Trombone Champ developer Holly Wah has added a new, incredibly difficult track: Flight of the Bumblebee.
The piece, for you music nerds, was composed by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov as an interlude to his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan (composed from 1899–1900). It is a notoriously intriguing piece filled with fast, buzzing melodies.
Thankfully, this latest update to the game also adds in a practice mode that lets players reduce the speed by up to 50 percent. Why!
That said, players will get fewer points in practice mode (used to buy Trombone cards) and scores will not be uploaded to online leaderboards.
Further changes include a redesigned character selection screen, which the developer explained on Twitter for UX purposes and to allow for more content in the future.

Multiple packs of cards can now be opened more quickly, completing songs now yields slightly fewer toots, and the “time adjustment” setting is easier to use.
All of these updates are detailed in a new Steam Blog post.
If you haven’t played Trombone Champ yet, I wholeheartedly recommend it – it’s a very silly rhythm game that thrives on the comedy of a nearly impossible challenge.
