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

Get ready for a delightful twist on the football genre with Pup Champs, an upcoming release set to charm iOS and Android users starting May 19th. This game isn't your typical sports simulator; instead, it's a heartwarming puzzler where adorable pups take the field to play football. In Pup Champs, you'll strategize your team's moves, execute clever passes, and aim for the goal, all while dodging tackles from the opposing team.

What's truly captivating about Pup Champs is its accessibility. Designed with casual fans in mind, you don't need to understand complex rules like the offside to enjoy and succeed in this game. Plus, it comes with 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 become amateur football champions.

Pup Champs will launch as free-to-start, offering 20 puzzles to kick off your adventure. While the idea 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—the game surprises by being a puzzler rather than a sports sim. Developer Afterburn, known for quality titles such as Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, ensures that Pup Champs is not just about style but also packed with skillful gameplay.
