In the realm of mobile sports gaming, where the focus often leans toward pushing technical boundaries, there remains a strong appreciation for minimalist gameplay. This is evident in Frost Pop's latest release, Big Time Sports, which brings the spirit of the classic Track & Field to mobile devices. The game features a series of microgames, each themed around a specific sport or athletic competition, such as bicycling and weightlifting.
Big Time Sports harkens back to the essence of Track & Field, a game known for being both fantastic and frustrating. With simple controls, players engage in straightforward, repetitive movements to succeed in each sport. Whether you're pitching in baseball by holding and releasing your finger at the perfect moment, or spinning during a high dive, the game distills sports simulation to its core elements. It's surprising that such a concept hasn't made its way to mobile devices sooner.
It's fascinating to see how Frost Pop's recent releases contrast with each other. While I Am Your Beast by Strange Scaffold offers high-octane, hardcore gameplay, Big Time Sports provides simple, casual microgames accessible to gamers of all skill levels.
While Big Time Sports might not be a game that players return to repeatedly, it offers a visually pleasing and neat take on a niche genre. If you're a sports enthusiast, particularly a fan of sports-themed anime, you might be thrilled to know that a new volleyball simulation inspired by the iconic series Haikyu!! is set to launch on mobile devices worldwide very soon.
