The prop hunt genre has been gaining traction, captivating players with its unique blend of hide-and-seek and disguise elements. The latest addition to this genre is Where's Potato?, a new game developed by gamesbynav, now available on Android. In this game, players can take on the role of either the potato, hiding from seekers within a typical suburban home, or one of the seekers tasked with finding the elusive tuber.
Visually, Where's Potato? adopts a straightforward 3D style, which, while not groundbreaking, serves its purpose well for a solo project from a relatively new developer. The game introduces an intriguing twist: the potato can consume hot chili peppers to gain the ability to burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers leads to a victory for the potato.
Despite its charm, Where's Potato? faces challenges in standing out within the crowded prop hunt genre. The genre's popularity is largely driven by social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode within other games. As a standalone download, Where's Potato? might struggle to capture the same level of attention and engagement.
Nevertheless, the game deserves recognition for its solid execution, especially considering it's a multiplayer release from a solo developer. This is no small feat, as even more experienced developers can struggle with multiplayer functionality. I'll be keeping an eye on gamesbynav to see what innovative projects they might bring to the table next.
