Pup Champs: Adorable Football Puzzler Hits iOS, Android Soon

Author: Samuel Apr 11,2025

Get ready to experience a delightful twist on football with Pup Champs, the upcoming iOS and Android game that combines adorable pups with the excitement of the sport. Launching on May 19th, Pup Champs isn't your typical sports simulator; instead, it's a charming puzzler that promises to captivate both football fans and puzzle enthusiasts alike.

In Pup Champs, you'll guide your team of cute dogs to score goals, not through traditional sports simulation, but by solving puzzles. The game challenges you to navigate your team strategically, using passes and crosses to outmaneuver the opposing team and reach the goal. It's designed to be user-friendly, ensuring that even those unfamiliar with football rules, like the offside rule, can enjoy and succeed in the game.

Adding to the charm, Pup Champs features an inspiring underdog story where you take on the role of a retired soccer coach mentoring a youthful team to amateur football glory. This narrative adds depth and motivation to the puzzle-solving gameplay.

When Pup Champs launches, it will be available as a free-to-start game, initially offering 20 puzzles to engage new players. The game's developer, Afterburn, has a reputable track record with titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, ensuring that Pup Champs combines both style and substance. While the concept of dogs playing football might seem like a natural fit for a sports simulator, especially following events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs innovatively stands out as a puzzle game.
