Funny Trombone Game is actually good.

Trombone Champ feels like that one charity shop PS2 game you got when you were on holiday in Norwich, the humour comes from the absurdity of its mechanics, but it's actually very competently designed.

The humour doesn't just end at "shite sounding rhythm game" either, with a fair amount of progression and some funny writing.

Trombone Champ é um jogo que acabou ficando com um gosto meio contraditório pra mim.

De um lado, ele é um jogo rítmico com bastante desafio por causa de seus controles analógicos e que demanda bastante treino para a maestria. Dito isso, não tem tantas personalizações que não sejam cosméticas e toda a parte de conteúdo feito por usuários é por mods (ou seja, não nativo).

Por outro lado, ele sabe que é um meme e se esforça pra isso. Mesmo ir mal numa música é engraçado, pelo menos nas três primeiras vezes. Se você viu no Twitter um vídeo do jogo e quis experimentar a loucura, realmente ela esta lá e o jogo sabe disso. Uma pena que 90% das piadas está por trás de muitas horas de jogatina (ou de um desempenho fantástico, que afasta quem tá só pelo meme).

Pra mim, foi uma experiência até que legal, mas consigo ver ele decepcionar ambos os públicos por não saber muito bem quem quer agradar.

Trombone Champ is probably best played in a party setting, as to start with especially to people unaware of what they're about to see it can be funny.

However, that kinda dies down very, and I mean very, fast.
It's pretty much standard rhythm type game, though I found it way more lenient and you don't have to have pinpoint accuracy when hitting notes - so long as you end on the correct spot you're all good.

I've finished all tracks so I'm counting that as a complete and 'Maybe probably will never return to'

A hilarious game to break out with a few friends, and a respectable, if simple, rhythm game in its own right. The scoring system focuses on your pitch more than your actual rhythm, which complements the comedic gameplay pretty well and is pretty unique, even if ultimately I find more timing-based rhythm games to be more compelling.

I didn't care much for the "story" elements, but among a bit of lame humor there are some funny bits.

When I was a kid, I always wanted a theramin for some reason. Playing this game is kinda how I imagined it would be like to play a theramin. I think that's worth something!

TOOT TOOT

THIS GAME FUCKING RIPS WOOOOO

Genuinely the funniest concept for a video game. Not only is the wonky honks from a middle school trombone player really funny, but there’s a hidden narrative filled with baboons, hotdogs, and a mf named Trazom. Best game of 2022. Eat rocks Elden Ring.
