STAFF NOTICE: This entry contains material that is best suited for mature audiences, including blood and violence. Play at your discretion.

GameTap, Cup Noodles, and Bitter Tears is a follow up to 2019’s GameTap Pro Gamer 6. Based off of Knuckles’ Chaotix, this hack features RPG elements, nods to early 2010’s creepypasta culture, and a loose retelling of Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck's life story leading up to this hack. We promise that this hack will deliver a rock solid experience like you’ve never seen on the 32X before.

This truely is a masterpiece.

diablo666 @ 2024-09-28 06:45:37

Interesting hack. I don't see anythingIt's a pretty good hack. I've never seen anyone like this Participant before

What do you mean?

diablo666 @ 2024-09-29 09:01:11

I wanted to say that "the hack is good and interesting. I haven't seen anything like this for a long time on 32x," but the translator probably gives out the wrong words

Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck @ 2024-09-29 14:06:28

Oh, okay, I see. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

dilworks @ 2024-09-28 09:35:18

I always appreciate a new hack for the Mushroom o' Doom, and there are certainly original ideas on this thing (including the RPG segments, which are a novel idea for a ROM hack)

...but after getting lost forever in the maze, I lost all my will to continue.

Good contender for the Polygon jim trophy at least.

Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck @ 2024-09-28 10:54:02

Hint: The decor in the maze tells you the direction to go.

Selbi @ 2024-09-28 13:46:36

Can't believe I'm saying this but... I think there IS such a thing being too random. There are some cool ideas in here and the writing is mostly solid, but it almost feels like a joke that doesn't know when to finally arrive at the punchline. And personally, I wasn't a fan of the RPG maze at all.

Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck @ 2024-09-28 13:59:10

Yeah, I have received a lot of complaints about the maze. I didn't have the time to polish it up the way I wanted it. Oh well, regardless, thank you for giving it a shot.

Selbi @ 2024-09-28 14:06:36

For what it's worth, I love the foundation here! I just wish it took itself a tad more seriously :P

Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck @ 2024-09-28 14:09:13

Thank you for your kind words. I guess my method of storytelling isn't for everyone.

CarlosEduIagnecz @ 2024-09-28 14:09:57

This romhack is insane

however it did cross the line a bit with the gruesome parts

too much monster card 7/10

"I'm Hilariously.... Humpy!" Said Humpy Harold. ( He Forgot To Say His CatchPhrase "I'm Hilariously... Hurt!"

Humpy Harold Would Be In A Dream Like State. He would would then shove his face into his Couther's Opium Garden.

Humpy Harold would then say "THIS IS THE OPIUM OLYMPICS!!!!!!!!!!". He would then spread the plentiful opium all over his legs. He would then put the opium into a needle, and fill his legs to the brim with said heroin. ( Think of the image of squidward with fat tentacles. ).

The Doctor Is Injecting Powerful Rat hairs into the red craters in his face

It then cuts to a TV screen showing "SUPER OPIUM BROS"

In the game His couther is planting opium

Humpy Harold has a Psychic Vision. He is super dumb and gay now so he confuses it for "Heroin"

talkwalker @ 2024-10-03 19:48:16

(6/?)

Humpy Harold Says "I AM NOW HEROIN HAROLD"

Humpy Harold then injects the rat hairs, because he is Fugly Rugly and Stupid and thought it was heroin. He then injects it into his hip

"Oh no! The bone in my hip is falling like a Rocket Ship." He then has to get his hip bone removed for using Rat Hairs.

talkwalker @ 2024-10-03 19:48:46

KGL: Well. I Am KGL. I have come from the Universe Where Beavis And Butthead is Actually Called Beavis And Butthole. I Judge Your Train Of Thought.... *Suspenseful music plays* UNJUDGED.

Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck @ 2024-09-28 17:11:12

Yes, I am aware of the difficulty of the maze. I didn't have enough time to polish it the way I wanted to, so I am sorry about that. I may make a post-contest release to address this, but for now, here are some tips:

[list]

[*]You cannot get caught in corners, you can use this to get out of dead ends.

[*]The decor is placed in a way to subtlely point you in the right direction.

[*]Keeping one guy on screen will prevent them from teleporting off screen.

[/list]

LuigiXHero @ 2024-09-28 18:53:10

I want to put this hack in my mouth

Big Mike @ 2024-09-28 20:44:20

This is hands down one of the creepiest & most unsettling Sonic rom hacks I have ever played, probably the most. It is chuck full of references from 90's & early 00's culture, classic creepypastas, & more, which I found to be a nice touch. I also enjoyed the mixture of RPG & platforming elements. I was not a fan of the maze, but I think it has potential, like maybe throw in like a check point or something. Overall ,I found this not only to be quite unsettling, but also both awesome & innovative.

Big Mike @ 2024-09-28 20:44:40

I never would have guessed this was built on Knuckles Chaotix. I look forward to spending more time with it, after the contest week.

MDTravis @ 2024-09-28 21:11:14

Truly a work of art.

diablo666 @ 2024-09-29 09:58:07

It was not easy to find all the endings. But I did it. You have unique bosses that I haven't seen. It was nice to go over it many times (on the 7th lap I found the final fourth "good" ending)

Jdpense @ 2024-09-29 13:12:07

If there was an entry that would do a complete trophy sweep, I pray that it will be this one!~

Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck @ 2024-09-29 14:05:52

I am honored that you think that... Thank you...

WillianAlgumaCoisa @ 2024-09-29 13:49:20

This hack is very good to be in a 32x, feels like a entire fangame for PC instead of being in a Console, the Maze was very complicated but it is nothing for me. Noice

Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck @ 2024-09-29 14:06:06

Thank you for playing and enjoying it!

PenTick @ 2024-10-01 19:07:19

Don't care if it's too random, don't even care if it's weird.

10/10, I think you know about the maze lol.

Hope you win a good trophy, and wish you luck on future stuff :)

JadenModz69 @ 2024-10-02 12:51:55

Most epic rom hack ever

Roebloz @ 2024-10-04 14:59:13

Three words: WTF!!! If this doesn't win the Polygon Jim award, we've failed as a society.

My playthrough (Couldn't get past the maze unfortunately): https://youtu.be/tiR6_pMxcGo

Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck @ 2024-10-04 22:21:52

Sergeant16bit @ 2024-10-12 01:25:58

Quite the technically impressive hack you got here. Glad I whipped out my 32X to try it on my flash cart.

Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck @ 2024-10-13 15:34:49

Okay, so spoiler alert, Ollie is just a character. But, we, _HaHaHyena, JunkDrives0, and Devon would like to thank the contest for the trophies, and everyone who has played GameTap 32X, whether you enjoyed it or not. It means a lot that you lot gave it a chance, and we enjoyed the reception it got.

This is pretty much the end of the Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck journey. However, it's not the end for the three of us, so stay tuned...

Ollie_Ollie_TechDeck @ 2024-10-13 15:38:39

Oh, and of course, congratulations to all the other trophy winners. This was a fun contest with plenty of good stuff to play, and we were glad to take part in it.
