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

The prop hunt genre has been gaining significant traction lately, captivating players with its unique blend of hide-and-seek and strategy. The thrill of spotting someone disguised as an everyday object in a cluttered environment has proven to be irresistibly engaging. The latest addition to this genre, "Where's Potato?" by developer gamesbynav, is now available on Android, aiming to ride this wave of popularity.

In "Where's Potato?", players can take on the role of either the potato or the seekers. The game is set in a typical suburban home, where the potato must cleverly hide to avoid detection. However, the potato isn't entirely helpless; by consuming hot chili peppers, it gains the ability to attack and burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers secures a win for the potato.

Visually, "Where's Potato?" may not be groundbreaking, but it's a commendable effort for a solo project from a relatively new developer. The game's straightforward 3D design serves its purpose well, though it might struggle to stand out in the crowded prop hunt genre. One of the main challenges for "Where's Potato?" is that prop hunt games are most popular on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode within other games. As a standalone download, it might not capture the same level of attention.

Despite this, "Where's Potato?" is a respectable effort, especially considering the complexities of creating a functional multiplayer game. This achievement is noteworthy, as even more experienced developers sometimes struggle with multiplayer releases. I'll be keeping an eye on gamesbynav to see what innovative projects they bring to the table next.
