About Penalty Shooters
Penalties on their own, with nothing else attached. You take a kick, then you go in goal for theirs, and the match moves back and forth like that until somebody misses one too many.
Both halves of the job want something different from you. Shooting is about picking a corner and selling the wrong one first. Keeping is about reading the striker before the ball moves. Wins carry you toward a cup. It plays at 800 by 600 on a phone or a desktop.
How to play
- Take your turn as the striker and aim your penalty.
- Swap over and try to save the shot coming back.
- Beat your opponent over the run of kicks.
- Keep winning to progress through the cup.

Tips
- Vary your corner. A keeper who has seen the same shot twice will be waiting for the third.
- Watch the run up when you are in goal. It gives away more than the ball does.
