Patintero w/ Ball

Patintero w/ Ball — the classic Filipino street game, playable in your browser.

Dodge the taya and sprint across the chalk court in this 5v5 runner-vs-taggers arcade game. Play as a coed crew of street kids — each with their own look, from the fat snotty boy to the tall lanky girl to the pantsless little legend — while a tire-rolling kid cuts across your path and the stray dog either chases you or just sits there scratching himself.

Grab buko juice for power-ups, dodge sand, water, and fire hazards, and use the "Play safe" call when the heat's on. Sari-sari store and jeepney flavor throughout.

How to play: You're a runner trying to cross every line of the court without getting tagged. The taya (taggers) each guard their own line — but watch out, they can't leave it. Cross a line and it's locked behind you: step back over and you lose a life. Use the joystick to run, hit "Play safe" to hold position when a tagger's closing in, and grab buko juice for a speed boost. Cross all lines to score.

Free, browser-based, mobile-friendly with joystick controls.
