The prop hunt genre has been captivating gamers for a while now, and the thrill of spotting someone cleverly disguised as part of the environment in a cluttered level remains as engaging as ever. The newest addition to this genre, Where's Potato?, developed by gamesbynav, aims to tap into this excitement and is now available on Android.
Visually, Where's Potato? may not dazzle, but it offers a straightforward 3D prop hunt experience. In this game, players can take on the role of a potato, tasked with evading a team of seekers within a typical suburban home setting. The potato, however, isn't entirely helpless; it can consume hot chili peppers to gain the power to attack and burn the seekers. Successfully burning three seekers secures a win for the potato.
While Where's Potato? may not boast groundbreaking design, it's a commendable effort, especially considering it's a solo project from a relatively new developer. However, it faces a significant challenge in standing out within the prop hunt genre, which thrives primarily on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode in other games. It's questionable whether Where's Potato? can establish itself as a standalone downloadable title.
Despite these challenges, Where's Potato? demonstrates that gamesbynav is capable of creating a functional multiplayer game, a feat that even some more seasoned developers find challenging. This makes gamesbynav a developer worth watching for future projects.
