A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Score at least three of five penalties. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
