"Pup Champs: Adorable Football Puzzler Hits iOS, Android Soon"

Author:Kristen Update:May 15,2025

Get ready for a delightful twist on the football genre with Pup Champs, an upcoming release for iOS and Android that combines the charm of adorable pups with the excitement of football. Launching on May 19th, this game isn't your typical sports simulator; instead, it's a captivating puzzler that challenges you to guide your team to the goal through strategic passes and crosses, all while dodging tackles from the opposing team.

Designed to be accessible for everyone, even those unfamiliar with football's offside rule, Pup Champs offers an engaging experience for casual fans and seasoned players alike. The game also features an inspiring underdog story, where you step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach mentoring a team of young pups on their journey to becoming amateur football champions.

Pup Champs will be available as a free-to-start game, initially offering 20 puzzles to kickstart your adventure. While the concept of mixing pups with football might seem like a natural fit in our cuteness-obsessed world, especially given the popularity of events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs stands out by focusing on puzzle-solving rather than sports simulation.

Developed by Afterburn, the team behind acclaimed titles such as Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, Pup Champs promises both style and substance. This cutesy yet skillful puzzler is set to make a significant impact in the mobile gaming scene.

Speaking of mobile gaming, don't miss out on staying ahead of the curve! Our feature, "Ahead of the Game" by Catherine, has recently been updated. In her latest piece, she explores the upcoming fishy tower defense game, Sushimon, to see if it's worth diving into.
