Take the kick or run the club
ARCADE brings together two different football games. Penalty Shotout puts you on the penalty spot and in goal: aim, release your shot and react to the opponent. GAFFER puts you in charge of a club, where tactics, morale and the board shape your career. Both run in your browser without an account or installation.
Choose Penalty Shotout when you want a hands-on football challenge. Choose GAFFER when you want to make decisions and see their consequences across a managerial career. These games are single-player experiences; there is no online multiplayer matchmaking.
Penalty Shotout: a tournament built around the spot kick
Choose one of 48 national teams and keep it through a tournament of 12 groups followed by knockout rounds. You alternate between taking penalties and defending them. A moving target controls direction, while holding the input raises the shot. On the other side, you have to read the target and commit to a save.
The game is available in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Read the controls and tournament guide before you enter the pitch. Your completed matches are saved on the device you use.
GAFFER: football management and career decisions
Start with a League One club, pick a tactical identity and face decisions about the squad, transfers and the dressing room. The path can lead through higher divisions, but the board can also lose patience. GAFFER is a career simulator rather than a live football match.
Switch between the two games from this category. Neither asks you to download a game client, and each keeps its own progress.
