Detailed Game Introduction

Penalty Showdown alternates between shooting and goalkeeping phases. As the taker, disguise placement and height; as the keeper, read run‑ups and dive late. Winning relies on rhythm changes and mixed shot profiles rather than power alone.

Gameplay Strategy & Walkthrough

1. Mix profiles: Alternate low corners, high corners, and center chips to avoid patterns.
2. Keeper late dive: Move briefly then commit late to the striker’s open‑body side.
3. Power windows: Mid‑high power gives speed without wild slices.
4. Wind: Offset aim and reduce height under strong wind (if modeled).
5. Mind games: Pause a beat before shots to bait early dives.

Controls Guide

• Shoot: aim + power + (optional) swerve. Keep: choose side/timing; some builds allow manual dives.

• Q: Keeper guesses me every time.

  A: Change run‑up angles and add a brief pause before contact.

• Q: Best keeper tip?

  A: Watch the last two steps — hips often telegraph shot side.
