Dec. 2024

It scratches that platformer itch but has its problems. There are two modes you can switch between freely: a slow fall mode and a dash mode. You use those modes to collect gems while working your way through the level. The art and the music change with the mode; switching is seamless and feels good. The game difficulty is moderate to hard. On the easier end for platformer veterans and probably a bit difficult for people who only play the odd platformer. There are three bosses. I found them fun and fair but again probably difficult for people who don't play a ton of platformers. To unlock bosses and progress further in the game you need an average rank of three stars on each level in that world. Stars are awarded by collecting gems and having as few deaths as possible in a single run of a level. I didn't have any problems unlocking them but they are locked. So if your the type of player who hates replaying levels over again it will annoy you and you will be locked out of later levels. My annoyances with the game are the colour palette and not having a level restart option. The game looks nice but I find with the colours that some of the gems will blend in with the background making them easy to miss. Unfortunately the same is true of a few obstacles. Some spikes are only active in a certain mode, but sometimes its hard to tell at a glance if the spikes are active or not in your current mode. The game is really good at telling you what mode you need with gems but if you die and return to the last check point that visual clue is gone on later tries. Lastly some of the invincible enemies are hard to tell at a glance. They have spikes to differentiate them from normal enemies but they don't stand out as much as a I would have liked. The no level restart is annoying if you are trying to 100% a level (going for max stars, score, or time) but less of a problem for casual play. If you die or make a mistake and know you can't beat whatever you are trying to you have to exit the level and reenter. Not a huge deal but it quickly gets annoying if you are struggling and have to do it multiple times for the same level. All around I did really have fun with the game. I would recommend it with the caveat of getting it on sale for at least 80% off which it regularly goes on sale for.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams pros: //fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on cons: //a lot of difficult platforming //some lack of directions/instructions //items of significant interest are sometimes at hard to reach places //sometimes combo moves are not responsive //may require game exe setting compatibility mode windows 7 and game launcher graphic setting directx 10 and 11 to prevent crashes //good game Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.49 Or Less During Sale

The very epitome of "fine". At $20, maybe a bit steep, but on sale well worth a romp.

Love this game. the art and colors of the game are superb. i love the level design. along the way the game gets harder, but it starts very slow. The levels are all over the place. this game is an easy recommendation for platform lovers. Mechanics are great and so is the gameplay. Having a blast playing this game.

I finally got around to beating this game! Jesus was it tough, but it is a hell of a lot of fun! The game's soundtrack is a banger too. and it drives the entire game forward as you play. If you love platformers and haven't played this, I think this game is worth checking out! Just be careful when you pilot that bubblegum! That **** has a mind of its own sometimes haha. Also to the developer that decided to have a freaken flaming meteor follow me in the last level... I hope you died 69 times like I did while play testing that...
