TzinPhalanx
Lead a phalanx of hoplites down a 3D track through Greek myth! Go through the gates that multiply you (+, ×) and avoid the ones that shrink you (−, ÷), beat armies of satyrs, Hades skeletons and centaurs, dodge saws, hammers, rolling columns and gaps, and at the end build a tower on the ladder of Olympus for up to ×5 coins. 5 worlds (Olympus, Crete – the Labyrinth, Troy, Hades, Atlantis), a guardian every 5 levels (Cyclops, Minotaur, Titan), upgrades, helmets, shields, a colour wheel and an Acropolis you build piece by piece.
How to play
Goal: Reach the end of the level with the biggest phalanx you can. Every pair of gates changes the number of your hoplites: go through the better one (blue = good, red = bad). In battles both armies lose one by one, so you need more soldiers than the enemy. Obstacles (saws, hammers, columns, weights, walls, gaps) knock down whoever they touch: keep the phalanx on the free side. At the end the phalanx climbs the ladder of Olympus (×1 to ×5 coins), and every 5 levels it fights a guardian. Spend coins on upgrades (starting army, income, Shield of Athena), helmets and shields, and build the Acropolis.

Frequently asked questions
Is TzinPhalanx free?
Yes, completely free, with no ads and no real-money purchases. You only earn coins by playing.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, in portrait or landscape, with nothing to install. Drag your finger left and right to lead the phalanx.
How do the gates work?
Each gate applies an operation to the number of your hoplites: +N and ×2/×3 grow it, −N and ÷2 shrink it. You go through one of the two each time, so read the numbers before you choose.
How many levels are there?
More than 100, across 5 worlds (Olympus, Crete, Troy, Hades, Atlantis), and every one is guaranteed to be solvable. Every 5 levels a guardian appears: a Cyclops, a Minotaur or a Titan. There is also a daily challenge worth +300 coins.
What is the Acropolis?
A monument you build with your coins in 12 pieces: the sacred rock, the steps, the columns, the roof, the statue of Athena, the Propylaea, the olive tree and the banners.
Is my progress saved?
Yes, in your browser (level, coins, upgrades, helmets, shields, Acropolis), with no account. Clearing your browser data erases it.
