Pup Champs: Adorable Football Puzzler Hits iOS, Android Soon

Author : Daniel May 07,2025

Get ready for an adorable twist on football with Pup Champs, launching on iOS and Android on May 19th! While you might expect a sports simulator given the theme, Pup Champs surprises as a delightful puzzler. Instead of a traditional sports sim, you'll be navigating your team of cute pups to score goals through strategic passes and clever maneuvers to dodge the opposing team's tackles.

What makes Pup Champs even more engaging is its heartwarming underdog story. You step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach, mentoring your young canine team to become amateur football champions. It's a game designed to be accessible and enjoyable even for those who aren't well-versed in football rules like the offside rule.

Pup Champs will be free-to-start, offering 20 puzzles right from the start to engage new players. Although the concept of combining puppies with football isn't new, thanks to events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs stands out as a puzzle game rather than a sports simulator. The game's developer, Afterburn, brings credibility to the mix, having previously worked on acclaimed titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, ensuring that Pup Champs is not just cute but also skillfully crafted.

While we're on the topic of mobile gaming, don't miss out on staying ahead of the game. Our feature "Ahead of the Game" by Catherine has been recently updated, with a deep dive into the upcoming fishy tower defense game Sushimon, exploring whether it's worth your time and attention.
