How to Play Penalty King
Penalty King turns the classic penalty kick into a skill-based arcade challenge. Every shot has three decisions — Aim, Power and Curve — and how well you time each one decides whether the goalkeeper gets a hand to it.
1. Aim
Drag anywhere on the pitch to move the aim reticle inside the goal, then release to lock it in. The top corners are the Gold Zone and King Zone — much harder to hit, but worth far more points.
2. Power
A power meter sweeps back and forth. Tap once to stop it — landing inside the yellow PERFECT zone gives your shot more pace and a scoring bonus, while going into the red zone risks blazing the ball over the bar.
3. Curve
After locking your power, swipe left or right to bend the shot. A controlled curve adds bonus points and makes the ball harder to read — but overdo it and the ball can curl wide.
Goal
Score as many penalties in a row as you can in King Mode. The goalkeeper gets faster and smarter with every streak, so the pressure keeps building until one save, post, crossbar or miss ends your run — except on a Bonus Penalty, where your streak survives even if you fail.

Penalty King Tips
Don't chase max power. The PERFECT zone (not the top of the meter) gives the best mix of pace and accuracy — overshooting into the red risks blazing the ball over the bar entirely.
Use curve sparingly. A small, controlled curve earns bonus points and is genuinely harder for the keeper to read. A huge curve looks flashy but is far more likely to miss the frame.
Save the corners for when it counts. The King Zone pays the most but is the hardest for you to land accurately under pressure — mix in safer normal-zone shots to keep your streak alive.
Respect the goalkeeper's growth. Past streak 10 the keeper reacts fast and occasionally fakes a dive — stay unpredictable with your aim rather than favoring one side.
