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](http://www.echo3d.co\) makes it easy to do this by simply using an API key
and updating in 1 place. Assets are stored on the [echo3D](http://www.echo3d.co\) cloud and called at runtime so you can focus on other things. Like looking for mole hills.
