This game is unironically great. Like it isn't just a stupid comedy game, but also a great rhythm game. It is genuinely a fun time trying to toot in rhythm and pitch to the music, even if it can feel impossible at times. Heck it feeling impossible just adds to the comedy of the game, which I must say is quite great. Like they almost certainly could've used a trombone sound that sounded ya know... good, but instead they decided on this awful sound, which just makes the songs sound so incredibly stupid it's incredible. All the weird baboon/hot dog shit is just the cherry on top.

I do have some complaints with the switch version though. First off, it did freeze on my a few times when I earned some the rewards (like the trombone colors). Also I only saw one joke on the loading screen throughout the entire game. Neither is a big deal, but are certainly annoyances. What is kind of a big problem is that the tilt controls constantly drifted to the point where I essentially pointing the switch screen at the ground or 180 degrees away from my face. I often had to pause to recalibrate 2 or 3 times during some of the songs. Outside of calibration the motion controls worked really good actually, but constantly having to recalibrate definitely sucked. Honestly may have given this game a 5/5 if it weren't that one control issue, as I do think this game achieves exactly what it is going for. So probably play the PC version, if that is available for you.

i never played it, but it's a funny game, I watched videos of this game and it looks really fun

mesmo gostando de jogos de ritmo esse jogo não me pegou, tem essa ideia engraçada pra chamar a atenção, mas a gameplay é bem sem graça

funniest rhythm game of all time

Great rhythm game, tons of personality, albeit most of the song selection is public domain
The controls are extremely difficult but that's on purpose, but don't worry if you do bad you'll at least get a B


j'ai 100% le jeu je suis le roi du trombone regarde maman

The game surprises with its unconventionality and surprising approach to entertainment. Although it may seem strange at first glance, playing the trombone with real tones quickly proves to be an extremely fun and interesting experience.

In "Trombone Champ," you won't find traditional dialogues or a storyline in the traditional sense of the word. Instead, players take on the role of a talented trumpeter who competes in various musical challenges using real trumpet tones. This approach not only allows players to experience music in a completely new way but also to develop their musical skills in an enjoyable and humorous manner.

Despite its uniqueness, "Trombone Champ" also offers a certain form of storyline. Although it may not be as elaborate as in other games, it still provides a certain context and motivation for players to continue their musical journey.

This was a great time for about 2 minuets

It has the Spider-Man 2's High Silk Hat theme song, so it's good.

Funny fun rhythm game that loses it's novelty once it stops becoming funny. Not hating or anything, this is a really well made game. But the only staying power it really has compared to other rhythm games is the modding scene. The gameplay alone isn't as satisfying as other rhythm games. It has a unique premise though so I will commend the devs for coming up with something original. Only get this if you wanna see cool modded in versions of your favourite songs, with a trombone twist. Having said that, I only recommend the PC version for the mods.

A decent rhythm game with a funny plot.

I bought this game as a joke. I saw the videos and it looked funny. And you know what? It was funny. What I did not expect was for it to be a genuinely fun rhythm game that I loved playing so much that I would put in the time to 100% it.

I got the game on PC first when all the funny videos were circulating, but it wasn’t until the Switch version came out that I really got into it. I busted it out when we had friends over and the four of us were in stitches playing the 4-player local multiplayer. Some of the most fun I’ve had playing couch co-op with friends. After we had our fun, I found myself coming back to it for a few hours a day wanting to “just play one more song” until suddenly I was trying to collect every card and unlock every item in my pursuit of the secret ending.

I can’t believe I loved the funny trombone meme game so much that I 100%’d it.

+ Funny tootin’
+ Good rhythm game actually?
+ Great local multiplayer
+ Plenty to unlock

Neat rhythm game, neater "campaign". Worth checking out on sale for the strange progression alone.

Fun but man is it damn difficult.

It's just as silly and memey as advertised. But the controls worked surprisingly well, so it was fun as a one-off play session. Wouldn't play it more than that though lol.

The love child of Guitar Hero, Miis, and middle school band.

I've gotten an A on Martians Killbots, that's my favorite. I've done nothing with my turds.

An authentic middle school band experience.

A great laugh if you have played rhythm games in the past.

o jogo consegue ter algo a mais além de ser uma bobajada de tuiter, divertido tentar o 100% e sempre legal voltar pra ver as musicas novas, só deveria ser mais pa pum pra adicionar musica custom

Best rhythm game?

It offers a great selection of songs, and you can add a dozen more with mods.

I may or may not have grinded high scores for this too xD


Genuinely fantastic subversion of expectations, fully expected this to just be a mediocre new rhythm game.

Trombone Champ ist gut und steht sich doch sehr stark im Weg. Ich hasse und liebe es.

Wir haben hier ein einfacheres Rhythmus Spiel als Taiko no Tatsujin. Das find ich persönlich angenehm. Alles was man machen muss ist, Taste drücken und den Ton von oben nach unten regulieren in dem man die Maus hin und her zieht.

Leider ist der Ulk-Faktor hier und da zu hoch. Ein Glück, ist das Spiel von Update zu Update darum bemüht es so gut wie möglich für JEDEN zugänglich zu machen. Grelle Farben und Bloom Effekt können eingestellt werden. Man will nicht für die Töne drücken sondern nur die Maus hin und her bewegen? Ja kann man einstellen. Farben sind nicht so deins, weil Farbenblindheit? Es gibt Abhilfe. UND SO WEITER UND SO WEITER. Natürlich gibt es dann auch die Möglichkeit die Verzögerung des Eingabegeräts zu Kalibrieren, wenn eine Latenz vorhanden sein sollte. Wirklich wunderbar!
ABER HALT DER ULK! Die Story, die man nebenbei durchspielen kann, besteht nur aus Quatsch. Ich mag ihn eher weniger. So besteht es viel aus Pipi-Kacka Humor und der finale Boss kann nur durch wirklich wirklich dummen Einstellungen und Anforderungen bezwungen werden und nicht durch Skill. Es ist nunmal doof?!
Mich stört leider außerdem, dass man zwar in der Songauswahl immer sehr, wie man den Song abgeschlossen hat. Jedoch ist die Anzeige von "S" die Höchste. Ein Perfekt beherrschter Song wird gar nicht erst angezeigt sondern es steht weiterhin nur "S" da. Anstatt dass es mit einem Sternchen oder so noch symbolisiert wird? Es kommen Fragen auf. Mmmmm. Hinzu kommt, dass man Songs nicht favorisieren kann, wodurch man diese schneller findet. Bei gut 60 Songs schnell seine Favoriten zu finden, wird gerne zu Qual, falls man wirklich nur mal eine schnelle Runde spielen möchte.
Auch ist die Lernkurve etwas... gewöhnungsbedürftig. JA ich wurde von Song zu Song besser. So erwarte ich es auch. Aber 3 Tage das Spiel nicht gespielt und schon fühlte ich mich plötzlich, als hätte ich Fahrradfahren verlernt. Liegt es an mir? Ich bin mir unsicher. Immer wenn ich bei Taiko no Tatsujin eine Pause von 1 oder 2 Wochen oder gar mal einen Monat mache und dann wieder zu einem Song zurück kehre, bei dem ich eine bestimmte Sequenz nicht geschafft habe, packe ich die dann. Hier ist es nicht der Fall. Hier bin ich oftmals viel viel schlechter als beim letzten Versuch vor 3 Tagen. Das sagt einiges über Lernkurve und Handling des Spiels aus.
Der Preis ist dennoch gut Angemessen und ich freue mich, wenn irgendwann der Patch mit Songeditor kommt und die Community - hoffentlich - coole Songs zur Verfügung stellt.
Zukünftig dann noch bei den Songs verschiedene Schwierigkeitsgrade hinzufügen. Meinetwegen auch erst beim nächsten Projekt des Entwicklers, wenn es einem bei dem Genre weiter wurmt coole Spiele zu droppen.

Weiter machen.

Its inviting premise and simple, goofy charms give way to a playfully perplexing "campaign" for those who stick around once the laughter has died down. Also, it's just an excellent digital toy.
