What players say
11 years after release and the game is still buggy and many achievements are still broken... yup, I would say it was abandoned a long time ago. Broken achievements really bum me out man!

Think this was made by Black Forest Games? Guess again. it was done by Kasaa Solution, a company that seems to have vanished and subsequently abandoned a half baked port of DS, DS actually looks better and probably plays correctly, this game, was a joke, buggy enemies, buggy level design. Broken achievements, don't know how you can break a simple jump but they managed to do that as well. Get "Giana Sisters: Twisted...
This is one of my favorite Steam games, but there are some things you should beware of, so please, customers and developers alike, please read until the end it is important. I will start with the positives, this is a remake of Giana Sisters DS with what appears to be HD 2D hand drawn sprites instead of the pixel art of the original and a different aspect ratio, (more on that later). There are some gameplay issues...
