Where's Potato? is a fresh take on the increasingly popular prop hunt genre. Players choose a side: become the elusive potato, skillfully blending into the environment, or join the seekers, hunting down the cleverly disguised spud. The goal? For potatoes, evade capture; for seekers, uncover the hidden vegetable.
The prop hunt genre's enduring appeal stems from its simple yet captivating premise: spotting a camouflaged player within a cluttered level. Gamesbynav's Where's Potato?, now available on Android, aims to capitalize on this popularity.
Visually, Where's Potato? isn't groundbreaking. It's a straightforward 3D prop hunt set in a typical suburban home. The potato isn't entirely helpless, though; by consuming chili peppers, it gains the ability to attack and burn seekers. Eliminate three seekers, and victory is the potato's!
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.
The Potato's Predicament
Where's Potato?'s main challenge lies in the prop hunt genre's inherent reliance on social platforms or integration within larger games. Standing alone as a standalone download might prove difficult.
Despite this, the game is a respectable achievement; creating a functional multiplayer experience is a hurdle many experienced developers face. We'll be watching gamesbynav's future projects with interest.
