Big Time Sports, a new mobile release from Frost Pop, offers a minimalist approach to sports gaming. Inspired by the 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. While not overly complex, the gameplay is surprisingly engaging, showcasing the enduring appeal of this minimalist style.
The game provides a fascinating contrast to Frost Pop's other recent release, I Am Your Beast. While I Am Your Beast offers intense, hardcore gameplay, Big Time Sports delivers casual, accessible fun. While its replayability might be limited, it's a visually appealing and unique take on a niche genre.
