Tooting up a storm on the internet is the recently releasedTrombone Champ.

It’s a music rhythm game where you play a trombone.

Sounds simple, right?

You’d be wrong.

The story is silly (you gotta toot and improve so you get approval from a baboon?)

but the game knows it’s not intended to be serious and rolls with it well.

Trombone Champ aims to emulate every part of playing a trombone.

This is where Trombone Champ truly shines in comparison to other rhythm games.

you’ve got the option to play any pitch at any time.

A note doesn’t need to be within range of the hit-zone for you to make sound.

Another thing that distinguishes Trombone Champ is the sliding.

So long as you have enough breath to complete the phrase, you’re good!

Yes, there’s a breath meter to contend with too.

I consider myself decent at classical music.

You earn toots for playing tracks, which are then used to buy sacks.

Each sack contains four cards, which are the game’s collectibles.

you’re free to sell duplicates of cards for turds.

I don’t know what those are meant for yet, however.

A roadmap posted by developerHoly Wowlays out what updates are planned next.

If I knew how to edit video, I would definitely be putting Sweep in this game.
