Giana's Return Is Out


I can't download the game? I go to the site and choose "download" but then it just takes me to a blank page and no download starts.

At first I thought they were some kind of Christmas trees, so I jumped on it, hoping for a bonus...
You know what happened next :D

I agree, at first time I though they where part of the background. I was like "WTF? a bug?"
I hate those fuckers, great game by the way.

The first time I died on one of the "christmas trees" I was trying every button to see if there was a "run" button like in super mario brothers.
At the exact same time I pressed Y, I died.
So my thoughts were "Oh, that must have been the suicide button.." ;)

They do tend to blend into the background sometimes and you won't notice them, and the first time it's hard to know that they'll kill you.

When I reached the world2 I thought the snowmen and piles of spiky snow on the ground were the same.
So I jumped over them as well, and later it turned out that they did not hurt you.

I don’t know if it’s the right place for a bug report, but if Kojote or someone else of the team read this... well, here we go ! (I've post the same thing on the official site).

Hello, and first, thanks so much for this great game !!!

- The sound volume is really too loud at start and worst, when you try too changing it, it goes to the loudest possible before to decrease !
- If I change the volume on “salvador Dali” screen then I have no more SFX during the game
- Difficulty can be fun, but too much difficulty is just boring and annoying, making me shut down my Wiz too much times !I explain…
Level 43, at start, just after the first flame, the jump is near impossible to do ! I’ve tried and tried and tried, and finally passed the gap on only one pixel !
Level 44, quite the same thing in the middle of the level (one pixel jump), I have managed to pass it using a jump on a bee, but once the bee killed and if you die a little later, it’s finished, you can’t pass the jump anymore (and with the spiky monster at the end, it happens often…)
Level 45 ! Aaaaaaargh ! I’ve tried this one more than 100 times (no joke)! The several jumps over the flaming platform in the underground near start are just impossible, especially with the next bug…
-Sometimes, waiting on a edge of a flaming platform, Giana “flash” once like if she catching a “growing ball” and then fall of the platform ! When you try to pass something like level 45, it’s just -CENSORED-…
-Maybe all my problems are coming from a little too “edgy” collision detection, I have even see my Giana missing the edge of a cliff by moving back one pixel when reaching it, like sliding on it… Or be killed by flames even without touching it (I swear…).
-It’s not a bug, but just a question : What is the advantage of going “big” except the fact you can break block with your head ? I haven’t seen any other difference (more life, higher jump…).
So, another time, a lot of thanks, it’s a really really good game and I like it so much !! Even if sometimes your success is more a matter of luck than of skills…

One day later...

You know what ? I have finaly pass level 45 ! Wouhou ! (lucky, lucky !)But…(Sorry)after the indian Xealander boss, during the first swamp stage, the game start acting like speedy gonzales on steroids ! So I have quit the game and shut down my Wiz… Bad idea. Now, after “the old woman of the swamp” cutscene, the game crash and directly exit right to the Wiz system menu… Sorry…
Good luck in fixing the bugs, and another time thanks for the game !

PS : The “flashing-falling Giana” bug is easy to reproduce. Stay on the edge of a platform block with only one pixel of your feet on it and just wait 2 seconds…

Hi,

The Giana's Return Team is looking for people to port the game to GP2X, Dingoo A320 and Pandora :)

Is anyone interested ?

Bye, Magic Sam

I'll be happy to do the Dingoo A320 version.

thanks for the feedback so far :)

we had mulle playing some of the levels again, we will consider minor changes to make it easier. at the end it's still a matter of practise but the majority of the player seems to be having small troubles :D

we try to figure out whats wrong with the fire, but it should be already not act exactly by pixel.

the giana sliding off bug is no bug - it's wanted :) after all you hardly can stand in the air like this for too long, can you? ;)




for all others... beta 3 is out

Hey !

Thx for the Beta 3 ! But...(I am going to be "Mr But-Man", with only one T, thanks !)
The game still crashing on the swamp level.

Am I alone with this trouble ?

Another time a really big THX for all your efforts !
 
Please ToYoT, don't write passwords on the forum, or I'll have to change them for the final release...
I've sent you a PM to talk about this bug.

[EDIT]bug found and fixed, will be available in the next beta[/EDIT]

Giana's Coder
 
Please tell me that this will be Free AND Open-Source! :)
Looks amazing.
 
I'm running the latest public beta (No. 4 as of this writing) and is anyone else experiencing these glitches? The latest beta is really much snappier than the others but it has weird glitches. By glitches I mean if you have Giana standing on a ledge then suddenly out of the blue, she will fall and it seems like she transformed for a short second (normal hair --> big hair).

Regards

That transformed part is a warning you are about to fall (im pretty sure)

Can anybody get past level 48? I have no idea how to get past the 3 platforms with the bugs. All the jumps are one pixel jumps.

Been trying out the beta a bit under Open2X on my GP2X.. Very very nice and impressive. Too bad I can't hear any music. That's a shame because AM-FM makes good music, I like his chiptunes :)
