Go out in search of diamonds in this amazing platform game.

”Giana Sisters,” is set in a colourful and beautiful, but still dangerous, dream world. An evil force has thrown all of Giana’s diamonds out into the world, and your mission is to collect as many of them as possible, by completing 80 different levels. You must jump from platform to platform while collecting diamonds and avoiding or attacking enemies. To kill the monsters you need to jump on them, or, you can get an upgrade that makes Giana into a punk who can shoot the monsters with fireballs. You get this upgrade by jumping on the blocks that you find everywhere in the game. Most of them contain diamonds, but some of them include upgrades.

Throughout the game, you can unlock various bonus levels by finding a special type of diamond, which makes more features available. At several points in the game, it is possible to teleport to a different location where you can find a lot of diamonds.

The controls in ”Giana Sisters” are flawless. You will never have any problems jumping to where you want, or stop exactly where you need to – which is a necessity in this game. The graphics are nice and colourful, but on occasion the animation may seem a bit plain.

Child suitability:
”Giana Sisters,” is well suited for children from 5 years and above. The game is a lot of fun, and can be played repeatedly. All the levels look great and are very colourful, and the game has no violence whatsoever. When your enemies die they just lie down, and no blood is shown.

Level of difficulty:

3-6 years: Towards the end of the game it might get a little difficult for the youngest. Apart from this, the game is well suited for this age group.

7-11 years: The game offers a lot of fun, and on occasion, a challenge or two.

12+: The game is well suited for young people and adults alike, but might seem a bit too easy at times.
