The prop hunt genre continues to captivate gamers with its unique blend of hide-and-seek excitement, and the latest addition, Where's Potato?, is no exception. Developed by the emerging studio gamesbynav, this game is now available on Android and offers a fresh twist on the beloved format.
In Where's Potato?, players can take on the role of either the elusive potato or the determined seekers. The game's setting is a typical suburban home, where the potato must blend into the environment to avoid detection. However, the potato isn't entirely defenseless; by consuming hot chili peppers, it gains the power to burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers secures victory for the potato.
Visually, Where's Potato? may not set new standards, but as a solo project from a relatively new developer, it's a commendable effort. The game's straightforward 3D design serves its purpose well, though it might not be enough to distinguish it in the crowded prop hunt market.
Scouting for potatoesOne significant challenge for Where's Potato? is the genre's popularity primarily on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode in other games. Standing out as a standalone download could prove difficult, given this context.
Despite these challenges, Where's Potato? is a solid attempt at bringing a fun and engaging multiplayer experience to mobile devices. Creating a functional multiplayer game is no small feat, and gamesbynav's effort is noteworthy. I'll be keeping an eye on what this developer does next.
