Get ready for a delightful twist on the football genre with Pup Champs, the upcoming iOS and Android release that combines adorable pups with the sport. Launching on May 19th, this game isn't your typical sports simulator; instead, it's a charming puzzle game where strategy is key.
In Pup Champs, your mission is to guide your team of cute dogs to score goals by making smart passes and crosses, all while dodging tackles from the opposing team. The game is designed to be accessible and enjoyable even for those who aren't football aficionados—you won't even need to understand the offside rule to triumph in these matches.
Adding to the charm, Pup Champs comes with an engaging underdog story. You'll take on the role of a retired soccer coach, mentoring your young canine squad as they strive to become amateur football champions.
Pup Champs will be free-to-start, offering 20 puzzles to kick off new players' journeys. While the concept of mixing pups with football might seem like a natural fit, especially in a world that adores the cuteness of events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs stands out by focusing on puzzle-solving rather than simulation.
Don't worry about the game being all style and no substance. Developer Afterburn, known for quality releases like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, brings both skill and style to this cutesy puzzler. And if you're looking to stay ahead of the curve in mobile gaming, be sure to check out our feature, "Ahead of the Game," recently updated by Catherine.
