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 choose a side: become the elusive potato, cleverly blending into the environment, or join the seekers, hunting down the spud. The goal? As the potato, evade capture; as a seeker, burn the potato three times to win.

The prop hunt genre's enduring appeal lies in its simple yet captivating premise: spotting a cleverly disguised player amidst a cluttered scene. Gamesbynav's Where's Potato?, now available on Android, aims to capitalize on this trend.

Visually, Where's Potato? isn't groundbreaking. This straightforward 3D game sets the action in a typical suburban home, with the potato evading seekers. However, the potato isn't entirely helpless; by consuming chili peppers, it gains the ability to burn seekers—three successful burns secure victory.

While not revolutionary, Where's Potato? is a commendable solo project from a relatively new developer. However, its success 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?'s challenge lies in standing out as a standalone download.

Despite this, it's a respectable achievement, especially considering the complexities of creating a functional multiplayer game—a hurdle even seasoned developers face. We'll be watching gamesbynav's future projects with interest.
