Pup Champs: Adorable Football Puzzler Hits iOS, Android Soon

Author : Emily Apr 22,2025

Get ready to experience a delightful twist on the football genre with Pup Champs, an enchanting new game set to launch on iOS and Android on May 19th. This isn't your typical sports simulator; instead, Pup Champs combines the charm of adorable pups with the strategic fun of a puzzle game. As you guide your team of cute canines across the field, your goal is to score by making clever passes and avoiding tackles from the opposing team. It's designed to be accessible, so even if you're not a football aficionado, you can still enjoy the thrill of the game without knowing the intricacies of the offside rule.

Adding to its appeal, Pup Champs weaves an endearing underdog story into its gameplay. You step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach, mentoring a team of young pups as they strive to become amateur football champions. The game launches 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 surprises by opting for a puzzle format over a sports simulation. Developer Afterburn, known for their work on acclaimed titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, brings both skill and style to this charming game, ensuring it's not just all about the looks.
