Where\'s Potato? offers a new entry in the prop hunt genre, out now on android

The prop hunt genre has been gaining significant traction lately, captivating players with its unique blend of hide-and-seek and strategy. The thrill of spotting someone cleverly disguised as an inanimate object within a cluttered environment has proven to be irresistibly engaging. Enter "Where's Potato?"—a fresh take on this genre developed by gamesbynav, now available on Android.

Visually, "Where's Potato?" may not set new standards in the gaming world. It's a straightforward 3D prop hunt game set in a typical suburban home, where one player assumes the role of the potato, tasked with evading a team of seekers. However, the potato isn't entirely helpless; by consuming hot chili peppers, it gains the power to attack and burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers secures a win for the potato.

While "Where's Potato?" may not boast groundbreaking graphics, it's a commendable effort, especially considering it's a solo project from a relatively new developer. Yet, it faces challenges in standing out in the crowded prop hunt market. The genre thrives primarily on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode within other games, making it tough for "Where's Potato?" to shine as a standalone download.

Despite these challenges, "Where's Potato?" is a testament to the developer's skill, particularly in creating a functional multiplayer game—a feat that even seasoned developers sometimes struggle with. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on gamesbynav to see what innovative projects they bring to the table next.
