Honk your way to greatness

One community member,Gloomhonk, has risen to legend status for theircreative and hilarious clips, likethis takeon Don’t Stop Believin’ where you enrage the guitarist by bogarting all the solos. Or more recently, their version of theHelldivers 2main theme. Now, they’ve set their talents to creating custom backdrops for new tracks for players to go bell-to-bumper against each other in this year’sTootTally community championship.

The championship - which is soon entering its finals - sees players compete for a crowdsourced prize pool. It’s currently sitting at 1000 USD - enough to buy five of the cheapest trombones I could find and declare sonic armageddon on your unsuspecting neighbours. Or maybe not, maybe they’re cool. Maybe they also own five trombones. Maybe they’ll join in. Maybe you could start the world’s most trombone-heavy ska band. Actually, don’t do that. Just playTrombone Champinstead.

It’s even better if you’re bad at it,reckonedAlice 0 (RPS in peace). “In games likeGuitar Hero, fumbling a note can cause a wince-inducing stringslap or feedback shriek…it’s great in Trombone Champ when I fumble a note then the game makes a silly noise and pushes me to tootle on without worry.”
