Pup Champs

Fun puzzle game. Gets extremely hard, but there's a hint system you can use whenever you want.

Another hit puzzler from Afterburn! I quite like pup champs, but kind of got tired of it midway through from puzzle game burnout more than any fault of pup champs. The puzzles are fun and the difficulty curve feels natural. As another reviewer (BugFree) said, it feels like solving chess puzzles and you try to find the final position, then work backward from that final position. Similar to Golf Peaks in that sense, some dislike it because it can become a little tedious to brute force trial and error your way to the final position. This game also has a hint system to show you step by step how to solve it, so beware! The temptation is real! (I abused it when i got tired and left myself unsatisfied! Will have to wait to forget all the solutions and come back another day.) But really, it's nice to have if you don't use it like that for when you get stuck.

Every level presents a unique scenario that requires players to think several moves ahead. Instead of controlling athletes in real time, players analyze the field and determine the best sequence of actions to overcome obstacles and reach the goal. Success depends on understanding positioning, timing, and the interaction between different elements on the field. The game continuously introduces new mechanics that prevent the formula from becoming repetitive, ensuring that each set of puzzles feels fresh and r…

Once again Afterburn show their talent to create great and cute puzzle games.
