How to play Penalty Shootout
Every penalty is two taps. The first tap locks the crosshair as it sweeps across the goalmouth โ that is where your shot goes. The second tap stops the rising-and-falling power bar.
The keeper decides as you strike: soft shots give him time to read your corner, hard shots force a guess. But push the power past 90 and the ball can sail clean over the bar.
You take ten penalties. A goal is 100 points plus a corner bonus for placement near the posts and bar โ and consecutive goals build a streak bonus worth 25 more each.
Tips & tricks
- The sweet spot is 70โ90 power: too fast for the keeper, still under the bar.
- Corners pay double duty โ harder for the keeper to reach and worth up to 50 bonus points.
- Down-the-middle works exactly when it looks dumbest: after a run of corner shots, the keeper is already diving.
- Protect a streak: a safe 75-power shot into a corner beats a max-power gamble that ends the run at zero.
