Big Time Sports Launches Microgame Athletics on iOS

by Camila Apr 01,2025

When it comes to sports on mobile, the trend has been leaning towards technical advancements, yet there's still a strong appeal for minimalist games. This is evident with Frost Pop's latest release, Big Time Sports, which brings a nostalgic nod to the classic Track & Field game.

Big Time Sports captures the essence of its spiritual predecessor by offering simple, yet engaging microgames themed around various sports and athletic competitions such as bicycling, weightlifting, and more. The gameplay is straightforward: for instance, in baseball, you hold your finger down to pitch and release at the perfect moment to swing, or hold to spin during a high dive. These mechanics strip sports simulation down to their core, making it surprising that such a concept hasn't hit mobile devices sooner.

ytI'm on my way I'm making itFrost Pop's other recent release, I Am Your Beast by Strange Scaffold, offers a stark contrast to Big Time Sports. While I Am Your Beast delivers high-octane, hardcore gameplay, Big Time Sports provides simple, casual microgames that are accessible even to those less dedicated to gaming.

Although Big Time Sports might not be a game that players return to repeatedly, it offers a visually pleasing and neat take on a niche genre. If you're a sports enthusiast, particularly a fan of sports-themed anime, you'll be thrilled to know that the iconic volleyball series Haikyu!! is set to launch a new volleyball simulation game on mobile devices worldwide very soon.
