2022 - July - Giana's Return - Ended

Welcome to the second game competition on Amigans.net!

For the month of July we will be playing Giana's Return,
which is a fun platform game.

The game should work on all AmigaOS 4 setups.



Evil Swampy and his followers have stolen the magic ruby,
which made it once possible for Giana and Maria to return from
their dream. Many creatures are after this ruby, but does it
really have power, or was it just a coincidence? As this is not
bad enough, Swampy fell in love at first sight with Giana’s
sister Maria and shamelessly kidnapped her. She simply has been
at the wrong place at the wrong time. You will now have to take
on the role of Giana and get back the magic ruby. And most
important of all, save your beloved sister Maria and get home
save! Good Luck!

The game can be downloaded for free from OS4Depot:

You can also get it from the official website here:

https://www.gianas-return.de/

I've got the game, but how do I install it?

When you’ve downloaded the game, head over to its directory and
right-click on the icon. Select “extract to” and then choose the
destination. Once unpacked, enter its directory and double-click
on the icon of the game to run it. The game makes use of SDL,
SDL_Mixer, Libmodplug and Zlib. If you have not installed these,
you can find them via these links (according to the readme):

http://www.libsdl.org/
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/
http://modplug-xmms.sourceforge.net/
http://www.zlib.net/

There is more information available in the readme-file at
OS4Depot.

The goal of the contest is to see who can get the highest score
in the game! Who will be the Amigans.net champion of Giana's
Return by Retroguru?

Post scores below - screenshots or photos taken with your
cellphone is fine.

Contest runs until the end of the month (July 31st).

Good luck everyone!

Impressive score!!

Scoreboard has now been updated.

Good job @SO-AmigaFan76! For me it works totally opposite and I do not have any fun with this game, it just become source of endless frustration. Here is my score update:

wow you guys are kicking arse! I guess my eye hand co-ordination is not up to par for these run and jump style games though I’m sure if my 14 year old Super Mario loving son play it he’d be mastering it in no time Then again he’s been playing only Valorant lately and in that ‘jump & run’ is for little kids phase eh
