Pup Champs Football Game Arrives on iOS, Android

• Pup Champs is an upcoming iOS and Android game blending cute puppies with football action
• Rather than a sports simulation, it's actually a puzzle game
• Strategically move your team, execute passes, and score goals

While I've encountered countless variations in football games, Pup Champs presents something truly unique - adorable dogs playing the sport! The best part is you won't have to wait long to experience it, as Pup Champs launches on iOS and Android on May 19th.

Surprisingly, this isn't a traditional sports simulator. Instead, Pup Champs is a puzzle game where you must guide your team toward the goal using passes and crosses while avoiding tackles from opponents. Designed for accessibility, you don't even need to understand the offside rule to succeed in these matches.

Adding to the appeal, Pup Champs features its own underdog story (their description, not mine) where you play as a retired soccer coach mentoring young players to become amateur football champions!

Pup Champs will launch as free-to-start with 20 introductory puzzles. Personally, I was genuinely surprised to discover this wasn't a sports simulation! Given the popularity of events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, combining puppies with football seems perfectly suited for our cuteness-loving world.

However, there's no need to worry about style overpowering substance, as developer Afterburn has an impressive track record with titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks and Pulsar. This charming puzzle game clearly benefits from both skillful design and appealing aesthetics.

Speaking of staying current in mobile gaming, you'll want to stay Ahead of the Game! Coincidentally, Catherine's regular feature of the same name recently received its latest update, where she examines the upcoming fish-themed tower defense game Sushimon to determine if it's worth trying.
