Penalty Shootout: how a round works
Start Penalty Shootout by looking at the playing area and its controls. Score at least three of five penalties. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Look at what changes after your first action.
Take five penalty kicks in a solo shooting challenge.
One thing to notice as you play
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success
Score at least three of five penalties. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The order of play
- Aim inside the goal.
- Shoot away from the moving keeper.
- A save or outside shot misses.
- Finish all five.
Controls
Pointer/touch, aim buttons and Shoot. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
See how the rules apply
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
One detail worth checking
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
