*Project Giana* is a free demo game for PCs. Originally released on Nintendo
DS in 2009, the game is available through Steam Greenlight currently. Project
Giana is considered a derivative of The Great Giana Sisters, which was
essentially a Super Mario Bros clone. This original PC release is expected to
be followed by releases on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Based
around the concept of a little girl stuck in a dream world, Project Giana
lets you *explore various worlds with beautiful graphics*. You can bounce
around to avoid opponents and obstacles in each level, as well as collect
gems. Jumping on the heads of most enemies will defeat them. Giana can
*switch between two appearances at will* - either cute or more punky. Each
form has its own abilities and vulnerabilities that go along with it.
Whenever Giana transforms in Project Giana however, so does the appearance of
the dream world. You can switch from a landscape made up of candy to
something more nightmarish very quickly as a result. The music will change
along with the scenery switch as well. You can use an Xbox controller or just
your mouse and keyboard to control Giana, although the latter is a bit clunky
and difficult to maneuver. In this demo version of Project Giana, also note
that your progress will not get saved should you die. *The graphics are what
makes Project Giana stand out most, although gamers of all ages should find
gameplay fun and challengeing.*Download *Project Giana* in Softonic
