Goalkeeper puts you between the posts for an endless barrage of shots. Shuffle along your line to narrow the angle, then flick to dive low or high, or jump for shots over your head. Timing is everything: a dive takes a moment to reach full stretch and leaves you on the ground afterwards, so commit too early and a curler bends past you. Every four saves the strikers get sharper — curling shots, dipping chips and fierce rockets join the mix. Clean catches at your body score extra. Concede three goals and the run is over.
How to play Goalkeeper
Goal: Save as many shots as you can before you concede three goals.
Keyboard & mouse
- Left/Right (or A/D) to move along the goal line
- Space dives in the direction you are holding (hold Up as well for a high dive)
- Space with no direction jumps
- Or drag with the mouse to move and flick to dive
- P or Escape to pause
Phone & tablet
- Drag left and right to move along your line
- Flick sideways to dive low, flick up and sideways to dive high
- Flick straight up to jump
Rules
- Watch the striker and the ball: shots can curl and dip, so the target is clear only late.
- Move along your line to stay between the ball and the goal.
- Dive low for shots near the ground, high for the top corners, and jump for shots over your head.
- A dive takes about a third of a second to reach full stretch, and you are down for a moment after it.
- Shots that go wide or hit the post still earn a few points. Three goals end the run.
Tips and strategy
- Do not dive at shots that are going wide — you may be on the floor for the next one.
- Curlers start wide and bend back in: wait for the bend.
- Shots straight at you are caught cleanly for bonus points — sometimes standing still is right.
