The prop hunt genre has been steadily gaining traction, captivating players with its unique blend of hide-and-seek and strategy. The latest addition to this genre, "Where's Potato?" by developer gamesbynav, is now available on Android, inviting players to engage in a fun-filled game of evasion and pursuit.
In "Where's Potato?", players can take on the role of either the potato or the seekers. The potato's objective is to hide within a typical suburban home, blending into the environment to avoid detection. However, the potato isn't entirely defenseless; by consuming hot chili peppers, it can gain the power to attack and burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers results in a win for the potato.
While "Where's Potato?" may not boast groundbreaking visuals, it's important to consider that it's a solo project from a relatively new developer. The game's straightforward 3D design serves its purpose well, though it might not be visually stunning. Despite this, "Where's Potato?" showcases a commendable effort, especially in delivering a functional multiplayer experience, which can be challenging even for more seasoned developers.
Scouting for potatoesOne of the main challenges "Where's Potato?" faces is standing out in a genre that thrives primarily on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode within other games. As a standalone mobile download, it might struggle to capture the same level of attention and engagement.
Nevertheless, "Where's Potato?" is a testament to gamesbynav's potential. The developer's ability to create an engaging multiplayer game as a solo project is noteworthy, and I'll be keeping an eye on their future endeavors.
