Football Game Fuses Puppies and Puzzles

If you're a fan of both puppies and football, you'll adore this new game. Welcome to Pup Champs, a charming tactical sports puzzle game freshly released on Android. It comes from Afterburn, a small studio based in Łódź, Poland, known for titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and inbento.

Pup Champs Displays More Tactical Genius Than Your Average Weekend League Team

Your objective in the game is to outrun your opponent and outthink them. You'll assume the role of a retired coach tasked with mentoring a group of endearingly awkward pups as they learn the game.

Beyond managing team formations, you'll be meticulously solving a series of puzzles cleverly designed as football plays. You can begin with over 30 free puzzles available to try.

If the game captures your interest, unlocking the full version costs $7.99. For a limited time, a 33% launch discount is available until June 2nd. Gaining full access opens up over 130 additional challenges.

Pup Champs gently introduces you to its mechanics before gradually increasing the difficulty with complex obstacles. Expect elements like mud that slows your passes, monkeys that mimic your actions, and bunnies that respond dynamically to your strategy.

It's Surprisingly Charming!

The core of Pup Champs involves strategizing your moves, setting up effective plays, navigating around obstacles, and leading the pups to victory. Success hinges on smart positioning, precise timing, and creative problem-solving.

An engaging storyline is also woven throughout the experience. The narrative is delivered through interactive motion comics, a feature many players find particularly delightful. It chronicles the growing bond between a motley crew of pups and their new coach, filled with heartfelt moments.

You can try Pup Champs for free on the Google Play Store. Also, feel free to watch a couple of the game's trailers just below.
