Get ready to toot, honk, and slide your way to the top of the leaderboards!

Originally a viral sensation and BAFTA-nominated hit, Trombone Champ took the internet by storm with its quirky humor, free form gameplay, and, of course…baboons. Now, Trombone Champ: Unflattened brings the same addictive gameplay and hilarious vibe to virtual reality, offering players a completely new way to experience the Trombiverse. If you’ve ever dreamed of leading your very own brass section (and let’s be honest: who hasn’t?), now’s your chance—don’t let it slide!

Practice, learn and master over 50 tracks, spanning everything from classical anthems to folk classics, and more. The better you play, the more toots you earn! Along the way, you’ll collect all 50 Tromboner Cards, customize your trombone, and maybe—just maybe—uncover the secrets of the Trombiverse and become the ultimate Trombone Champ.

The Toots Shall Set You Free: Core Features at Launch
Trombone Champ: Unflattened isn’t just bringing back the fun from the original game. It’s completely re-imagining the experience for VR. Here’s what you can expect at launch:

• 50+ Tracks: Toot your way through an expansive catalog of music, from iconic classical pieces to funky modern tracks, with three difficulty levels and a simplified mode, all carefully hand-mapped to take full advantage of VR.
• Hilariously Fun Trombones: Start with a single trombone and build your collection as you progress, some with their own unique properties, sounds, and animations—not just cosmetic changes. From a fluffy kitty trombone that meows as you play, to a trombone made of floppy pool noodles, each instrument offers its own unique experience and challenge. Paint, tweak, and personalize your trombones to match your style, with loads more of these crazy instruments to come in future updates.
• Full Custom Track Support: Change the game by creating your own custom track maps and bringing them into the game. Craft your own unique challenges, share them with friends, or play the tracks they’ve created for endless fun.
• Make the Songs Your Own: Unlike other rhythm games where you just react to the beat, Trombone Champ: Unflattened puts the instrument directly in your hands, giving you complete creative control over the music. You’re not just following along—you’re the performer, shaping each note to your own style. Whether you’re mastering tracks or improvising in Improv Mode, this game lets you truly make the song your own, offering a level of creative freedom unique to the genre.
• A Brand New Campaign: Take on an all-new, full campaign mode with exciting challenges that will test your rhythm, timing, and creativity as you work to become the ultimate Trombone Champ. Along the way, unlock hidden surprises and secrets reserved for those who can master the campaign’s toughest challenges.
• Dynamic Environments: Perform in a packed concert hall (that’s been invaded by a circus) where lighting and effects are dynamically mapped to each track, changing based on your performance. As you play, audiences will react in real-time, cheering your successes or cringing at your mistakes. And with brand-new environments planned for post-launch, the stage will continue to evolve as you master your skills.
• Mixed Reality Mode: Experience a truly unique fusion of the virtual and physical worlds on Meta Quest 3/s with mixed reality mode, where you can play your trombone while blending in your real-world surroundings.
