How to play Penalty Challenge
Nothing here needs explaining twice. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move your player |
| Spacebar | Shoot or pass |
On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
Why it is worth playing
What makes Penalty Challenge stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. It is not trying to be anything larger, and it is better for it.
