Big Time Sports brings microgame athletics to mobile, out now on iOS

Hey batter batter…

• Big Time Sports is one of two new releases from publisher Frost Pop on mobile
• It sees you playing Track & Field-esque microgames
• Each themed after a particular sport or athletic competition like bicycling, weightlifting etc.

When it comes to sports on mobile, although the emphasis nowadays has been on pushing the envelope technically it seems that there’s still a place for minimalism. And that’s clearly demonstrated with the latest release from publisher Frosty Pop, Big Time Sports.

The essence of Big Time Sports is in its spiritual predecessor Track & Field, which if you’ve ever encountered in the wild you’ll know is equal parts fantastic and frustrating. You have simple controls, with each sport functioning as a microgame where you need to perform a straightforward, repetitive movement to succeed. Not exactly complex, but as aforementioned Track & Field fans can attest it’s strangely enticing.

Again, these are all very straightforward. Playing baseball? Hold your finger down to pitch and release it at the right time to swing, hold to spin when high diving, etcetera etcetera. Breaking down sports simulation to its bare essentials it’s a wonder that Big Time Sports hasn’t found its way to mobile sooner.

I’m on my way I’m making it

It’s a fun contrast that one of Frosty Pop’s latest mobile releases, I Am Your Beast by Strange Scaffold, contrasts so well with Big Time Sports. On the one hand, high-octane, hardcore gameplay. On the other simple, casual microgames that even the least dedicated gamer has a chance at succeeding in.

I can’t necessarily see Big Time Sports being something people return to again and again, but for what it is it seems like a neat little, visually pleasing take on a genre that remains still quite niche.

Still, if you do like sports maybe you’re a dedicated fan of some top anime on the subject? And if so you’ll be excited to learn that the iconic volleyball series Haikyu!! has a new volleyball sim coming to mobile worldwide very, very soon!
