Big Time Sports, a new mobile release from Frost Pop, offers a minimalist approach to sports gaming. Inspired by the classic Track & Field games, it features a series of simple, repetitive microgames, each themed around a different sport like cycling or weightlifting. The controls are straightforward; for example, pitching in baseball involves holding and releasing your finger at the right moment. Despite its simplicity, the game's addictive nature is reminiscent of its predecessors.
Big Time Sports provides a fascinating counterpoint to Frost Pop's other recent release, I Am Your Beast. While I Am Your Beast offers intense gameplay, Big Time Sports delivers casual, accessible fun. While its replayability might be limited, it's a visually appealing and unique take on a relatively under-explored genre.
For fans of sports anime, a new mobile volleyball simulator based on the popular Haikyu!! series is also on the horizon!
