The prop hunt genre has been capturing the hearts of gamers for quite some time, and the thrill of locating a cleverly disguised player amidst a cluttered environment remains as engaging as ever. The latest addition to this genre, Where's Potato?, developed by gamesbynav, is now available on Android. This game invites players to step into the shoes of either a potato trying to evade capture or a seeker on a mission to find it.
Visually, Where's Potato? might not set new standards in the world of 3D gaming. The setting is a typical suburban home where the potato player must hide while avoiding detection. But don't let the simple graphics fool you; the potato has a fiery trick up its sleeve. By consuming hot chili peppers, the potato can gain the power to attack and burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers secures a win for the potato.
While Where's Potato? may not boast groundbreaking design, it's an impressive achievement for a solo project from a relatively new developer. However, its potential to stand out in the crowded prop hunt genre could be limited. This genre thrives mainly on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode within other games, making it challenging for a standalone title like Where's Potato? to capture a significant audience.
Despite these challenges, the effort put into creating a functional multiplayer game is commendable, a task that even some more seasoned developers find daunting. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on gamesbynav to see what innovative projects they might release next.
