Released on November of 2011 & Developed by Zeenoh Games, Patintero Playtime an iPhone app game based solely on the traditional Filipino traditional game Patintero itself. Patintero as Filipinos know it, is played on a 2x3 grid , each partition including the middle one has its defenders called taggers, the goal of the game is for the players or the offense must pass through the grid without getting tagged, once tagged the defense would claim the win but if all the players have passed the grid without getting tagged then the players on the offense win. In a real life scenario agility, strategy and teamwork is the key in order to win. Indeed Zeenoh had captured the essence of the game emphasizing its core concepts by adding power ups to improve speed , stop time and score points because in the game the team scoring the most points would win the game.Patintero Playtime also has other features such as the achievements that the player can unlock during the course of the game. Surely Patintero Playtime have set the bar for game developers especially Filipino ones, for them to come up with this kind concept and put in mind to the developers that Patintero is only one of many Filipino traditional games that by date still exist.
