I got all four endings. I had a great time from the moment I started playing. As a Lupin III fan myself, I loved the way you crafted such a love story that stays true to the core traits of the characters. I could totally buy every single thought and word expressed by Lupin and Zenigata.
(SPOILERS FROM HERE cause I dunno how else to mark spoilers in an itch.io comment)
Also, I was laughing so hard at the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney cameo in one of the endings. xD
Thank you! We wanted it to feel like Part 2, if Part 2 was as casually welcoming of gay vibes as straight vibes. Loud and funny, pretty thirsty but in a cheesy way, with a little sweetness where it matters, just like Lupin. :D
(Also the Ace Attorney sprites are PINNACLE visual novel sprite designs, I got lost rewatching old trials while working on this game. Man, I gotta replay those sometime.)
I played the demo and fell in love... despite never having watched/read any Lupin III yet (shameful, I know!). The art is SO beautiful and the demo had me cracking a smile almost immediately. I am very much looking forward to playing the full game, hopefully soon. :)
This game was actually my top feature in my NaNoRenO 2021 Spotlight, if you'd like to check it out. (Feel free to share it as well! :) )
Whoa, thank you very much! And your list sounds like a good place to start; I'm really happy that I finally get to sit back and play everyone else's NaNo games now! I learn so much every year, and there are a few moments in Flirting that were directly inspired by wanting to try out certain tricks I saw in other games.
And if you liked the game, and you want to check out Lupin, then I encourage you to start with the dub of Part 2! TMS has uploaded a few episodes onto Youtube, and there are some compilations of jokes out of context that are pretty funny and can communicate the show's vibe VERY well.
Ok dude i played the demo and i dont think i've laughed that hard at something in a LONG time!! I can't wait to play the full version--downloading as i type--but the art and story so far are hilariously fantastic!!! I can't express how excited i am for this lol!!
Thank you! We wanted to make something that was just plain fun, so hearing that it made you laugh hard means we got it right! ^U^ I hope you have a great time with the full game!
Thank you! I went through a whole sketchbook in one month prepping and drawing them! XD Honestly, it was very liberating having to work fast, and not being able to be a perfectionist about them. I got a lot of good practice!
oh man, this is so good !!! made an account on itch.io just so i could post a comment tbh.
i live for how it's written (lupin and zenigata are so in-character!) and the art is wonderful. very sweet, funny, & the title is honestly so great lol
There are a lot of really marvelous games on itchio; so if you're looking to get into more independent stuff, you've come to the right place! And also, thank you! The title was just a placeholder I gave the file when we started working, but Tsushi liked it so much, we kept it. XD We'll be releasing the full game tomorrow, and I hope that it meets expectations!
Me too! XD One of the fun things about game jams is that it really won't be done until the day we post it, so I can't wait to see how it turns out, either. XD
Thank you! Doing this much art in a month is a pretty wild crash course on handling watercolors. It's not my first rodeo with them, but when you're putting out a piece every day or so, there's less time to forget what you've learned.
And I can't wait to share the rest of the game! Tsushi's writing has had me laughing a lot lately.
Thank you! I wanted to try to make a fangame that both Lupin fans and people who were new to the franchise could both enjoy! And since Tsushi and I are cowriting it, I get to enjoy reading their bits too!
Tsushi wrote a short fic about a cuffed Lupin on a train and my brain did the thing it does.
I hear that most artists work on fanart in order to get attention on their original work. But I sure hope all the Exit fans come out to meet Lupin, they'll like him a LOT.

Perfect, thanks for the recommendation! Enjoy the break; you definitely deserve it. :)

I was really hoping for an android version, but I understand if it takes longer to develop
The paintings in this game are incredible! It looks like a lot of work went into them, they're beautiful!!

This game is so beautiful! I'm so exited for when it comes out <3
Awww, thank you! I'm scanning the last of the watercolors now!
I'm so excited to play this with my friends on discord. Thank you so much for making this game and i hope you're doing great!
Oooooh, I hope you have fun! Talking with friends on twitter about Lupin has been one of the good things about the past year, for me. ^u^
We did it yesterday and we LOVED it. We plan on playing more and getting the other endings soon.
Ah wonderful! I'm so happy we were able to give you something fun to do! ^u^
im so excited to play the rest!!
Thank you! I've been working on watercolors all day, and it's really nice to hear the encouragement! ^o^
omg i love this so much, looking forward to the full release
Thank you! I’m working on ending CGs right now! :3
Made a video
Aw, thanks for playing! It was nice to see Lupin fans reacting.
It was fun to play the demo and looking forward to the full game so we can really start flirting with Pops.
! ! ! I'm so excited to play this ! ! !
Me too! XD One of the fun things about game jams is that it really won't be done until the day we post it, so I can't wait to see how it turns out, either. XD
wow it's gorgeous to have it hand drawn :o
Thank you! I didn't get to do as many watercolors last year as usual, so it's been really nice to get to just go wild with them this month. ^u^
love the art style as well as the writing! i'm really excited to seeing how this progresses :>

really looking forward to this! love the art and characters :D
Thank you! We’re really hoping to do them justice!
Upon seeing the cute art and readin' them goofy words, I started smiling and couldn't stop. Can't wait to see where it goes.
Hehehe, that's just what we were going for! I hope that the full game can give everyone something to smile about.
I absolutely love it! The music, the art, the dialogue, the overall mood... I cannot Wait to see how it progresses ))))
Thank you! I wanted to try to make a fangame that both Lupin fans and people who were new to the franchise could both enjoy! And since Tsushi and I are cowriting it, I get to enjoy reading their bits too!
Oh, so this is what you meant by a SFW Off-the-Cuffs-esque game lol. I can't say I am not surprised, but I also can't say I am not very intrigued!
Tsushi wrote a short fic about a cuffed Lupin on a train and my brain did the thing it does.

Thank you
Hahahaha! Oh man no, thank you.
