The prop hunt genre has surged in popularity, captivating players with its unique blend of hide-and-seek and strategic gameplay. The latest addition to this genre, Where's Potato? by developer gamesbynav, is now available on Android, offering a fresh take on the classic concept.
In Where's Potato?, players can choose to embody the elusive potato or join the team of seekers tasked with uncovering its hiding spot within a typical suburban home. The potato isn't entirely defenseless; by consuming hot chili peppers, it can gain the ability to attack and burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers results in a victory for the potato.
While Where's Potato? may not boast the most visually stunning graphics, it's a commendable effort for a solo project from a relatively new developer. The game's straightforward 3D design focuses on delivering the core prop hunt experience.
However, Where's Potato? faces a significant challenge in standing out within the prop hunt genre. The genre's popularity is largely driven by social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode within other games. As a standalone download, Where's Potato? might struggle to capture the same level of attention.
Despite this, the successful creation of a functional multiplayer game is no small feat, and it showcases the potential of gamesbynav. As such, it's worth keeping an eye on this developer to see what innovative projects they might bring to the table in the future.
