Pup Champs: Adorable Football Puzzler Hits iOS, Android Soon

Get ready for a delightful twist on the football genre with Pup Champs, an upcoming release for iOS and Android that combines the charm of adorable pups with the excitement of football. Launching on May 19th, this game isn't your typical sports simulator; instead, it's a captivating puzzler that challenges you to strategically move your team, make precise passes, and score goals while avoiding tackles from the opposing team.

Designed to be accessible for all, even those unfamiliar with football's offside rule can enjoy Pup Champs. The game also features an engaging underdog story where you step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach, guiding a young team to become amateur football champions.

Pup Champs will be available as a free-to-start game, offering 20 puzzles to kickstart your journey. While the concept of mixing pups with football might seem like a natural fit in our cuteness-obsessed world, especially given the popularity of events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs surprises by focusing on puzzle-solving rather than sports simulation.

Don't worry about the game being all style and no substance, though. Developer Afterburn, known for their work on acclaimed titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, brings both skill and style to this charming puzzler.
