Trombone Champ
It turns out being exquisitely crafted isn’t always what you want in a game. Sometimes you want QWOP and Guitar Hero to have a bastard mutant child, and then enjoy flailing incompetently at “playing” trombone along to famous tunes. Trombone Champ is astoundingly difficult to play well, but constantly hilarious to play badly, and that’s its secret sauce. That, and Nintendo Mii-like art, idiotically false facts on loading screens, and a general sense of all-permeating joy.
