About Patiferi
In Patiferi the storm has passed and animals are stranded in a flooded harbour. Every animal wears a coloured life vest, and a rescue boat of one colour docks at the pier. Tap an animal with a clear way out: if its colour matches the docked boat it boards, if not it waits on a small raft and boards by itself when its boat arrives. When the raft is full the harbour jams. The game tells you why in one sentence and you lose nothing: undo, start over or add a plank to the raft.
The campaign is 120 levels in six parts: Flooded Street, Snowy Village, Construction Site, Festival Lost Pets, Farm After the Storm and Wetland Wildlife. Each part brings new rules: sleepyheads, snowdrifts, a pony and a calf that take two seats, shy friends, tarps, mothers with their young, the rainbow boat, crates, duckling lines, lily pads and curled hedgehogs. After level 10 the Morning Ferry docks every day. The animals you rescue come to your sanctuary, where you care for them, find them families, reunite lost pets with their owners and release wildlife. There are no ads, purchases, lives or timers.
How to play
- Tap an animal with a clear way out. Animals behind others wait until the ones in front have gone.
- An animal that matches the docked boat's colour boards it. A full boat sails and the next one docks.
- An animal of another colour waits on the raft and boards by itself when its boat arrives. In Standard mode the raft has 5 seats.
- If the raft starts to fill up, undo your last move; in Standard mode one undo per level is free. If you jam, start over or add a plank to the raft.
- Finish with a near-empty raft for more paws, up to 3. The binoculars hint makes the animal to send glow.
- Play by keyboard too: arrow keys pick an animal and Enter sends it. U undoes, H gives a hint, R starts over and Esc pauses.
Highlights
- 120 levels in 6 parts. Every tenth level is a big rescue, where two boats dock at once.
- The Morning Ferry: a new harbour every day after level 10. That day everyone at your stage rescues the same harbour. The reward is 30 biscuits, a boat swap and a stamp.
- The Sanctuary: dry, feed and take your rescued animals to the vet. Find homes with 24 families, reunite 12 lost pets with their owners, release wildlife and decorate with 40 items.
- Weekly postcards: every level brings a piece and the Morning Ferry brings two. A finished postcard gives a special decoration and a plank; unfinished cards never expire.
- The rescue log: meet 120 named animals and see the animals rescued and the boats sailed.
- Relaxed mode: a raft 2 seats bigger and unlimited undo. High contrast, big colour badges, text size, a left-handed layout and a break reminder are in the settings.
- Turkish and English, light and dark looks. No ads, no purchases, no chance rewards, no lives and no timers.
Frequently asked questions
What happens when the raft is full?
The harbour jams but you lose nothing. The game tells you why in one sentence and flashes the raft. You can undo your last move, start the level over or, if you have one, add a plank to the raft.
What is the Morning Ferry?
A daily harbour that docks every day after level 10. That day everyone at your stage rescues the same harbour. The reward is 30 biscuits, a boat swap and a stamp for your stamp card. A missed day removes nothing and stamps keep adding up.
How do I earn planks and boat swaps?
A plank adds a seat to the raft; you earn one when you finish a part, when three lanterns light up and when you complete a postcard. A boat swap trades the docked boat for the next one; you earn them in big rescues and on the Morning Ferry. Neither is ever sold.
What can I do in the sanctuary?
The animals you rescue come to the sanctuary. You dry them, feed them and take them to the vet, then send the ready ones to a family that suits their traits, and there is no wrong choice. You reunite pets lost at the festival with their owners by their marks and release wildlife back to nature.
