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

Where's Potato? is a new entry in the increasingly popular prop hunt genre. Players take turns being either a potato, cleverly camouflaged within a cluttered environment, or a seeker tasked with finding the elusive spud. The goal is simple: for the potato, evade capture; for the seekers, locate and "burn" the potato.

The game's visuals are straightforward 3D, depicting a typical suburban home as the hiding ground. The potato isn't entirely helpless, however; by consuming chili peppers, it gains the ability to attack and burn seekers. Eliminate three seekers, and the potato wins!

While not groundbreaking in design, Where's Potato? is a respectable effort, especially considering it's a solo project from a relatively new developer. However, its success might be limited. The prop hunt genre thrives primarily within larger social gaming platforms or as a game mode within established titles. Standing alone as a single download presents a significant challenge.

This limitation stems from the genre's inherent reliance on a large, active player base. The fun of prop hunt is often amplified by the social interaction and competition.

Despite this, Where's Potato? is a commendable achievement. Successfully launching a functional multiplayer game is a feat many experienced developers struggle with. We'll be keeping an eye on gamesbynav's future projects.
