Lovely little puzzle soccer game

This game is ostensibly a turn-based soccer game featuring doggies facing off against other animal friends. In reality, it's a puzzle game where the ball needs to be dribbled or kicked around various obstacles within a limited number of moves to score a goal. Each pup has a unique kick style and distance that has to be used in turn. The opposing players will either move when you move, move when you kick, or create traps of some kind. The field also features various obstacles like leaf piles, mud pits, and traffic cones that obstruct you in different ways.
The puzzles vary from very easy to exceptionally difficult. Having to account for each individual dribble and kick for four different players requires some serious brainpower. More than once, I watched a playthrough to at least get the opening few moves down.
The levels are accompanied by a comic in between stages that tells the story of a doggie dad coaching his kid to play soccer, being joined by his friends and then by other neighborhood kids.
I played on my Steam Deck and it worked perfectly. No crashes or bugs.
