Step right up — one thumb, one haunted machine, one more run. Cursed Carnival is an easy-to-play arcade survivor set in a spooky fairground. A cursed slot machine fights for you — you just move and dodge. Slip between the monsters, scoop up their souls, and clear the toll before the timer runs out. Simple to pick up, hard to put down. Every few rounds a Guardian shows up. Roll through the carousel, the ghost train, the furnace and beyond — see how far you can go. • EASY ONE-THUMB CONTROLS — drag to move and dodge; your machine attacks on its own. • GET STRONGER FAST — pick a perk after every round and level up mid-fight. • BEAT THE GUARDIANS — flashy bosses with attacks you can learn and dodge. • UNLOCK EVERYTHING — spend souls in the Workshop, collect heroes and lights. • PLAY WHEN YOU LIKE — a run costs one ticket. You hold five, and one comes back every 15 minutes on its own. In a hurry? Watch an ad or spend gems — never required. • A FREE CHEST EVERY DAY — one tap, one optional ad, odds written in plain words on screen: tokens, a ticket, gems, or rarely a light. Spend your gems on tickets, on a second chance mid-run, or on the daily half-price collectible. • MODES THAT OPEN UP — Adventure, Campaign and Tour from the start; Endless unlocks once you reach toll 8. Hand-painted, spooky-cute carnival vibes. Quick runs, big combos, just one more go. Free to play. Optional ads & in-app purchases. Plays offline.
