* TacticalSuicideBoss: The second boss would be invulnerable if it didn't try to slap you with its one vulnerable tentacle from time to time.
** The final boss is even worse, since the key to winning the battle against him isn't one particular attack, but the combination of two particular attacks. It'd be perfectly fine to send flaming and homing meteorites after the player. It would also be perfectly fine to do a deadly 360 degrees breath attack. What does him in is summoning a flaming meteorite and allowing the player to disable it by guiding it into his breath attack so it can be kicked in his face.

Gameplay-wise it stays true to its 2d platformer roots, but it uses a modern 3d graphic engine. A key gameplay element is Gianas ability to change between her normal cutesy form and her pyrokinetic punk form at will. When she does this, the dream world around her changes in the opposite way. While Cute Giana plays in a creepy nightmare, Punk Giana plays in a SugarBowl world. But the graphics aren't the only difference between the two worlds. A lot of game elements behave different depending on what world Giana is currently in: Platforms appear and disappear, gates open or close, elevators change directions and enemies change their behavior patterns.

An official 2012 sequel to the original ''GreatGianaSisters''.
A mysterious crystal appears in Giana and Maria's bedroom, creating a portal which sucks up Maria and takes her to the dream world. Giana gives chase.
The game is the first game by Black Forest Games, a company consisting mostly of people who also took part in the development of the (quite unsuccessful) Giana Sisters DS. The development of the game was crowd-funded through a [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/project-giana/project-giana Kickstarter campaign]] under the working title ''Project Giana''.
