Spirits of Christmas is a tower-defense-esque adventure by Bagofnuts.
Mechanics[]
Units can be summoned by hanging their decorations upon the Christmas tree. There are no hard and fast stats, simply abilities of units. There is a limit to the number of ornaments which can be placed in one turn, but this can be increased with Vines.
Also, the Band is a chiefly non-offensive support group whose power increases as they become numerous. By adding more members, the Band as a whole gets more abilities which also become more potent.
Plot[]
Susie is left to decorate the Christmas Tree by herself,
