A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Score at least three of five penalties. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.
Step by step
- 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. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
