When idols die - legends are born!
More than 25 years ago Armin Gessert developed with GIANA SISTERS one of the first Jump'n Run games for the Commodore 64. The console manufacturers got anxious and tried to stop the sisters. The end seemed close. But they failed and GIANA SISTERS with packaging has become a rare collector's item.

Ehh its ok

Wanted to love it but its just not enjoyable. Everything just feels tight and bad. You constantly hit your head and plunge to your death because of the blocks and character size. Jumps are horrible. Maybe thats how the game originally was but its no fun. Hate how it jumps continuously when you hold jump button it causes deaths as well. And wall bugs are still there. Levels are very short but there is A lot of them but its all the same very redundant. If your looking to remember how games were back then i can recommend. All in all Giana sisters is decent but i recommend the remake Giana sisters twisted dreams its eye and ear candy for miles beautiful game with interesting mechanics where you change the ... youtube it trust me! Now if we could get that game on here thatd b sick!

Outstanding Game

I'm loving this game. It has classic 2d gameplay with smooth animation and beautiful graphics. The controls are initially odd, but you do get used to it. I wish the iPhone had more games like these.
Best Mario-style game for the iPhone!

This game has proven to be great fun! I've played off and on for a few months now, and the levels are getting harder at a rate that works really well with the speed at which I am mastering the controls. There are secret places, cute animations, and fun extras. In some ways, this game has more character than Super Mario does. Addendum: I just finished level 6-9. It's not that hard if you find the secret bonus level a few levels before, and use it to stock up on lives. And you won't hit your head if you jump less high. :)
A renewed Classic!!

If you love 2D Jum'N'Run games like me, then this game will fit your gaming collection very nicely. I remember when I played the original over 20 years ago on my Commodore 64, it was a great inspired Mario gaming with a "twist", instead of two brothers, you here play the two sisters. With excellent graphics and simple and brilliant very customized controlling, this games is well worth $4.99. So go and grab it, because you will not regret it. And if you like me also own an iPad, it will just be even better, because soon there will be a HD version ready for you to down. - RasmusJ, 2010.
Great Game but...

I love this game. I wish it was known more and a part 2 was being made. However the button needs to be better. A lot of times when you die it'll be because of the buttons. The jump button is too small. And it need a directional pad.
Not Bad

Why such a big deal with level 6-9? I didn't have any trouble. Don't press the jump button so hard. The touch pad responds to how hard you press jump. I mean, the controls are a bit tough to manage. That's why 4 out of 5 stars.
Constant death from problematic controls

Like others have said - this is an extremely promising game. But the jump button is really, really, really unreliable. Even standing in place and repeatedly tapping jump, it will frequently miss on both my iPad and iPhone 4. For a platformer, this is a deal breaker. I've finished every Mario and Sonic platformer, and even Giana on the Amiga (I recognize the tunes!). But I can barely get through the easiest level without the controls killing me.
Crash crash crash

First of all, I somehow accidentally bought the the iPod version instead of the iPad, so I'm having to play to play scaled up for five bucks. Secondly this game crashes every single rime I try to use the fire button. Every. Single. Time. So now my five dollar scaled up game is unplayable. Great. Looks like a fun game, though.
