How co-op works
Up to four players share a single screen in local co-op, piloting gunships through bullet-hell stages while reviving downed allies and coordinating special abilities to survive dense enemy patterns.
About this game
Jamestown+ reimagines the colonial era as an interplanetary conflict on Mars, blending historical fiction with arcade shoot-em-up intensity. Players take control of customizable gunships, each with unique weapons and special abilities, to defend the British colony against relentless waves of Spanish and alien invaders across vivid, scroll-driven levels.

Combat revolves around dodging intricate bullet patterns while managing a shared Vaunt meter that rewards aggressive play with temporary invincibility and score multipliers. Fallen teammates can be revived mid-stage by flying over their position, creating constant tension between risk and rescue. Difficulty tiers and optional challenges let groups tailor the intensity to their collective skill.
Story missions unlock new ships and difficulty modifiers, while Gauntlet mode offers extended survival runs with rotating objectives. The single-screen format keeps every player visible, making callouts and split-second coordination essential as patterns grow denser and bosses fill the screen with projectiles.
