Lupin III: Gentle Thief

Overview

Hack of Mappy.

This is the second collaboration between Crying Onion and Protopixel. This time, the project is born from an idea of Protopixel, who is also in charge of the design of the title screen, sprites and objects. Crying Onion is in charge of the implementation and after discussing it with its partner, the project is divided into two versions in which everyone can give free rein to their creative freedom.

Mappy is a game co-developed and distributed by Namco, which was a huge hit in the arcades in 1983. A year later it was ported to the Nintendo Famicom. Its mechanics are inspired by the children’s game of cat and mouse (or cops and robbers): as the cute mouse-cop mentioned in the title, the player must recover valuable objects while dodging thieving cats. In some ways, being the thief and the enemies our pursuers makes more sense, so it’s the perfect basis for a hack starring the grandson of the most famous thief of all time.
