Still fun to play but...
I prefer the older version as far as the loading screen, the graphics, and the size of the characters...the game characters seems smaller since the update...also the loading screens are plain and boring now with no animations why fix something that's not broken...plz change it back to how it was... if this is how it have to be because its optimized for the iPhone 5 screen I would rather it not be optimized for my iPhone 5...also the game has tares in the background and the attack detection for the fireballs are way off the fire doesn't even touch the enemy and the enemy dies before the fireball even touch them...please fix and I will rate the game higher...why fix something that is not broken at all...smhDuke313
Great game but still needs work
I love the game now that you've fixed the issue with it not saving game data when it's closed out. But you still need to work on some things...
Personally I don't care about the few minor visual issues like the lines in the water etc. My issue is with having to pause the game to answer my phone or something & when I come back I have to reopen the game & start the level over, usually losing the "punk Giana" which on some levels is a real pain.
Another big issue is with the maps freezing up & I constantly have to quit the game, close the app & then reopen. A few times I had to do a phone reboot for the game to work again. Also level 9-1 is all kinds of screwed up. It's very very slow & choppy. Bad enough it's unplayable.
Fix these few things & add more levels... I'd give you 5 stars.
Here's a hint for everyone... Since you can go to any level in the game whenever you want, if you need extra lives, go to level 1-3. It's an easy level & there are close to 200 crystals to get extra lives. I would play that level over & over to stockpile extra lives lol.Punkindrublik
Bad
It took them close to a year before they updated to the 4-inch display. Now the controls are useless. The buttons take 5-6 taps to register. I paid $5 when this first came out and now it's garbage. I wish I could get a refund for the developers ruining a good game.justgivein
What happened to 2.0???
Yikes, what a disappointment. Don't upgrade to 2.0! I haven't run it yet on my 5th gen iPod touch, but on my 4th gen this version is filled with graphical glitching, horrendous slowdown, crashes, and quite frankly the new menu system is rather dull and boring. New high res graphics for retina displays? Well the game looks crappy on the 4th gens RETINA display.
Also what is the$1.99 Level pack? Extra levels? A sneaky way to unlock original game levels? More info please!!
The awesome intro story and opening level? Gone. Oh and your game progress? Say bye bye to that as well.
It appears that the game is under new management. Which seems to the root of the problem.
Thanks for breaking a already perfect game. :(SgtCrispy
Pretty cool
Needs a little work and had I known before I wouldn't have paid $5 for it. However that said its a fun game with multiple levels to challenge you.Wolfkin88

I would love to play the game, I bought it and it was going to install but now the app just continually says waiting. It won't download. If there is anything you can tell me to help it would be appreciated and I will give you a good rating. Ridiculous you pay $5 for something that won't work and free apps work all the time.Jbason84
'80s
First time I've ever played this game, nothing overt about it but the aesthetic feels '80s to me anyway. Like watching "gremlins": the pacing is slow, and the characters fantastical.... Early levels are easy (so far), not a lot of extra bells and whistles. Not the most addictive game in the app store but that's part of the charm.NW0725
This game rocks!!
Admittedly, I got this game because it was recommended by a few tech blogs as a viable substitute to Mario, but 3 stages into playing it, I love it on its own! The gameplay is interesting, just the right amount of challenging to keep you engaged, and it's looooong! The graphics are awesome and the enemies are fun! The L-R controls are the best I've ever had in this type of game, as well as the control you have over positioning the player. I wish I could give it 10 stars!Bryanambition
Crashes on iPad
I'd love the game, but it has been a long time and no update to fix a crash on iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1 -- the game force closes when tapping on the fireball button.Surgeworks
Blast from the past
Used to play the original as a little kid on the family C64. This is a great port of a great classic. For anyone who played and love the original, this is a MUST BUY! For anyone new, this is a awesome platformer with solid controls.Tobor2000
