Microgame Athletics Now on iOS via Big Time Sports

Big Time Sports, a new mobile game from Frost Pop, offers a minimalist approach to sports gaming. Inspired by 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 quality is reminiscent of its predecessors.

Big Time Sports provides a fascinating contrast to Frost Pop's other recent release, I Am Your Beast. While the latter offers intense gameplay, Big Time Sports provides casual, accessible fun for even the most casual gamer. While not likely to become a long-term favorite, it's a visually appealing and unique take on a relatively under-represented genre.

For fans of sports anime, the upcoming worldwide release of a Haikyu!! volleyball simulator offers another mobile gaming option.
