Hit Your Dot

Hit Your Dot is a 3D marching band game for computers and phones: one season with the Cedar Hollow Comets, from band camp to the State finals.

Pick your instrument (any of 13 parts, from flute to bass drum, or the color guard with a flag or a rifle) and live the season: two hot weeks of band camp, early-morning rehearsals, Friday nights in the stands, the halftime show, and Saturday contests with the long bus rides and the retreat where every band's score is read out.

• March your drill: steer along your line to your dot while the whole band moves around you. Your speed is automatic: you choose the way, the band keeps the pace. Your part plays and the guard spins and tosses on their own.
• The stands: play the tunes the drum major calls, on the beat, and get the crowd loud enough to rattle the visitors.
• Every morning is different: get ready in the house against the clock (a lost phone, a shirt still in the dryer, a little brother in the bathroom) and make it to rehearsal on time.
• Plan your evenings: homework, practice, friends, family or rest, and how late you stay up, with tomorrow's energy shown before you choose.
• The people of the band: 100 scenes, choices that build friendships and respect (never dating), and a banquet at the end of the season.
• Original music, played on real recorded instruments. Your season saves as you play.

Tell us what you think

Hit Your Dot is new, and your feedback decides what we work on next. Tell us in the comments:

• Does steering to your dot feel good, on a keyboard and on a phone? Could you always tell where to go?
• Are the stands fun, or is playing on the beat too hard?
• Does the story hold up? Who's your favourite person in the band?
• Is getting ready in the morning fun, or a chore after a few days?
• What did you play on (device and browser), and did it run smoothly?
