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.

Pup Champs is designed to be accessible to everyone, even those who aren't well-versed in football rules like the offside rule. The game comes with its own heartwarming underdog story, where you step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach guiding a young team to become amateur football champions.

Launching as free-to-start, Pup Champs offers 20 initial puzzles to get new players hooked. While the concept of mixing pups with football might seem like a natural fit given the popularity of events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs surprises by focusing on puzzle-solving rather than sports simulation. Developer Afterburn, known for their work on acclaimed titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, ensures that this game is not just about its cute aesthetics but also about engaging gameplay.
