City Traversal
Team Achoo Members
Synopsis
In this game, the player plays as a crane operator, contracted to move a statue from one end of the city to another. To maximize their payout, the player must minimize the damage they do to the city while safely delivering the statue to its destination. This job will not be easy as everything in this city is fragile and expensive; anything from birds, cars, and buildings will become obstacles between the player and payday.

Initial Game Idea
After meeting and discussing, we initially decided on this multiplayer cooking simulator game idea. However, after much deliberation (time and ability constraints), we decided to scrap it and make City Traversal instead! On the right are some brainstorms we did for it.
