Penalty Keeper
Play Penalty Keeper free online. Play goalkeeper in an endless penalty shoot-out, read the striker, then dive to the right corner. Three goals and it is over.
How to Play Penalty Keeper
You are the goalkeeper in a penalty shoot-out that never ends. One striker after another runs up and shoots. Your job is to dive to the part of the goal the ball is heading for and stop it.
The goal has five places a shot can go: high left, high right, low left, low right and straight down the middle. Watch the striker during the run-up. Many of them glance at the side they plan to shoot, though the better ones learn to fake it.
Timing matters. If you dive before the ball is kicked, the striker will usually see you go and shoot the other way. Wait for the kick, then react. To stop a shot down the middle, just stay standing.
Each save scores 100 points plus a bonus for your saving streak. A shot that goes wide or over the bar scores 20. Every goal you let in counts against you, and three goals end the shoot-out. Shots get faster the more you save.

Tips and Tricks
- Be patient. Diving early is the most common way to let in a goal.
- Early strikers are honest. Their glance nearly always shows where the ball is going.
- Later strikers sometimes look one way and shoot the other. Watch the ball off the boot instead.
- High and low matter as much as left and right, so watch how the striker leans into the kick.
About the Game
Penalty Keeper is a reaction and mind-game sports title. It is about the split second between the kick and your dive, and about learning when the striker is bluffing.
It is drawn in a clean flat style under bright stadium lights with a cheering crowd, and it plays well on a phone with quick swipes. Your best score is kept in this browser and can go on the Top 10 board.
