About Cursed Treasure
This is a HTML5 version of the classic tower defense game, now with mobile devices support. Protect your gems from being stolen by “good” heroes. Play the bad guy - a ruthless Overlord with the combined might of orcs, undead, and demons at your command. Set your defenses and destroy the heroes, always keeping one thing in mind: Don't Touch My Gems!
