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

Where's Potato? is a fresh take on the increasingly popular prop hunt genre. Players choose a side: become the elusive potato, cleverly blending into the environment, or join the seekers, hunting down the spud. The goal? For potatoes, evade capture; for seekers, burn the potato three times to win.

The prop hunt formula, simple yet captivating—locating hidden players disguised as scenery—has endured since its inception. Gamesbynav's Where's Potato? aims to capitalize on this enduring appeal, launching now on Android.

Graphically, Where's Potato? isn't groundbreaking. This straightforward 3D prop hunt unfolds in a typical suburban home, with the potato player evading seekers. However, the potato isn't entirely defenseless; consuming chili peppers grants the ability to attack and burn seekers. Eliminate three, and victory is yours.

While not revolutionary, for a solo project from a relatively new developer, Where's Potato? is a commendable effort. Its potential for widespread success, however, might be limited.

A Spud's Struggle for Success

The game's main challenge lies in the prop hunt genre's inherent reliance on social platforms or integration within larger games like Minecraft. As a standalone title, Where's Potato? faces an uphill battle for widespread adoption.

Despite this, the game represents a respectable achievement. Successfully launching a functional multiplayer game is a feat that even seasoned developers sometimes struggle with. Gamesbynav's effort warrants attention, and we'll be watching their future projects with interest.
