Where's Potato? is a fresh take on the increasingly popular prop hunt genre. Players either become the elusive potato, blending seamlessly into a cluttered environment, or join the seekers, tasked with finding the cleverly disguised spud. The goal? For the potato, it's about evasion and survival; for the seekers, it's about sharp eyes and quick reflexes.
The game's visuals aren't groundbreaking, presenting a straightforward 3D environment—a typical suburban home—where the potato hides. However, the potato isn't entirely defenseless. By consuming chili peppers, it gains the ability to burn seekers. Eliminate three, and victory is yours!
While not revolutionary in design, Where's Potato? is a commendable effort, especially considering it's a solo project from a relatively new developer. However, its success may be limited.
The prop hunt genre thrives on social platforms like Minecraft or as a game mode within larger titles. Where's Potato?'s standalone nature might hinder its broader appeal.
Despite this, the game represents a respectable achievement, especially the successful implementation of functional multiplayer, a hurdle many experienced developers face. We'll be keeping an eye on gamesbynav's future projects.
