The prop hunt genre continues to captivate gamers, and the latest addition to this category is Where's Potato? by developer gamesbynav, now available on Android. In this game, players can take on the role of either a potato hiding in a cluttered suburban home or a seeker tasked with finding it. The twist? The potato isn't just hiding; it can eat hot chili peppers to gain the power to burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers secures a win for the potato.
Visually, Where's Potato? may not break new ground, but for a solo project from a relatively new developer, it's a commendable effort. The game's straightforward 3D design serves its purpose, immersing players in the fun of prop hunting.
However, standing out in the prop hunt genre can be challenging. The genre thrives primarily on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode within other games. As a standalone download, Where's Potato? might struggle to capture a broad audience.
Despite this, the successful launch of a functional multiplayer game is no small feat, and it showcases gamesbynav's potential. I'll be keeping an eye on what this developer comes up with next.
