Get ready for a delightful mix of adorable pups and football with the upcoming mobile game, Pup Champs, launching on iOS and Android on May 19th. But don't be fooled by the sports theme—Pup Champs isn't a traditional sports simulator. Instead, it's an engaging puzzler that challenges you to strategically move your team, make passes, and score goals while dodging tackles from the opposing team.
Designed with accessibility in mind, Pup Champs is perfect for both hardcore football fans and casual gamers alike. You don't need to understand complex rules like offside to enjoy and succeed in this game. Adding to the charm, Pup Champs weaves an underdog story where you step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach, mentoring a young team to amateur football glory.
Launching as a free-to-start title, Pup Champs offers 20 puzzles to kick things off, ensuring new players have plenty to dive into right from the start. While the idea of combining puppies with football might evoke thoughts of sports simulations, especially given events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs surprises with its puzzle-centric gameplay.
Developed by Afterburn, known for quality titles such as Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, Pup Champs promises both style and substance. The game's charming aesthetic is complemented by solid gameplay mechanics, ensuring a fun and fulfilling experience.
