cute little puzzle game
Pup Champs is a delightful puzzle experience that takes the familiar excitement of soccer and reimagines it as a clever tactical challenge. Developed and published by Afterburn, the game focuses on thoughtful planning rather than quick reflexes, creating an experience that feels both relaxing and mentally engaging. Its premise is simple: guide a team of energetic puppies through a series of soccer-themed puzzles by arranging players, planning passes, and finding the perfect route to score goals. While the concept sounds straightforward, the game quickly reveals an impressive level of depth beneath its adorable presentation. The heart of the experience lies in its puzzle design.

Once again Afterburn show their talent to create great and cute puzzle games.
Come from inbento to this, the game is similar structure and great graphic, and I am glad that there's hint so I can at least get first step when my brain freeze, I hope you sell better hence the thumbs up, this is nice puzzle game, keep it coming
Very cute puzzler! I loved this! Played both on the TV using a controller, and on my Steam Deck, and both worked great. The characters and setting is adorable, and the puzzle difficulty has quite the range. The early game is quite easy, but it gets tricky by the end, and the optional puzzles are quite challenging! I did not play every single optional puzzles, stuck mostly to the main path. Game is polished. Looks, sound, and plays very good!
Keep up the good work Afterburn
