Make a Whack a Mole Game in Unity (Free Tutorial)
Whether you’re whacking moles in real life or need to change out assets for projects deployed on multiple platforms, echo3D makes it easy to do this by simply using an API key and updating in 1 place. Assets are stored on the echo3D cloud and called at runtime so you can focus on other things. Like looking for mole hills.
