Just two days to go until Pup Champs comes out! ๐Ÿถ2๏ธโƒฃ There are four units in the game, each with a slightly different approach to kicking the ball; so every puzzle gives you slightly different tools to work your way around a problem.

Pup Champs will be released in just 3 days! ๐Ÿถ3๏ธโƒฃ At 1.5 years Pup Champs is our longest-developed game thus far - we've spent a ton of time figuring out the game's design, UI/UX, visuals and even the screen orientation: the initial prototype was played in portrait mode!

Pup Champs launches in just 6 days! ๐Ÿถ6๏ธโƒฃ The game is all about planning your moves, passing the ball between teammates, avoiding obstacles and shooting some sweet, sweet goals:
