Take on the CPU in a tense best-of-5 penalty shootout. Aim your spot in the goal, charge the power meter and curl one past the diving keeper, then flip sides and become the goalkeeper, reading the CPU striker and throwing yourself the right way to make the save. Level after five kicks? It goes to sudden death. Build the longest win streak you can.
About Penalty Kick
Penalty Kick is an original, self-contained soccer shootout built entirely with HTML Canvas and the Web Audio API, with no external assets. It captures the two-sided drama of a real penalty competition: half the time you are the striker picking a corner and trusting your nerve, and half the time you are the lone keeper guessing which way to dive. A running scoreboard and a shot-by-shot board of made and missed kicks track the duel, and a tied score after five rounds spills into sudden death where a single mistake ends it. Your longest run of match wins is saved locally so every shootout carries the weight of your streak.

How to play Penalty Kick
The match alternates: you take a penalty, then you defend one, repeating for five rounds each (more if it ends level). When SHOOTING, choose one of six target zones inside the goal (three across, two high/low), then set your power. Too little power and the keeper smothers it or you scuff it wide; too much and you blast it over the bar; somewhere strong-but-controlled beats the dive most reliably. When DEFENDING, pick which third of the goal to dive into before the CPU strikes, then commit. Guess the striker's side to make the save. Most goals after five kicks wins; if it is tied, sudden death decides it the moment one side scores and the other misses.
Controls
Touch / Mouse: when shooting, tap or drag on the goal to pick your target zone, hold to charge the power meter, and release to fire. When defending, tap the left, middle, or right third of the goal to choose your dive. Keyboard: Arrow keys aim (Left/Right pick the column, Up/Down pick high or low) or choose your dive side; hold Space to build power and release Space to shoot or commit your dive (Enter also fires). Press M anytime to mute, and R to start a new match. A visible mute button sits in the top corner.
Tips & tricks
- Power is a trade-off: medium-high beats the keeper most often, while very low shots get saved and maxed-out blasts sail over the bar.
- Vary your corners. Picking the same zone every kick lets the pattern bite you when luck swings the other way.
- High shots into a side zone are the hardest for the keeper to reach even when they guess your column correctly.
- When defending, the CPU favors the corners and often shoots high, so committing to a side rather than staying central pays off.
- In sudden death there is no margin: take a confident, well-powered shot and pick a definite dive side, because a single miss can end the match.
