If you love pups and football, you’ll love this new game. It’s Pup Champs, a cosy tactical sports puzzle game now out on Android. It’s from Afterburn, the small studio in Lodz, Poland, behind games like Railbound, Golf Peaks and inbento.
Pup Champs Has More Tactical Sense Than Any Average Weekend League Team!
In the game, your goal is to outpace your opponent AND to outsmart them. You’ll be stepping into the shoes of a retired coach helping a bunch of clumsy, lovable pups learn the ropes.
Apart from managing formations, you’ll be carefully solving a series of puzzles disguised as football plays. You start with over 30 puzzles that you can try for free.
If you like the game, unlocking the full version costs $7.99. Right now, there’s a 33 per cent launch discount running until June 2nd. Once you dive into the full game, you’ll get more than 130 challenges.
Pup Champs eases you in with simple mechanics before throwing in tougher challenges. By that, I mean things like mud that slows down passes, monkeys that mirror your movements, and bunnies reacting to how you play.
It’s Weirdly Delightful!
The gameplay in Pup Champs revolves around planning out your moves, lining up the right plays, avoiding obstacles, and guiding the pups to success. It’s all about positioning, timing, and creative thinking.
And there’s an actual story tucked in, too. It’s told through interactive motion comics, which is what I loved about the game. It follows the bond between a ragtag team and their new coach, with plenty of warm moments along the way.
So, check Pup Champs out from the Google Play Store for free. And also, take a peek at a couple of game trailers below.
