Cursed Treasure: Level Pack! is a Tower Defense game. Protect your gems from being stolen in this expansion pack to Cursed Treasure: Don't Touch My Gems!. The gameplay and upgrades are exactly the same as in the original game, but the 15 levels in this expansion pack are new.

Gameplay[]

The game is a tower defense game and the object of the game is to prevent the enemies from taking your gems. The enemies has to pick up a gem and carry it back to the exit for the player to lose the gem. The player only needs one gem to remain on the screen in order to win a level, but in order to achieve a Brilliant rating on a level the monsters cannot touch any of the gems. There are two resources for the player to spend, gold and mana. The player gains gold from killing enemies and it is spent on building towers and upgrading them. Mana is gained automatically over time and it is used for casting spells. If a tower is built on a tile with mana on it, mana regeneration is increased.

There are three types of towers, Dens, Crypts and Temples. Each of them can only be built on one type of tile which means that the mission map determines what towers you can build where. Dens can only be built on Grass tiles, Crypts can only be built on Snow tiles and Temples can only be built on Rock tiles. Towers gain xp from killing enemies. Once a tower has enough xp to level up, the player can spend gold on leveling up that tower. On a tower's third level upgrade, the player can choose which upgrade path that tower should take. Each tower type can upgrade to two different kinds of towers.

There are three available spells. The Cut Out spell removes forest on a single tile so towers can be built on that tile, the Frenzy spell increases the Fire rate of all towers for five seconds and the Meteor spell causes damage to a selected area.

There are 21 in-game achievements that can be accomplished by killing enemies, upgrading towers, using spells, learning skills, leveling up and by getting high level ratings.
