Doodle Soccer

Google Doodle Soccer is a fun and addictive mini soccer game originally released as an interactive Google Doodle. This charming goalkeeper game challenges you to save as many shots as possible in a fast-paced penalty shootout scenario.

The game captures the excitement of soccer's most tense moments—the penalty kick. With simple controls and increasingly difficult shots, Doodle Soccer delivers that "just one more try" feeling that keeps players coming back.
