Last Jungle In Sector 17 is a top-down space shooter. It tells a story of a spacecraft pilot Ryder and his associate, an advanced artificial intelligence - Johnny. Together they must struggle for survival on a forgotten space station. Latter being their only home and shelter in the vast expanse of space, unfortunately also the main target of the enemy.

They start out with nothing but a single fighter craft, though as the events progress they gain access to defense turrets, tactical structures, allied crafts (piloted by Johnny) and different upgrades. All of that gives them some edge against an enemy who's strength is mainly in numbers, but also in crafts specifically designed for destruction and obliteration.

In ljis17 the player can choose between many play styles and stick with whichever suits him best, but in the end, the only path to success is a well thought out strategy.
