The prop hunt genre has been captivating players with its unique blend of hide-and-seek gameplay, and the latest addition to this category is Where's Potato? by developer gamesbynav, now available on Android. In this game, you can take on the role of either a potato trying to evade capture or a seeker tasked with finding the cleverly hidden tuber.

Where's Potato? transports players into a typical suburban home, where the potato must blend in with everyday objects to avoid detection. However, the potato isn't entirely defenseless; by consuming hot chili peppers, it gains the ability to attack and burn the seekers. Successfully burning three seekers results in a victory for the potato.

Visually, Where's Potato? may not set new standards in the world of 3D gaming. Its straightforward design reflects the solo effort of a relatively new developer. Despite its simplicity, it's a commendable project, especially considering the challenges of creating a functional multiplayer game.

However, the game faces stiff competition in a genre that thrives on social gaming platforms like Minecraft or as a sub-mode in other titles. Standing out as a standalone download in the prop hunt genre can be challenging. Yet, gamesbynav's effort is noteworthy, and it will be interesting to see what this developer comes up with next.
