The prop hunt genre continues to captivate gamers, and the latest addition to this fun-filled category is Where's Potato? by developer gamesbynav, now available on Android. The premise is simple yet engaging: players take on the role of either a potato, hiding within a cluttered suburban home, or one of the seekers tasked with finding it.
In Where's Potato?, the potato isn't just a passive object; it has a spicy trick up its sleeve. By consuming hot chili peppers, the potato gains the ability to burn seekers, and if it can take down three of them, the potato emerges victorious. While the game's visuals may not set the world on fire, it's a commendable effort, especially considering it's a solo project from a relatively new developer.
However, Where's Potato? faces a significant challenge in standing out. The prop hunt genre thrives primarily on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode in other games. As a standalone download, it might struggle to capture a wide audience. Despite this, the game's functional multiplayer aspect is a notable achievement, even for more experienced developers.
While Where's Potato? may not be the standout hit in the prop hunt genre, it's a respectable effort from gamesbynav. I'll be keeping an eye on this developer to see what innovative projects they might release in the future.
