Our take on Jash
The page stresses surprises and gameplay beyond shooting, but gives few concrete examples of how those sections work. That makes the game’s broader adventure structure harder to assess than its ship combat, bosses, and Survival Mode.
What is Jash?
Jash is a 3D side-scrolling action game centered on piloting the Captain’s ship through space and other settings.
Its main play involves fighting unusual enemies and using an additional weapon called The Force. The game also includes situations beyond standard shoot-'em-up stages, with the Captain able to address the player during play. Boss encounters, references, and other surprises appear throughout the adventure. Completing the game unlocks additional content. A separate Survival Mode includes a leaderboard. Jash is presented as the first game in a planned trilogy, with later entries intended to use different styles.
