## What is Marching Tycoon?

Start with one marcher and build a full marching band program in Marching Tycoon, a quick-check-in idle game with rhythm tapping, staff upgrades, equipment boosts, and season-by-season competitions.

Tap the metronome to earn Reps. Stay on beat to build a streak, then spend your gains on the people and gear that make rehearsal run even when you close the app.

Your program grows through:

- Rhythm taps with timing streaks
- Staff hires that keep rehearsal moving
- Equipment that boosts every tap
- New marchers across the ensemble
- Offline progress between check-ins
- Seasonal competitions, medals, and long-term upgrades

Marching Tycoon is made for players who like idle progress, marching band jokes, numbers going up, and the satisfying moment when a tiny rehearsal block turns into a packed field.

Take the field, build the program, and see how far one marcher can go.
