Giana Sisters contains over 80 levels to be explored for hitting blocks, collecting crystals, finding secrets and eventually complete the stage.
Giana is a young girl who fell asleep one evening while admiring her precious treasure chest.
As she fell into a deep sleep, magical powers emerged from the treasure chest, bathing Giana's bedroom in a brilliantly bright light.
Giana's sparkling blue diamonds spilled out of the treasure chest and disappeared into a deep, black hole.
The music is based on Chris Hülsbeck's compositions from the original 1987 game, arranged by Fabian Del Priore.
The game's executive producer was Armin Gessert, the man behind the programming of The Great Giana Sisters.
In February 2011, the game was made available in North America by publisher Destineer through online outlets such as Newegg and Walmart.
[citation needed] Giana Sisters DS was met with positive response, citing good controls and catchy music.
The biggest credits were given to Pikomi's standout animation and artwork, but the game was criticized for being too easy for seasoned players, and somewhat unoriginal too.
[citation needed] The iOS port was ranked the most downloaded game app during its month of release in Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Norway.
The game features music from The Great Giana Sister's original composer Chris Huelsbeck and the Swedish "SID metal" band Machinae Supremacy.
