In the world of mobile sports games, where the focus often leans towards pushing technical boundaries, there's a refreshing nod to minimalism with Frost Pop's latest release, Big Time Sports. This game harks back to the iconic Track & Field, blending nostalgia with simplicity in a series of microgames themed around various sports and athletic competitions such as bicycling and weightlifting.
Big Time Sports captures the essence of its spiritual predecessor with straightforward controls. Each sport is distilled into a microgame requiring simple, repetitive movements to succeed. Whether you're pitching in baseball by holding and releasing at the perfect moment, or spinning during a high dive, the mechanics are intuitive yet strangely captivating, much like Track & Field. It's surprising that this stripped-down approach to sports simulation hasn't made its way to mobile sooner.

Frost Pop's portfolio showcases an interesting contrast with their other recent release, I Am Your Beast by Strange Scaffold. While the latter offers high-octane, hardcore gameplay, Big Time Sports provides simple, casual microgames accessible to gamers of all dedication levels.
Although Big Time Sports might not be a game that players revisit frequently, it stands out as a visually pleasing and neat take on a genre that remains somewhat niche. If you're a sports enthusiast, particularly a fan of top anime sports series, you'll be thrilled to know that the iconic volleyball series Haikyu!! is set to launch a new volleyball simulation on mobile worldwide in the near future.
