Where\'s Potato? offers a new entry in the prop hunt genre, out now on android

Where's Potato? is a fresh take on the increasingly popular prop hunt genre. Players either become the elusive potato, cleverly camouflaged within a cluttered environment, or one of the seekers tasked with finding it. The goal? For the potato, it's about evading capture; for the seekers, it's about uncovering the spud's hiding spot.

The prop hunt genre's enduring appeal lies in its simple yet captivating premise: the thrill of the hunt within a visually busy environment. Gamesbynav's Where's Potato? aims to capitalize on this trend, bringing its unique brand of potato-based hide-and-seek to Android devices.

Visually, Where's Potato? isn't groundbreaking. It's a straightforward 3D prop hunt set in a typical suburban home. The potato, however, isn't entirely helpless. By consuming chili peppers, it gains the ability to attack and burn seekers. Eliminate three, and victory is the potato's!

While not revolutionary in design, Where's Potato? is a commendable effort, especially considering it's a solo project from a relatively new developer. However, its potential for widespread appeal might be limited.

The Potato's Predicament

The prop hunt genre thrives on social platforms like Minecraft or as a game mode within larger titles. Where's Potato? faces the challenge of standing out as a standalone download.

Despite this, the game's successful implementation of functional multiplayer is a significant achievement, a hurdle many seasoned developers struggle to overcome. Gamesbynav's work warrants attention, and we look forward to their future projects.
