Game Concept
Short Version: A 2-D top-down heist simulator with mini-games in which you assemble a crew attempting to steal valuable items.
Long Version: Players play as 4 characters with randomly generated stats and the goal of the game is to rob all of the places that have money and valuables. Some of the places may have hacking computers or lockpicking to open doors. Some levels even have patrolling cops. As soon as players do one of the actions, cops are on the move to hunt you down. Once all the money/valuables are collected, players are to exit by car where they try to dodge traffic to get away from cops.
