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; baseball involves holding and releasing to pitch and swing, while high diving requires holding to control spins. Despite its simplicity, the game's addictive nature is reminiscent of its predecessors. It's a surprisingly engaging take on sports simulation, stripped down to its core mechanics.
Big Time Sports provides a fascinating contrast to Frost Pop's other recent release, I Am Your Beast. While the latter offers intense, hardcore gameplay, Big Time Sports delivers casual, accessible microgames suitable for even the most casual player.
While not likely to become a long-term favorite, Big Time Sports offers a charming, visually appealing experience within a relatively niche genre. For sports enthusiasts, the news of a new Haikyu!! volleyball simulator launching globally soon might be even more exciting.
