The prop hunt genre has been capturing the hearts of gamers for quite some time, and the latest addition to this popular category is "Where's Potato?" developed by gamesbynav. This new entry is now available on Android, inviting players to immerse themselves in a fun-filled game of hide-and-seek with a twist.
In "Where's Potato?", players can take on the role of either the potato or one of the seekers. The objective is clear: if you're the potato, your mission is to cleverly hide within a typical suburban home, blending seamlessly with the environment. But don't think you're entirely at the mercy of the seekers. By consuming hot chili peppers, the potato gains a fiery ability to attack and burn the seekers. Successfully burn three seekers, and victory is yours as the potato.
On the other hand, if you're playing as a seeker, your task is to meticulously scour the home to unearth the cleverly disguised potato before it can turn the tables on you.
Visually, "Where's Potato?" may not push the boundaries of 3D graphics, but it's a commendable effort for a solo project by a relatively new developer. The game's straightforward design focuses more on gameplay than on dazzling visuals, which is a sensible approach for a prop hunt game.
However, "Where's Potato?" faces a significant challenge in standing out in the crowded prop hunt genre. This genre thrives particularly well on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a mode within other games. As a standalone download, it might struggle to capture the same level of engagement and community interaction.
Despite this, "Where's Potato?" is a testament to the dedication and skill of gamesbynav. Creating a functional multiplayer game is no small feat, and it showcases the developer's potential. As such, it's worth keeping an eye on what gamesbynav has in store for the future.
If "Where's Potato?" doesn't quite tickle your fancy, don't worry. There are plenty of other new mobile games to explore. Check out our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week for more options to keep you entertained.
