Happy New Year! We’re kicking things off with a brand-new, FREE content update for Trombone Champ: Unflattened. There’s so many juicy things we’ve packed into this update and can’t wait for you all to try them.
Custom Songs: Scan & Jam
We’ve introduced a custom song-scanning feature that automatically detects any custom tracks you’ve downloaded on Quest. No more fussing around in folders—just open the game, press a button and you’ll see your custom songs ready to play!
Plus, we’ve added a handy “Custom Songs” album to the campaign menu so you can jump right to those.
New Outdoor Environment!
Step out into a gorgeous, snowy landscape—all without freezing your lips! This fresh, frosty environment is available now, and is the base to a whole series of outdoor environments we’ll be expanding to.
New Trombones & Community-Favorite Sounds
You asked for it, and we delivered: brand-new trombones have arrived, including a much-requested community favorite. We won’t spoil all the fun—but it has something to do with beans! A new mythical creature has also appeared along with a new fish trombone!
Introducing “Pitch Assist”
We’ve added a Pitch Assist option to the Settings menu, so even if you suck, your trombone playing won’t make you deaf. This feature is completely optional and won’t affect your high scores, so feel free to turn it on (or off) whenever you like. Perfect for streaming your best performances to the world.
Goodbye “Simplified,” Hello “Unflattened” Mode
We realized “Simplified mode” might have sounded too… simple and some players were ignoring it. So we renamed it to “Unflattened mode.” These maps were hand-mapped to really take advantage of Unfalttened’s VR mechanics to the fullest and some are some of the most fun ways to play the songs. Even if you’re a pro player, definitely give the “Unflattened mode” a chance!
