Here comes MurderSantaTeam (name picked on the spot). Our game is a combination of the “tower defense” and RTS genres. The game consists of just one map, with many waves of enemies (unlimited) and a present box (that’s the base, really). We didn’t have any special ideas regarding the jam theme, just the obvious one: put everything on the screen. And since it’s almost christmas time, we added some candy bars, jellybeans and chocolate.
CONTROLS: mouse left - select units mouse middle - move camera. mouse right - move units. there are 3 buttons to spawn troops.
And shortcuts (for lazy players): WASD / arrows - move camera 1/2/3 - spawn troops
Now, in case you wonder what you need to do to win the game, the answer is simple: YOU CAN’T, MUHAHAHA (evil laugh …) This is a survival game; the point is to survive as many enemy waves as possible (more than 2-3 would be great).
With that said, have fun :)
PS. sadly, none of us was a 3D artist, so we had to use some free 3D models from web. So we disabled the Graphics rating :(
Looks quite fun , and i like graphics, i would only suggest you to increase camera angle a little bit, just maybe 10 degrees, maybe its just me but i dont like straight vertical view.
It's not really clear who your guys are or, initially, where they spawn. Also, the first wave seems to include five times the number of troops you're able to spawn in the same amount of time.
also, as a Unity game it shouldn't be too hard to publish this as a web game. You'd get more exposure too. Free gaming hosts can be found in the FAQ: http://ludumdare.com/compo/faq/
Nice execution but I feel this doesn't really capture the jam's theme. I like the fact that you can control your summons. RTS movement and controls feel pretty slick too.
I like how the game looks and the fact that you are defending a huge present! It was a bit hard to see what my units were doing and I eventually got overwhelmed trying to defend. Neat little game!

we added a web version on kongragate ... hope it works :)
sorry :|
you can still play on the web :)
The gameplay is good, but I don't see how it really relates to the theme.
