Pup Champs Shows More Tactical Sense Than Your Average Weekend League Team

In the game, your objective is to outrun and outthink your opponent. You step into the role of a retired coach tasked with teaching the ropes to a squad of clumsy, adorable puppies.

Beyond managing team formations, you'll carefully solve a series of puzzles disguised as football plays. You can start with over 30 free puzzles.

If you enjoy the game, the full version unlocks for $7.99. A 33% launch discount is available until June 2nd. The full game offers over 130 challenges.

Pup Champs introduces simple mechanics before ramping up the difficulty. This includes mud that slows passes, monkeys that mimic your moves, and bunnies that react to your strategy.

It's Strangely Charming!

The gameplay focuses on planning your moves, setting up the right plays, navigating obstacles, and leading the puppies to victory. Success depends on positioning, timing, and creative problem-solving.

An engaging story is woven throughout, told via interactive motion comics—a highlight of the experience. It follows the growing bond between a ragtag team and their new coach, filled with heartwarming moments.

Try Pup Champs for free on the Google Play Store. You can also watch a couple of the game's trailers below.
