The prop hunt genre has surged in popularity recently, captivating players with its unique blend of hide-and-seek dynamics within cluttered environments. The latest addition to this genre, *Where's Potato?*, developed by gamesbynav, is now available on Android and offers a fresh twist on the classic formula.
In *Where's Potato?*, players can take on the role of either the potato or the seekers. The objective is simple yet challenging: if you're the potato, you must hide and avoid detection in a typical suburban home setting. However, the potato isn't entirely helpless. By consuming hot chili peppers, it gains the ability to attack and burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers results in a win for the potato. On the other hand, seekers must locate and capture the potato before it can evade them long enough or eliminate them with its fiery abilities.
Visually, *Where's Potato?* may not set new standards in the gaming world, but it's a commendable effort for a solo project from a relatively new developer. The game's straightforward 3D design serves its purpose well, focusing on the gameplay rather than high-end graphics.
Despite its merits, *Where's Potato?* faces challenges in standing out in the crowded prop hunt genre. The genre thrives primarily on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode in other games. It remains to be seen whether *Where's Potato?* can carve out its niche as a standalone download.
Nevertheless, *Where's Potato?* is a testament to gamesbynav's potential. Creating a functional multiplayer game is no small feat, and this release showcases the developer's capability. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on future projects from gamesbynav.
