Trombone Champ (yes, it's exactly what you think)

[layten]

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I reckon we have our GOTY nailed on here.

 

Edit:

 

[deKay]

Didn't this come out in 2020? So GOTY 2020 surely.

[layten]

[Siri]

Yeah, it's been worked on for ages, but 1.0 came out on the 16th.

 

I bought it yesterday. It's absolutely absurd, and I don't think I'll ever get an S Rank outside of Zarathustra, but it's a hoot. Toot. Fuck

But that makes sense why the interest now suddenly.

[schmojo]

Is it VR compatible? And, if not, why would they miss such a perfect opportunity?

[jonathanhoey]

"Trombone Champ is a music game that lets you play a real, physical trombone."

 

But I don't OWN a real, physical trombone. 

 

(edited to add: that was a reference to this:)

Nasty! What's the control scheme?

[RipePlums]

Ah cool, Holy Wow are the ones that did Icarus Proudbottom. I was worried they were dead - nice to see them still going.

Or at the very least a motion controlled switch version.

[Rex Grossman]

Ban this sick flith.

[smac]

I don't think I have laughed so much at anything posted in here for at least a decade.

[Art Vandelay]

When I read it was a tromboning simulator I'll have to be honest this isn't exactly where my mind went first.

[cassidy]

Is Riker a playable character? 

[Parappa]

Almost the sequel we always wanted 😃

I'm in floods of tears at the Sousa one.

[robdood]

Is it mouse to control the 'dot'?  I can't fathom how it works if not! 

 

PS 10/10 looks incredible. 

[Mr Majestyk]

That was hilarious! They deserve money just for reducing me to tears of laughter. PARP! 

[Timmo]

Fans of this should check out Shittyfluted.

One of my very favourite games. It's magnificient. It and Gradius V are the reasons I will never part with my PS2.

 

Also, that video in the first post had me in stitches. Can't remember another game trailer that did that. 

[Popo]

In the genre of honk-em-up, this might be better than Untitled Goose Game. 

[cassidy]

Game sounds hilarious mind.  Reminds me of the Jurassic park trailer with the out of tune orchestra.

Correct! Mouse to move the pointer, and then click the mouse (or press any button on the keyboard) to doot. I think the Devs recommend using the keyboard for dooting to reduce strain.

 

As I mentioned in the Steam Deck thread, you can translate the mouse movement to either the trackpads, or the gyro with community profiles.

 

EDIT: I don't think this is mentioned yet, but I believe the plan is that they'll release more tunes, apparently completely free.

 

Now that I've played it, I think it's a bit of a misstep. I'd pay a high price for a licensed 90s ska pack.

 

Or DJ Timmy Trumpet's "Freaks" just for the meme that included it in the first place.

[milko]

has it got the Johnny Briggs theme?

[layten]

I need to do something more productive with my time than watch Trombone Champ videos, but it's proving tricky.

  

[Stig]

This is a lot of fun, quite tricky on harder leveks but feels very limited. I hope they or the community release more tracks.

 

It's much easier with a mouse than the SteamDeck track pad, although it's a lot easier to focus on incoming notes on the smaller SD screen.

My own attempt at the William Tell Overture was the most distressing sound I have ever heard.  🤣
