In the realm of mobile sports gaming, while the focus has shifted towards technical advancements, there's a refreshing nod to minimalism with Frost Pop's latest release, Big Time Sports. This game takes inspiration from the classic Track & Field, delivering a collection of microgames that capture the essence of various sports and athletic competitions, such as bicycling and weightlifting.
Big Time Sports harks back to the simplicity of its spiritual predecessor. If you're familiar with Track & Field, you know the mix of exhilaration and challenge it brings. The controls in Big Time Sports are straightforward, with each sport represented as a microgame requiring simple, repetitive actions to achieve success. Whether you're pitching in baseball by holding and releasing at the perfect moment, or spinning during a high dive, the game breaks down sports simulation to its most basic form. It's surprising that a concept like Big Time Sports hasn't hit the mobile scene sooner.
Frost Pop's portfolio presents an interesting contrast with their other recent release, I Am Your Beast by Strange Scaffold. While I Am Your Beast offers intense, hardcore gameplay, Big Time Sports provides simple, casual microgames that invite even the least dedicated gamers to enjoy and succeed. Though Big Time Sports might not be the kind of game players revisit frequently, it offers a visually appealing and enjoyable take on a niche genre.
If you're a fan of sports and perhaps a devotee of top sports anime, you'll be thrilled to know that the beloved volleyball series Haikyu!! is set to launch a new volleyball simulation game on mobile devices worldwide in the near future.
