Product description

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 C64. 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.

The legend is back, better and bigger than ever before. To use the potential of current devices we improved the graphics and controls. Today the game captivates through its full HD graphic and a new userfriendly menustructure.

The game offers everything a real Jump'n Run game needs. Perfectly balanced for hours of fun on all current Android devices (> 4.0).

Freed from the dust of decades, GIANA SISTERS always retains its cherished style, familiar features and the legendary original soundtrack in a fresh revision. By then the polished 32 fully restored classic levels will cause teary eyes to many fans of the original version!

Today the sisters celebrate their jump on the hitlists of the gaming world. Including a lot of new adventures, retro feeling and modern design.

We love to play Giana Sisters as well and we act on the principle: “Reported bug. Fix the bug.”

HAPPY JUMPING!

If you know your video gaming history you know that the original Giana Sisters got in hot water for basically being a gender bent Super Mario Bros ripoff. The cool thing is that you can play those unoriginal levels as well as a slew of new and original levels! It's also got controller support and works on the Retroid Pocket 2. You do have to map the buttons in settings and use the touch sensor sparingly in menus. If you want to play Mario 1 as a girl you can! If you want to play the Nintendo DS version with better graphics you can! It's a pretty good game, and it's a good version of mobile Mario since the other option is a Mario Runner.... Or Lep's World if you're desperate for that side scrolling platformer action.

There are definitely a number of bugs, and the graphics don't always blend, but the gameplay is solid.

5.0 out of 5 stars The sisters are alive and kicking!
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2014
I'll still never understand how Giana Sisters came back to life after being shoved aside by Nintendo back when it was notorious for being the original  Mario  wannabe in 1987. A 2009 Nintendo Power issue gave a review score for  Giana Sisters DS ; it was a 9/10. That review shocked me, as I couldn't understand how not only did it become a series with an installment on a NINTENDO console, but also the fact that the magazine further encouraged its existence.

But you know what? Giana Sisters DS was a great Mario clone, anyway, so I welcome the series with open arms. With that said, this game is a port of the portable sequel, just with HD resolution and touch controls for Android play.

Giana Sisters takes the timeless gameplay of  Nintendo's plucky plumber  and basically makes its own levels around that. The game has its own set of enemies, numerous levels, and even a few gameplay mechanics that I can totally get down with. 80+ levels is quite a lot of classic platforming to be had here, and Giana Sisters delivers on that front. Sure, you'll sometimes ride a bubble or spray soda or something, but it's really all straightforward,  Super Mario Bros. -style platforming. And I don't think I'd want the game to be anything else.

The visuals, like I said, are a bit improved from the DS version, being HD and all. However, even without that aspect, Giana Sisters is a great-looking game, with lush environments and cartoon-y characters making the game come to life as much as the actual existence of this game does. Sadly, the scrolling level title screen of the DS version (and  the 1987 original ) is nowhere to be found here.

Which kinda leads to my only problems with the game - There's not too many power-ups to collect and use, and the difficulty is rather tame. But that's all I have to really remark on those things.

If you have a  Nintendo DS , though, I suggest you get Giana Sisters on there, instead. The touch controls aren't as satisfying to use as a good ol' D-Pad and buttons. Otherwise, totally get this. If there's any  Mario  clone that's worthy enough to grace the Android screen, it's Giana Sisters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great game similar to mario
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2014
This is a fun side scrolling game, I like that you turn into a "punk" fire flinging girl as the power up. There isn't a story yet that I am aware of. I have played the first 10 or so stages, and it works on my phone and tablet, and it's compatible with my moga controller.
The only thing is you might want to buy this app on the play store, as it is only $1, vs the $2 on the amazon store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super wie in alten Commodore C-64 Zeiten

Die Umsetzung des Spieles auf der Fire TV ist wirklich gut gelungen und ich fühle mich wie in alte C-64 Zeiten zurückversetzt.
Viele kennen nur Super Mario,aber die Giana-Sisters waren zuerst da.

Zur Steuerung:
Da viele hier Probleme mit der Steuerung haben ein kleiner Hinweis.
Man muß die FireTV-Fernbedienung zur Hilfe nehmen und damit unter den Einstellungen des Spieles alles einstellen-Sound,Geräusche und die Steuerung des Controllers.
Das Spiel lässt sich prima mit dem Controller steuern.
Klasse Remake

5.0 out of 5 stars Funktioniert super mit der Amazon Fire TV Box (4K)

Ich kann die ganzen Rezensionen nicht verstehen, die besagen, dass dieses Spiel mit der Amazon Box und dem Controller nicht funktioniert. Ich habe die aktuelle Amazon Fire TV Box mit 4K Ultra HD und den Controller (2.Gen.) und muss sagen, dass das Ganze super funktioniert. Unter Einstellungen kann man die Belegung der Tasten des Controllers einrichten. So funktioniert auch der linke Joystick.
Das Spiel ist genial und erinnert mich an alte Zeiten. Die paar Cent waren gut angelegt!!!
