Penalty Challenge
Penalty Challenge
Penalty Challenge brings the intensity of a major soccer tournament to your desktop. You begin by selecting one of 32 different national teams to represent. The gameplay is divided into two distinct phases: the striker phase and the goalkeeper phase. This dual-role mechanic ensures you experience both sides of the penalty shootout, requiring different skills for each. As the striker, you must find the back of the net, while as the keeper, you must anticipate the opponent's moves to make the save.
In the kicking phase, you are given five attempts to score. Success depends on your ability to place the ball accurately and with enough speed to beat the keeper. Once your attempts are finished, the roles reverse. You then take control of the goalkeeper's gloves for five attempts to block the opponent's kicks. This balanced structure mimics the real-world rules of a soccer shootout, where every save is just as valuable as every goal scored.
The game features a persistence system that tracks your progress through the tournament. This allows you to work your way through the bracket with your chosen team. The focus is on the technical execution of the kicks and saves, using mouse movements to control the trajectory of the ball and the position of the gloves. The variety of teams and the alternating gameplay roles provide a comprehensive simulation of the penalty kick scenario.

How to Play
First, select your team from the 32 available options. The match begins with you in the striker role. Use your mouse to click and drag from the ball toward the goal. The speed and direction of your movement will determine where the ball goes. You have five attempts to score as many goals as possible.
After your five kicks, you will switch to the goalkeeper role. Your opponent will now take five kicks. To make a save, move your mouse to position the goalkeeper's gloves in the path of the incoming ball. You must react quickly to the ball's trajectory to prevent the opponent from scoring.
The winner is determined by who has the most successful goals at the end of both phases. Your progress is saved as you move through the tournament, so aim for consistent performance in both roles to advance your team to the final round.
