Watch the hardest Guitar Hero song being aced in Trombone Champ

What's the hardest Guitar Hero song? And what if it was completely unironically destroyed in rhythm game Trombone Champ? Well, you'd then have the below video that showcases some seriously impressive dedication and skill, and is as simultaneously outlandish as it is mystifying.

First batch of accessibility improvements is live!

We just pushed v1.06, which fixes a small few bugs and tweaks a few things behind the scenes, but mostly adds a new Accessibility settings panel. We're fully aware that the game isn't anywhere near fully accessible, but this should help some people!



We're starting with five main accessibility options:
  • Minimizing jumpscares: This was already in the game, but has been moved to this new popup.
  • Minimize flashing & screen effects: Greatly reduces the strength of flashing and moving screen effects that appear throughout the game, with the exception of opening and closing cinematics.
  • Remove song backgrounds: Completely removes backgrounds from gameplay.
  • Reduce chest clicks: Dramatically reduces the number of clicks required to open chests. A number of people have complained that the 99 clicks are physically strenuous.
  • Adjust hatches: For users who are completely unable to achieve S scores for any reason, this allows them to unlock everything anyways. Checking this option adjusts the rules that determine whether or not the latch can be opened.


We'd like to add more in the future - especially alternate control methods. Stay tuned!

Thank you for playing!

Tootmaster Tom has returned!

New Track: "Jarabe Tapatio," The Mexican Hat Dance!



We just pushed an update which brings the game to v1.05! It adjusts a few very tiny things, but mostly adds a new track: "Jarabe Tapatio," known in English as The Mexican Hat Dance!

This is a fiendishly difficult track, and should really test the skills of the ultra-hardcore rhythm gamers out there.

We hope you enjoy it! Many many more updates to come!

Trombone Champ is an indie rhythm game that just keeps blowing us all away. When Chris Livingston first started posting videos of his attempts at the game, the PC Gamer chat was full of laughter. Those hilarious bad notes coupled with his over enthusiastic avatar and a screen that flashes up 'NASTY' to mock your attempts is simple comedy brass...
