Pup Champs: Adorable Football Puzzler Hits iOS, Android Soon

by Zachary May 25,2025

If you're a fan of adorable pups and football, get ready for Pup Champs, an upcoming release for iOS and Android that cleverly combines the two in a unique way. Launching on May 19th, Pup Champs isn't your typical sports simulator; instead, it's a delightful puzzle game where you guide your team of cute dogs to score goals.

In Pup Champs, strategic gameplay is key. You'll need to move your team carefully, make precise passes, and execute clever crosses to outsmart the opposing team and reach the goal without getting tackled. The game is designed to be accessible and enjoyable even for those who aren't familiar with football rules, so you don't need to worry about understanding the offside rule to win!

Adding depth to the experience, Pup Champs comes with an engaging storyline. You'll step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach, mentoring a young team on their journey to become amateur football champions. It's an underdog story that adds an extra layer of charm to the gameplay.

Pup Champs GameplayPup Champs will debut as a free-to-start title, offering 20 puzzles to kick things off for new players. While the concept of dogs playing football might initially suggest a sports simulator, especially given the popularity of events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs surprises with its puzzle-based gameplay. Developer Afterburn, known for successful titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, ensures that Pup Champs isn't just cute but also skillfully crafted.
