What is Giana's Return?

Giana's Return is a multi platform sequel, taking place few years after the The Great Giana Sisters.

The Great Giana Sisters is an alltime Commodore 64 jump'n'run classic, which borrowed several elements from the well known Nintendo hit Super Mario. Created in 1987 by Armin Gessert (1963 - 2009), Manfred Trenz and Chris Huelsbeck; published by Rainbow Arts.

In 2009, the same year Armin Gessert passed away, his company Spellbound Entertainment AG released an official sequel for Nintendo DS, which is now also available for iPhone and Android devices.

Giana's Return is a tribute to the original game, but also in remembrance of Armin Gessert.

STORYLINE

Evil Swampy and his followers have stolen the magic ruby, which made it once possible for Giana and Maria to return from their dream. Many creatures are after this ruby, but does it really has power, or was it just a coincidence?

As this is not bad enough, Swampy fell in love at first sight with Giana's sister Maria and shamelessly kidnapped her. She simply has been at the wrong place at the wrong time.

You will now have to take on the role of Giana and get back the magic ruby. And most important of all, save your beloved sister Maria and get home save! Good Luck!
