## What is Giana Sisters?

Supporting MFi controller!

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.

***************************************** 
"It draws its strength from its unashamed inspiration, offering a tight, fully-featured and excellently crafted platformer that really raises the bar for the AppStore"(toucharcade.com) 

"Giana Sisters is definitely a worthy addition to your game library.... Giana Sisters is among the best platform games for the iPhone" (touchgen.com) 

****************************************

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 iOS devices.

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:

- 80 completely new adventures
- 32 retro level
- superbright Full HD graphic
- 5 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian
- legendary soundtrack, inspired by Chris Huelsbeck
- freely selectable controls
- Game Center

We love to play Giana Sisters as well and we act on the principle: “Bug reported. Bug fixed.”

### 4/5 — Mega Spiel, aber….

*2026-01-16*

Bei dem ein oder anderem Level ist die Steuerung ein wenig nervig. Giana hüpft dann aus unerklärlicher Weise permanent und das funktioniert mit manchen filigranen Wegen nicht.

### 2/5 — Runs poor

*2025-07-14, version 3.1.1*

Loads of graphical glitches on iPhone 16 pro max. Shame I used to enjoy it on previous iPhones.

### 4/5 — Gutes Spiel, aber...

*2025-04-19*

Ein gutes Retro Jump'n Run mit schöner Grafik, großen Levels und fesselnden Herausforderungen.

Allerdings ist das Spiel im 4:3 Format (schwarze Balken links und rechts).

Deswegen gibt's nur 4 von 5 Sternen.

### 5/5 — Oldtimer ab iOS 6

*2025-03-08*

Wahnsinn, dass die App nur iOS6 braucht. Für fast alle älteren iPhones installierbar.

### 5/5 — Kindheitserinnerung

*2024-10-06*

Eigentlich spiele ich nur den Retro-Teil, aber der lässt mein Herz höher schlagen. Fast wie früher… tolle Arbeit :)

### 3/5 — Schöner Klassiker mit Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten!

*2023-11-18*

Das Spiel ist klasse für alle die es von früher kennen. Ich mag es seit ich am c64 das erste mal drauf gestoßen bin. Macht sehr viel spaß! 

Leider ist der Gameflow mit unter extrem stockend, was die Spiellaune schnell zerstört, sie wird unkontrollierbar und läuft gar nicht oder Ultra schnell, was eine gezielte Steuerung nahezu unmöglich macht.

iPhone 14 Pro Max

### 4/5 — Erstes Spiel mit Sinn

*2023-06-18*

Ich spiele GIANA SISTERS seitdem ich mein erstes Handy vor 5,5 Jahren bekommen habe. Allerdings komme ich bei einem Level seit Jahren nicht weiter, da mir immer gesagt wird, dass ich etwas nicht gefunden habe. Allerdings war ich überall und weiß nicht wo ich noch suchen soll. Somit habe ich es leider fast aufgehört zu spielen.

### 4/5 — Super, aber Retro-Modus?

*2022-12-31*

Super, aber der Retro-Modus beschränkt sich leider nur auf die Level-Auswahl. Ansonsten klappt es sowohl auf iPad, iPhone und Apple TV. Leider aber keine Synchronisierung untereinander.

### 4/5 — Controller support

*2022-12-22, version 3.1.1*

Please add controller support

### 3/5 — Ok

*2022-09-04, version 3.1.1*

This is great and fun to play. They have c64 version and also a new version so its actually 2 games in one   All original music.  It has barious bugs though. . Please fix thats why i took off 2 stars.   Like some-tines it lags and shows right down at the beginning of a new level affecting playability.   Im using an iohone 13 pro so its not the phone. Also it sometimes goes to main menu after finishing a level and u have to hit play then it resumes back and it will sometimes do this several tines in a looping fashion.  Its really annoying .   The controls are great on screen and work well. Please fix bugs make this work flawlessly because game itself is a 5 star and is well done. Finally something old school i  can play on ny iphone. Please bring us morre old school arcade and c64 games
