Introduction

The concept of this mobile application comes from the famous simulation mobile game Travel Frog. It is a game that player owns a pet frog, which likes to travel. Players need to prepare items like food and water bottle for the frog. After the frog finishing a trip, the player may have a chance of getting a postcard and souvenir from the frog.

In our application Travel Cat, there is a cat that needs to be taken care of. The player can interact with the cat by tapping the screen, while random responses will be given by the cat. One of the special features of our game is that if the player went to a specific place and get the location code of that place, the game interface will change and the player can view a new styling of the cat. Also, our application provides information about that place, our some suggestions for travellers. Including introducing the history, some tips for photo taking, things traveller should pay attention when travelling and the suggestion of places travellers can go nearby.
