Penalty Shootout EURO football

Take and save penalties in a European championship shootout, choosing direction, height and power in one click.

Difficulty: Easy to moderate
Compatibility: See device support below

Game overview

Penalty Shootout EURO football puts you on both sides of the spot in a European championship shootout. Taking a kick, one click sets direction, height and power together, which means a placed side-foot and a lob over a diving keeper come from the same input used differently. Defending, a target flashes on your goal just before the striker hits it and you have a moment to tap it. Pick a nation, survive the shootout, and lift the trophy.

This title is best suited to players who want quick penalty drama with a tournament frame.
