Get ready for a delightful twist on football with the upcoming mobile game, Pup Champs! Set to launch on both iOS and Android on May 19th, this game combines the cuteness of adorable pups with the excitement of football, but with a surprising twist—it's not a sports simulator. Instead, Pup Champs is a puzzler that challenges you to strategically move your team, make passes, and score goals while avoiding tackles from the opposing team.
Designed to be accessible for everyone, even those who don't know the offside rule, Pup Champs offers an engaging experience for casual fans and puzzle enthusiasts alike. The game also features an endearing underdog story, where you take on the role of a retired soccer coach guiding a young team to become amateur football champions.
Pup Champs will be free-to-start, offering 20 puzzles to kick off your journey. While the idea of mixing pups with football might seem like a natural fit, especially given the popularity of events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs stands out by focusing on puzzle-solving rather than sports simulation. Developer Afterburn, known for their work on acclaimed titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, brings both skill and style to this charming game.
