Overview
Being selected to shoot a penalty shot may be just as stressful as being the one who has to block it. This is the only time in football where one player from either team is facing off in an environment where they can be interrupted. The tension that arises from knowing that it's just your own skill that will determine victory or defeat is overwhelming. It's all about who blinks first and it can all be decided in less than a second. You'll get an idea of what that's like from playing through this game and trying to claim a win.
Gameplay and Experience
Penalty Shooters is a sports dueling game that is played with the mouse. Depending on which position you're playing, the function of the mouse changes. When the game starts, you get a chance to choose your team and then your player. The goal then becomes to beat other teams in continuous rounds of penalty kicks to win points toward collecting the cup, just like a world cup penalty shootout. When you're playing as the kicker, a yellow-red target reticle will move back and forth across the bottom part of the goal. You can stop it by clicking and the kicker will kick toward where it stopped. You can change the height of the shot by holding down the left mouse button and then letting go to take the shot. Whether the shot makes it or misses, you'll swap to the goalie after. As the goalie, you need to wait for the kicker to make the first move. When they decide to shoot, the yellow-red target will appear somewhere in the goal. All you have to do is click on it to get the goalie to dive toward it. If they're successful, the shot will be blocked. After that or a missed block, you'll swap back to the kicker again. Whichever side gets the most points out of five shots will be declared the winner.
