The prop hunt genre has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, captivating players with the thrill of blending into the environment and outwitting opponents. The latest addition to this genre, "Where's Potato?" by developer gamesbynav, is now available on Android. This game adds a unique twist to the classic formula by allowing players to take on the role of either a potato or a seeker in a typical suburban setting.
In "Where's Potato?", the visual presentation might not be groundbreaking, but it effectively serves its purpose. As a potato, players must hide within the cluttered surroundings of a suburban home, evading the seekers. However, the potato isn't entirely at the mercy of its hunters; by consuming hot chili peppers, it gains the ability to attack and burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers secures a victory for the potato.
While "Where's Potato?" may not boast the most impressive graphics, it's a commendable solo project from a relatively new developer. However, standing out in the crowded prop hunt genre could be challenging. The genre's primary appeal lies within social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode in other games, making it difficult for a standalone app to gain significant traction.
Despite these challenges, "Where's Potato?" showcases the developer's potential. Creating a functional multiplayer game is no small feat, and gamesbynav's effort is noteworthy. As such, it's worth keeping an eye on this developer to see what innovative projects they might release next.
