Yeah, that heat really makes it hard to get off. First scrape with a flat razor blade. Then get some pure acetone, put it on a rag and wipe the sticky off.
Normally, painter's tape should just peel off gently. Was it a major brand name, or a no-name/$ store product? Generally it is removed as soon as the paint is dry to touch , but it sounds like it may have been left on the glass far too long to expect it to behave normally.
I would suggest saturating it with a sponge, then try to scrape it off. To remove any 'stickiness' that may remain on the glass, use something non-scratch such as cotton balls, dabbed in vegetable oil.

Are you speaking of the blue painter's tape, green frog? Need a little bit more info. Thanks!
What kind of tape did you use?
Blow dryer.
A hair dryer will soften the tape adhesive to make it easier to peel.
Next time, pull it off while the paint's still damp.
