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

The prop hunt genre has been steadily gaining popularity, captivating players with the thrill of blending into the environment and outsmarting opponents. The latest addition to this genre, "Where's Potato?" by developer gamesbynav, is now available on Android, offering a fresh take on the classic hide-and-seek gameplay.

In "Where's Potato?", players can choose to embody the potato, tasked with evading a team of seekers within a typical suburban home setting. The potato isn't completely helpless; by consuming hot chili peppers, it gains the power to burn seekers. Successfully burning three seekers secures a win for the potato. While the game's 3D visuals may not be groundbreaking, it's a commendable effort, especially considering it's a solo project from a relatively new developer.

Despite its charm, "Where's Potato?" faces challenges in standing out within the crowded prop hunt genre. This genre thrives primarily on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode within other games, making it difficult for standalone downloads like "Where's Potato?" to capture significant attention. However, the successful launch of a functional multiplayer game is a notable achievement, particularly for a developer like gamesbynav. This accomplishment piques interest in what future projects they might bring to the table.
