitely not simple, but it's been humbling to draw and animate art at 16x16 pixels.The idea for Tiny Tape Store came from past experiences going to "video stores" with my family/friends and renting out movies for a weekend. I truly miss that feeling and wanted to capture this memory in a game so that I will never forget it.What happens now?I'm sure there will be bugs creeping out of nowhere, that will be my main priority for the coming weeks. I'll focus my energy towards fixing issues and then there will be another free content update which will include a bunch of new shop decorations. If there's a decoration you'd like to see in the game, post them here so I can hopefully bring them into the game. Thank you again, I appreciate all the support!SlakkedisRead full article on Community Announcements (Slakkedis)
