About Penalty Shooters
Penalty Shooters is a penalty-shootout game in which you switch between striker and goalkeeper after every kick. You pick a fantasy league, choose a team and a player, then try to win five-kick shootouts and go for the cup. The HTML5 build on this page comes from GamePix, which credits FlashFooty as the developer. In April 2015 FlashFooty described it as their first serious HTML5 game, made in Construct 2, and a remake of their earlier Flash title Penalty Fever. GamePix published this version on 31 March 2015 (CrazyGames also lists December 2014, the month FlashFooty posted the Android app). The in-game credits say the game was developed by FlashFooty.
The first screen asks you to pick a fantasy league: England, Spain, Italy, Germany, Brasil, France or Mexico. Each league has 32 teams with made-up, nickname-style names rather than official club names. After you start, a yellow-red target slides along the bottom of the goal when you shoot. Click to set the side, hold the mouse button to raise the height, and release to kick. When you are in goal, a target appears in the net and you click or tap it to dive. The side with more goals from five shots wins the match.
For the later 3D sequel, with difficulty tiers, a World Cup and power-ups, play Penalty Shooters 3. Penalty Shooters 2 is a separate game on other portals and is not in the GamePix catalog we can embed.
How to Play Penalty Shooters
- Press the green "OK, PLAY NOW!" button on the GamePix start screen.
- Pick a fantasy league: England, Spain, Italy, Germany, Brasil, France or Mexico. You can change league later from the main menu.
- On the main menu choose Start, then pick your team and your player.
- When you are the kicker, a yellow-red target moves along the bottom of the goal. Click to stop it on the side you want, hold to set the height, and release to shoot.
- After the kick you swap to the goalkeeper. Wait for the kicker to shoot. When the yellow-red target appears in the goal, click or tap it to dive.
- You swap roles after every kick. The side with more goals from five shots wins, and you keep playing rounds to go for the cup.
Controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Input | Mouse or touch only. |
| Shooting | press anywhere and hold to aim, then release to shoot. The yellow-red reticle sets the side; holding longer changes the height of the kick. |
| Saving | wait for the yellow-red target to appear in the goal, then click or tap it to dive. |
| Menus | click Start, Change League or Credits, and use the sound button to mute. |
Tips and Tricks
- Do not take the same kick every time. GamePix's tip is to avoid setting a pattern the keeper can learn.
- As the keeper, wait until the kicker hits the ball before you dive. Diving too early is an easy way to miss the target.
- Use the hold to vary height, not just the left and right of the goal. Shots aimed only along the ground become predictable.
- If you want a different set of 32 teams, go back and use Change League. Each of the seven leagues has its own list.
- Matches are decided over five shots, so one miss is not the end. Stay calm on the later kicks.

What is the difference between Penalty Shooters and Penalty Shooters 3?
This page is the original 2015 game: seven fantasy leagues, 32 teams in each, and five-kick shootouts with a moving reticle. Penalty Shooters 3, also on HopArcade, is the 2023 sequel with 3D graphics, six tiers, a World Cup, 250+ fictional teams and power-ups. Penalty Shooters 2 is a separate game on other sites and is not in the GamePix catalog we can embed.
Is there a Penalty Shooters 2?
Yes. Penalty Shooters 2 is a later game in the series and is listed on sites such as CrazyGames, but it is not in the GamePix catalog this site uses. This page is the original Penalty Shooters, and the sequel we can embed is Penalty Shooters 3.
Can you play Penalty Shooters on a phone or tablet?
Yes. GamePix lists it as desktop and mobile friendly, in landscape, and CrazyGames also lists mobile and tablet browsers. Rotate the device to landscape. We confirmed the desktop build; a real phone was not used in the headless test.
Is Penalty Shooters multiplayer or online versus a friend?
The GamePix and CrazyGames listings describe a one-on-one shootout against an opponent, and the menus we opened (Start, Change League, Credits) have no online or two-player option. It plays as a single-player cup against the computer.
Is Penalty Shooters on Poki or Crazy Games?
Yes, both. Poki hosts Penalty Shooters (credited there to 10x10games) and CrazyGames hosts it too (credited to DParrot / originally FlashFooty). The build on this page is the GamePix version, credited to FlashFooty.
