Get ready for an adorable twist on football with Pup Champs, launching on iOS and Android on May 19th. This isn't your typical sports simulator; instead, Pup Champs blends the charm of cute puppies with the strategic gameplay of a puzzler. Your mission? Guide your team of pups to score goals by making clever passes and crosses, all while dodging tackles from the opposing team. Designed with accessibility in mind, even casual fans can dive right in without needing to understand complex rules like the offside rule.
Adding to the charm, Pup Champs comes with its own heartwarming underdog story. You'll step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach, mentoring a team of young pups to become amateur football champions. The game will be free-to-start, offering 20 puzzles right from the start to ease new players into the action.
While the concept of combining puppies 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 being a puzzler rather than a sports simulator. Developer Afterburn, known for successful titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, brings both skill and style to this delightful game.
For those keen on staying ahead in the mobile gaming world, don't miss our updated feature, "Ahead of the Game," where Catherine explores upcoming releases like the fishy tower defense game Sushimon, offering insights on whether it's worth a bite.
