Giana's Return

Post by Pater Alf »

An unofficial sequel of "The Great Giana Sisters", a true classic from the 8-bit era and one of the best platform games of all times.

"Evil Swampy and his followers have stolen the magic ruby, which made it once possible for Giana and Maria to return from their dream. Many creatures are after this ruby, but does it really has power, or was it just a coincidence? As this is not bad enough, Swampy fell in love at first sight with Giana’s sister Maria and shamelessly kidnapped her. She simply has been at the wrong place at the wrong time.You will now have to take on the role of Giana and get back the magic ruby. And most important of all, save your beloved sister Maria and get home save! Good Luck!" (taken from the official homepage)

Plays a lot like the "The Great Giana Sisters"(and that might be the biggest commendation for a fan sequel)!
Graphics are cute and colourful and the music bears a resemblance to the the original soundtrack and that way helps to put you into a nostalgic mood.

Some people might not that Giana and the enemies vanish in the background very often, but I would say it's part of the concept and if I remember correctly it was the same in the original game.

Game is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
