Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams

Evil bosses have hearts too

We’ve added a boss heart counter (♥) (♥) (♥) to all of the three Giana boss fights: Hansel and Gretel, Octor Freud and Gurglewocky.

This is a new UI element that indicates how many hits you still need to defeat each boss.

Sincerely,

A massive game update. We have added a remixed mode for all levels and bosses!

Dear Giana fans, we’ve prepared a massive game update for you

- A remixed mode for all levels and bosses. The remixed mode is a lot easier to survive than its standard counterpart. The “easy” difficulty for Giana should roughly correspond to the “normal” difficulty for casual platformer games. And, of course, the standard and hardcore modes are still there.
- The code has been optimized further to boost the performance of GSTD (DirectX10/11 mode only). The improved framerate should be the most noticeable on mid-range machines that required lower graphical settings to run smoothly in the previous version.
- Added Japanese language support
- Added in-game menu for basic audio and controller settings
- Uber-hardcode achievement fix, finally those of you who managed to beat the game will get the achievement you deserve (all you need is to beat one level in uber hardcore and you should be awarded with the achievement if you have already played through every level in that mode).

Your BFG Team.
