Trombone Champ (2022)

The original PC game turns mouse travel into a trombone slide: move to change pitch, then click or use a keyboard key to sound the note. Small overshoots become audible comedy, but shaping a recognisable phrase takes genuine control. No microphone or brass instrument is needed. The inverted pitch direction imitates a real slide, with an alternative setting if that feels unnatural. Leave enough mouse space for sustained phrases; this is a different control system from the separate VR game Unflattened.
