Trombone Champ is a game that came out of nowhere to become one of the best sellers on Steam, and it’s not because you can live the dream of playing the trombone. Well, maybe for some people it is, but most seem to be enjoying some silly, mismatched fun.
Developed by Holy Wow, Trombone Champ is a rhythm game in the vein of Guitar Hero, but instead of pounding away at heavier rock riffs, players can enjoy the sweet sounds of a trombone playing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”. O’ Canada” and “The Star-Spangled Banner”.
Due to the fun premise of the game, players have been jumping on the game making it number 15 on Steam’s best selling games list in its first week of release. It’s also one of the best streaming games on Twitch.
Where can I buy Trombone Champ?
Trombone Champ is currently only available on Steam and costs $15.
How it works?
Players can use a mouse or a controller to move the cursor up and down the screen corresponding to the notes of the more than 20 songs available. The more accurate and on time the notes are with the music, the higher the score. Players will need to be aware of how many notes they are playing as they may run out of breath. And unlike other music games, Trombone Champ keeps the music even if it’s not accurate.
There are also 50 Tromboner cards to collect and some other game secrets.
