The prop hunt genre has been gaining significant traction, captivating players with its unique blend of hide-and-seek gameplay. The latest addition to this genre, Where's Potato?, developed by gamesbynav, is now available on Android. In this game, players can either take on the role of a potato, hiding within a cluttered suburban home, or join the team of seekers trying to locate the elusive tuber.
Graphically, Where's Potato? might not break new ground, but it offers a straightforward 3D experience that serves its purpose well. The potato isn't just a passive hider; it can consume hot chili peppers to gain the ability to attack and burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers ensures victory for the potato.
While Where's Potato? is a commendable effort, especially considering it's a solo project from a relatively new developer, it faces challenges in standing out. The prop hunt genre thrives primarily on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode within other games. This makes it difficult for Where's Potato? to capture attention as a standalone download.
Despite these challenges, the game demonstrates the potential of gamesbynav. Creating a functional multiplayer game is no small feat, and it's an achievement that even some more experienced developers struggle with. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on future releases from this developer.
