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 gameplay is straightforward: pitching in baseball involves holding and releasing your finger, while high diving requires holding to spin. Despite its simplicity, the game's addictive nature is reminiscent of its predecessors. Its stripped-down mechanics surprisingly make it a refreshing take on sports simulation.
Big Time Sports provides a fascinating contrast to Frost Pop's other recent release, I Am Your Beast. While I Am Your Beast offers intense gameplay, Big Time Sports provides casual, accessible fun. While not likely to become a long-term obsession, it's a visually appealing and enjoyable diversion for sports fans.
For those who enjoy sports anime, the popular volleyball series Haikyu!! is getting its own mobile volleyball simulator, launching globally soon!
