[Feedback] Penalty! – 1v1 penalty shootouts, looking for feedback

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

I’m a solo developer and I recently released Penalty!, a 1v1 penalty shootout game. I’d really appreciate feedback from fellow developers before I start pushing it harder.

Game link: The Penalty Challenge | Play on Roblox

About the game

  • 1v1 penalty shootouts: 5 kicks each, then sudden death
  • Play against other players/friends, or climb a bot ladder (Rookie → Legend)
  • Shooting: aim + hold-and-release power meter, curve, Panenka, knuckleball, different run-ups
  • Keeping: read the shooter, bluff, then dive for a corner
  • Slow-motion broadcast-style replays of top-corner goals and big saves
  • A hub plaza with 6 fields, a cosmetic shop (balls, gloves, goal explosions, emotes), daily quests and a Hall of Fame
  • Designed mobile-first; also plays on PC (no controller support yet)

What I’d like feedback on

  1. First 5 minutes: is the tutorial clear and short enough? Where did you lose interest?
  2. Mobile controls: do aiming, the power meter and keeping feel good on your phone?
  3. Difficulty: is the bot ladder too easy or too hard?
  4. Performance: any lag or low FPS? Please mention your device.
  5. Retention: what would make you come back tomorrow?
  6. Monetization: everything in the shop is cosmetic only. Does anything feel unfair or pushy?

Known issues

  • No gamepad/console support yet
  • The game is currently 16+ while it goes through Roblox Kids & Select review

Thanks a lot for taking the time, any feedback (even harsh) is welcome!

Is the game vibe coded? The ui feels a bit off.

“Shooter game”? No, that’s not for me (And I can’t try it unfortunately), but anyway I’ll probably try to guess what kind of weapon it is instead… Maybe… a tomato gun? ;D
(This is a joke, by the way.)
