Where's Potato: A New Twist on Prop Hunt

Where's Potato is a fresh take on the increasingly popular prop hunt genre. Players choose to be either the elusive potato or one of the seekers tasked with finding it. The goal is simple: avoid being "burned" (as a seeker) or evade capture (as the potato) long enough to claim victory.

The prop hunt genre's enduring appeal lies in its deceptively simple premise: locating a cleverly disguised player within a cluttered environment. Gamesbynav's Where's Potato?, now available on Android, aims to capitalize on this popularity.

Graphically, Where's Potato? isn't groundbreaking. It's a straightforward 3D game where the potato hides within a typical suburban house, evading a team of seekers. However, the potato isn't entirely defenseless; consuming chili peppers grants the ability to attack and burn seekers. Eliminating three seekers secures victory for the potato.

While not revolutionary, Where's Potato? is a commendable effort, especially considering it's a solo project from a relatively new developer. However, its success might be limited due to a key factor.

The Challenge of Standing Out

The prop hunt genre thrives primarily within social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a game mode within larger titles. Where's Potato?'s standalone nature might hinder its widespread appeal.

Despite this, the game represents a significant achievement. Successfully creating a functional multiplayer experience is a challenge even for experienced developers. Therefore, Gamesbynav deserves recognition for this accomplishment. Their future projects will be worth watching.
