The prop hunt genre has surged in popularity, captivating players with its engaging gameplay of hiding and seeking within cluttered environments. The latest addition to this genre, "Where's Potato?" by developer gamesbynav, is now available on Android. In this game, players can take on the role of either a potato or one of the seekers tasked with finding it. The potato's objective is to evade capture, while also having the unique ability to consume hot chili peppers, which allows it to burn and potentially defeat three seekers to win the game.
Visually, "Where's Potato?" adopts a straightforward 3D aesthetic, set in a typical suburban home environment. While the graphics may not be groundbreaking, the game represents a commendable effort for a solo project from a relatively new developer. The potato's ability to attack adds an interesting twist to the traditional prop hunt formula.
However, "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, which may limit the appeal of "Where's Potato?" as a standalone download. Despite this, the successful implementation of multiplayer functionality is a notable achievement, especially for a solo developer.
As we keep an eye on gamesbynav's future projects, "Where's Potato?" remains a solid entry into the prop hunt genre. If this game isn't your cup of tea, consider exploring our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this weekend for alternative entertainment options.
