FOCUSED MONSTERS
It was my first publication on Google Play. This game (app) was a major milestone in my journey as a developer. With this project I became familiar with the entire publishing and monetization process through in-game advertising.
Overview
This is a game to help you focus on your daily tasks and maintain a routine that's more free from the distractions of your phone. In this game you choose how long to train a monster and must leave your phone aside during the chosen time. Using your phone for anything during the training time will result in your monster losing experience points, and you will lose coins and crystals (which are items used to unlock new monsters).
