Penalty Shooters

About Penalty Shooters

Penalty Shooters recreates the tension of a penalty shootout. You switch between being the striker and the goalie, which means you have to learn two different skills: placing your shot and reading the other player.

The description calls it a fast-paced, one-on-one duel in which every decision counts. You aim wisely to trick your opponent and try to win. The data does not list teams, tournaments or difficulty levels.

It works on phones and plays in landscape. A shootout can be played quickly, and since each kick is its own little mind game, the match stays interesting. Playing both striker and goalie means you learn to think like the other side: the spot you would pick as a shooter is also the spot you should watch as a keeper. That back-and-forth is what keeps a one-on-one duel interesting for a long time. Matches are short, so a friend can take a turn if you share a device.

How to play Penalty Shooters

1. Take your turn as the striker and aim your shot.

3. Try to trick your opponent.
4. Score more than the other side.
