There's nothing more undignified than having these precious baubles wrenched from your clawed grasp along with the fond memories they represent of victorious conquests long past.

You've worked too hard for your treasure to let it go so easily. When greedy heroes come swarming towards your lair with a little smash and grab in mind, they must be punished most severely.
In Cursed Treasure: Don't Touch My Gems, you're a wrathful overlord seeking to prevent the forces of good from making off with your shiny goodies. Heroes that manage to make it to your pile of precious gems will grab one and hightail it back the way the came. If slain, they'll drop the bauble where they stand, making it easier for the next guy to snag. To beat a level, you have to save at least one of your gems, and you'll earn higher ratings for protecting all of them.
This interesting take on the tower defense genre gives you command of three different fortifications – orc towers, demonic towers, and undead towers – to defend against waves of meddlesome heroes. However, there's a catch: you can only place each kind of tower on the corresponding type of land and only if it has been completely cleared of trees first. Balancing land management and tower placement while guarding against oncoming waves and firing off destructive spells is crazy business. Slaughtering heroes earns you gold for placing and upgrading defenses. Orc towers shoot arrows, demon fortifications shoot blast arcs of fire, and undead towers shoot spectral energy. Each earns experience as it dispatches foes, and there are multiple levels of upgrades available. While it may look like just another tower defense game on the surface, Don't Touch My Gems has enough cool little twists to offer up some hero-smashing fun.
