Big Time Sports Launches Microgame Athletics on iOS

In the realm of mobile sports gaming, while the focus has shifted towards technical advancements, there remains a significant niche for minimalist games. This is evident with the latest release from publisher Frost Pop, Big Time Sports. This game harks back to the essence of its spiritual predecessor, Track & Field, known for its blend of fun and frustration. Big Time Sports features simple controls and microgames centered around various sports and athletic competitions such as bicycling, weightlifting, and more.

The gameplay mechanics are delightfully straightforward. For instance, in baseball, you hold your finger down to pitch and release it at the perfect moment to swing. In high diving, you hold to spin. These microgames break down sports simulation to its most basic elements, making it surprising that a game like Big Time Sports hadn't made its way to mobile devices sooner.

I'm on my way I'm making it

It's interesting to note the contrast between Big Time Sports and another of Frost Pop's recent releases, I Am Your Beast by Strange Scaffold. While the latter offers intense, hardcore gameplay, Big Time Sports provides simple, casual microgames that appeal to gamers of all skill levels. Although Big Time Sports may not be a game that players return to frequently, it offers a neat, visually appealing take on a genre that remains somewhat niche.

For sports enthusiasts, particularly fans of top anime in the sports genre, there's exciting news on the horizon. The iconic volleyball series Haikyu!! is set to launch a new volleyball simulation game on mobile devices worldwide in the near future.
