Get ready for a delightful twist in the world of mobile gaming with Pup Champs, an upcoming release for both iOS and Android set to launch on May 19th. While you might expect a sports simulation when you hear about adorable pups and football, Pup Champs surprises by being a charming puzzle game instead! Rather than focusing on the intricacies of sports, the game challenges you to strategically move your team, make clever passes, and score goals, all while avoiding tackles from the opposing team. This makes it incredibly accessible, even if you're not familiar with the rules of football.
Adding to its charm, Pup Champs comes with an inspiring underdog story where you take on the role of a retired soccer coach, guiding a team of young pups to become amateur football champions. The game is set to debut as free-to-start, offering an initial set of 20 puzzles to engage new players right from the start.
While the idea of combining puppies with football might seem like a natural fit in our cuteness-obsessed world, Pup Champs distinguishes itself by prioritizing engaging puzzle gameplay over sports simulation. Developer Afterburn, known for their work on acclaimed titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, ensures that Pup Champs isn't just about its adorable aesthetic but also about delivering a skillful gaming experience.
