# About 3D Penalty Kick

Step onto the virtual pitch in **3D Penalty Kick**, an immersive browser-based soccer game. Built with stunning 3D graphics, this game puts you right at the penalty spot for a high-stakes shootout against a skilled goalkeeper. You have a limited number of shots to prove your striking prowess.

The game features realistic physics, where the power and trajectory of your shot are entirely in your hands. The objective is simple: score as many goals as you can in five attempts. With an animated keeper that moves to block your shots and clean, responsive controls, every attempt is a new and exciting challenge.

## How to Play

The goal of the game is to score more goals than the keeper can save within five shots.

1.  **Get Ready:** The game starts with the ball on the penalty spot, ready for you to take your shot.
2.  **Aim and Power Up:** Click and hold your mouse button (or tap and hold on a touch screen). Drag your cursor away from the initial click point. The direction you drag determines the aim, and the distance you drag determines the power of your shot.
3.  **Shoot:** Release the mouse button (or your finger) to kick the ball.
4.  **Score or Miss:** Watch as the ball flies towards the goal. The game will announce if you've scored a "GOAL!", if the keeper "SAVED!" it, or if you "MISS!".
5.  **Game Over:** After five shots, your final score is displayed. Click the screen to restart and try for a better score.

## Features

- **Immersive 3D Graphics:** Experience the game in a fully realized 3D environment, from the grassy field to the detailed goalposts.
- **Intuitive Drag-and-Shoot Controls:** Simple and satisfying controls make it easy for anyone to pick up and play. Just click, drag, and release to shoot.
- **Dynamic AI Goalkeeper:** The goalkeeper moves and reacts to your presence, providing a constant challenge and making each shot different.
- **Physics-Based Gameplay:** The ball's movement is governed by a physics engine, including gravity, resulting in realistic and satisfying shot arcs.

## Controls

- **Aim and Shoot:** Click and hold the left mouse button (or tap and hold on a touch screen), drag to set the direction and power, and release to shoot.
- **Restart Game:** After the game is over, click anywhere on the screen to start a new round.

## Tips & Strategies

- **Aim for the Corners:** The top and bottom corners of the goal are the most difficult areas for the goalkeeper to reach. A well-placed shot is often better than a powerful one.
- **Balance Power and Accuracy:** A very powerful shot (a long drag) can be fast but harder to control. Find a good balance to keep the keeper guessing without sacrificing accuracy.
- **Vary Your Shots:** Don't shoot at the same spot every time. Mix up your shots between high, low, left, and right to keep the goalkeeper off-balance.
