Extra Credit with Professor Mark Sivak! 📝
Here I share something design or tech related from the week for those looking for just a little extra credit.
|
|

This week I may be showing you something you have already seen because of how viral it was. Behold Trombone Champ! This is a PC game rhythm game where you play a Trombone and honestly that is pretty much it. If you have ever player Rockband or any other rhythm game it will probably look familiar. But I encourage you to watch a few videos of people playing it and try not to laugh.

The trombone is a hilarious instrument, and the Sad Trombone is something you have probably heard before. Now from a design perspective, this game is hilarious because it is difficult. Players have to get both the tone and the start and stop correctly but the results are just funny, it is a joy to be bad at this game at least for a little while.
