I've witnessed countless innovations in football games, but Pup Champs is the first time I've seen adorable dogs taking the field. The best part? If this concept appeals to you, the wait is almost over—Pup Champs launches on iOS and Android on May 19th.
Surprisingly, this isn't a sports simulation. Instead, Pup Champs is a puzzle experience where you guide your team to score by making precise passes and crosses while avoiding tackles from opponents. Designed for accessibility, you don't need to understand complex rules like the offside trap to win matches.
Even better, Pup Champs features its own underdog story (their description, not mine) where you play a retired soccer coach mentoring young players to become amateur football champions!
Take a divePup Champs will launch as free-to-start with 20 introductory puzzles. Personally, I was surprised to discover this isn't a sports simulator! Given the popularity of events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, you might expect puppy-football combinations to be common in our cute-obsessed culture.
However, there's no need to worry about style overshadowing substance. Developer Afterburn, known for quality titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks and Pulsar, brings both expertise and creative vision to this charming puzzle game.
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 explores the upcoming fish-themed tower defense game Sushimon to determine if it's worth trying.
