Giana’s Return is an impressively faithful tribute/sequel to the classic platformer Giana Sisters (for the C64 back in the days).
With over 2 years in development the game is now finally released.
That is some back to the roots oldschool platformer fun!
Nice graphics, good level design, fine controls and smooth gameplay.
A must play for any platformer veteran!
The developers did a very good job here.
PixelProspector recorded a gameplay video for the first 4 levels for those who want to see how the game actually looks but dont want to get spoiled too much from the original trailer.

From the Homepage:

* 7 Worlds, with each 8 Levels – followed by a “big boss”
* Power Ups and Extras
* Oldschool style pixeled sprites and tiles
* Wonderful hand drawn backgrounds
* Illustrated hand drawn storyline
* Over 18 Tracks of Chipmusic!
* Multi-Language: German, English, French, Spanish
* Password and/or Savegame (depending on release platform)
* Hidden Warp Zones and Bonus Caves
* Hidden Trainer
* TOP 10 Highscore

A bit similar to Super Mario World. Explore varied levels filled with secrets and bonuses, while smashing blocks and enemies with your frisbee.
Your main weapon is the frisbee - with it you can break blocks (green blocks sometimes contain bonuses) and destroy enemies.
The blocks with '?'s on them often contain weapons. When you get a special weapon, you can revert back to the standart frisbee by pressing the Switch key (A).
When you finish a level, a new one will be unlocked on the map screen.
Sometimes, when you step on a blank node, a random battle will trigger (with a mini-boss).
Your hearts refill after beating each level, but be careful not to lose them in the mini-boss fights.
At the end of each world (there are six worlds total), you must fight a boss in order to progress to the next one.
After you complete a world, your progress will be saved and your maximum hearts - increased by one.
Each level is filled with a certain number of bonuses - to complete the level at 100%, you must collect them all.
Some levels contain well-hidden gems. Find enough gems and you will unlock bonus content in the Unlockables section.
There are various other secrets in the game - good luck finding them!

min.requirements: 1,67 GHz

Controls: (redefinable)
Arrows = Move
Z = Jump
X = Use weapon
A = Change weapon
F4 = Full screen / windowed
R = Return to map screen (select other unlocked levels)
M = Music/sound on/off
Alt+Q = Boss key (fast quit)
Esc = Pause / Exit
