She has the ability to burst forward in any direction as a ball of flame, which serves both as an attack and her best method of mobility.īoth of these worlds are wonderfully drawn and animated. Enemies become cuddly creatures like owls and rabbits. In contrast, Punk Giana is a pink haired punk rocker girl paired with a colorful, beautiful background. She has the ability to twirl in mid-air, which allows her to hover. Enemies change shape into demons, poisonous frogs and other such malcontents. Cute Giana is a blonde haired, innocent looking girl juxtaposed with a demonic twisted background. Twisted Dreams’s main gameplay mechanic is the shifting of worlds between “cute” Giana and “punk” Giana. It’s this ominous beginning that brings Giana into the world of twisted dreams. Starting up the adventure will give you the back-story: Maria is sucked into a strange dark portal, and Giana jumps in to save her (Okay, so that part is still like Super Mario Bros.). But now, Black Forest Games, thanks in part to Kickstarter donations, has created Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams – a modern sequel that sheds the series of its copycat roots and carves its own spot in the platforming genre. Other than a 2009 re-imagining for the DS, that’s all this platforming series has been known for over the last 26 years. After Nintendo threatened legal action, the game was removed from store shelves. The Great Giana Sisters was a 1987 platformer that aped Super Mario Bros. so closely that it couldn’t have been coincidence – the first level was an almost exact rip off of Super Mario Bros.’s 1-1. “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” By Brent Galietti, posted on 13 April 2013 / 4,057 Views
