Penalty! is a very simple cause and effect game, and the perfect starting point for absolute beginners. You can use a switch, or point and click device, to take five shots against a cheerful goalie.

Apart from the optional switch scanning mode, the game is pure luck, which is not far off what real penalty shoot-outs are like in the World Cup.

Controls: The initial menu screen can only be navigated using a point and click device. From there you can choose to play using a single switch, a point and click device (e.g. a mouse or touch screen) or you can try switch scanning.

Set your switch to the SPACE BAR or Left Mouse Button. Use "T" to return to the controls screen.

Once set-up appropriately, this game can be played by almost everyone. Clear sound effects make the game meaningful to blind players, to an extent.
