Where's Potato? is a fresh take on the increasingly popular prop hunt genre. Players either become the elusive potato, cleverly disguised within a cluttered environment, or join the seekers, tasked with its discovery. The goal? For the potato to evade capture, or to burn three seekers using chili pepper-powered attacks.
The game's visuals are straightforward 3D, depicting a typical suburban home as the hiding ground. While not visually stunning, for a solo project from a relatively new developer, Where's Potato? shows considerable promise. However, its potential for widespread appeal might be limited.
The prop hunt genre thrives within the social contexts of games like Minecraft or as a game mode within larger titles. Where's Potato?'s standalone nature might hinder its broader reach.
Despite this, the game represents a commendable achievement. Successfully launching a functional multiplayer game is a significant feat, even for seasoned developers. Gamesbynav's effort deserves recognition, and we look forward to their future projects.
