Big Time Sports Launches Microgame Athletics on iOS

When it comes to sports on mobile, the trend has shifted towards pushing technical boundaries, yet there's still a strong appeal for simplicity and minimalism. This is evident with the latest release from publisher Frosty Pop, Big Time Sports, which brings the spirit of classic games like Track & Field to your mobile device.

Big Time Sports captures the essence of Track & Field, offering a mix of fantastic and frustrating gameplay through its collection of microgames themed around various sports and athletic competitions such as bicycling and weightlifting. The controls are straightforward, requiring simple, repetitive movements to succeed in each sport. Whether you're pitching in baseball by holding and releasing your finger at the right time, or spinning during a high dive, the game distills sports simulation to its core elements, making it surprising that such a concept hasn't hit mobile devices sooner.

I'm on my way I'm making itIt's intriguing to note how Big Time Sports stands in contrast to another of Frosty Pop's recent releases, I Am Your Beast by Strange Scaffold. While the latter offers high-octane, hardcore gameplay, Big Time Sports provides simple, casual microgames that even the least dedicated gamers can enjoy and succeed in.

Though Big Time Sports may not be a game you return to repeatedly, it stands out as a visually appealing and neat take on a genre that remains niche. If you're a fan of sports and enjoy anime on the subject, you'll be thrilled to know that the iconic volleyball series Haikyu!! is set to launch a new volleyball simulation on mobile devices worldwide in the near future.
