Author : Zachary May 07,2025

If you're a fan of both adorable pups and football, get ready for Pup Champs, an exciting new game coming to iOS and Android on May 19th. Unlike traditional sports simulators, Pup Champs blends the charm of cute dogs with the strategic elements of a puzzle game, creating a unique and engaging experience.

In Pup Champs, your challenge isn't to master the intricacies of football but to strategically navigate your team to score goals through clever passes and crosses. It's designed to be accessible, ensuring even those unfamiliar with football rules can enjoy the game and lead their team to victory.

The game comes with a heartwarming narrative, where you step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach mentoring a young team of pups on their journey to becoming amateur football champions. This underdog story adds depth and motivation to your gameplay experience.

Pup Champs will launch as a free-to-start title, offering 20 initial puzzles to get new players hooked. While you might expect a sports simulator given the popularity of events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs surprises by focusing on puzzle-solving rather than simulation. Developer Afterburn, known for critically acclaimed titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, ensures that Pup Champs combines style with substance, promising a well-crafted gaming experience.
