We just pushed v1.03 live, which begins to fix a handful of issues and adds a new track - Rosamunde, aka "Beer Barrel Polka!" Hope everyone enjoys the updates! We have a lot more fixes coming down the pipeline soon!
Hoping to drop v1.03 of Trombone Champ tomorrow! It's basically all set... just need to test it slightly more to double-check that it doesn't break anything. Main things:
- A tweak to make short notes more forgiving (work-in-progress, but an improvement)
- ✨A Secret✨
The world's first trombone rhythm game is instantly a GOTY contender. And no, I'm not kidding. Turn up the volume and hear Beethoven like you've never heard it before. https://trib.al/pFwvN8z
In case you missed it, there is a bespoke Max Tundra track in this brand new game, in which you can play a virtual trombone along to it. Get tootin'! twitter.com/HolyWowStudios…
As a heads-up, we plan to update Trombone Champ ASAP to deal with a gameplay quirk lots of people mention: the difficulty of very short notes! It's easy to break a nice combo when you hit a string of short notes. Luckily, we have a good idea how to fix this!
Can toby fox and the GTA6 leaker PLEASE wait until "𝓣𝓻𝓸𝓶𝓫𝓸𝓷𝓮 𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓶𝓹 𝓦𝓮𝓮𝓴𝓮𝓷𝓭" is over before doing your thing. Our cats eat very expensive food and every trombone dollar matters
Secret functionality in Trombone Champ: If you press the backslash key in the "Free Improvisation" screen, you can toggle fuschia or green backgrounds. This allows you to easily key out the background and make funny videos!
We should also note that there's a changelog included in the game files, if you're curious! We will likely adjust the title screen to display this information in an upcoming update.
We just pushed v1.02 for Trombone Champ, which should fix what was (hopefully!) the most obvious and annoying bug: the "master volume" setting being ignored during gameplay sequences. Apologies for this one!
🚨STEAM CLOUD SAVES have been activated for Trombone Champ! This will especially help people who play on Steam Deck, as your saves should transfer between PCs and Steam Deck.
... And an interesting factoid: "I'm a Little Teapot" is apparently NOT public domain, which is why it doesn't appear in the final game. There were a lot of songs we were planning to include, but had to abandon for various reasons...
We also have a long list of updates planned for after launch, which we will detail as soon as possible. Version 1.00 is a lot smoother than the playtest version, but there's still a lot we plan to add!
UK followers: Should we change this to "king?" Honestly not sure how this works. The game launches one week from today and our goal is to be as respectful as possible🙏
Request: If you tested Trombone Champ on a super-widescreen monitor, AND took a screenshot or video of what it looked like, please send it via DM! Or if you can just illustrate what it looked like, that works too! Thank you! 🙏
