What it is
Giana Sisters: Dream Runners is a competitive platform racer from Black Forest Games. Players race through nine levels, jumping, dashing and using boosters and power-ups to disrupt opponents and push them off the screen. Collecting gems fills a speed booster, while dreamgates let players change the level layout as they race. Matches support up to four players, either locally or online, and AI opponents are also available. Four characters can be unlocked. The game includes single-player, multiplayer and shared or split-screen play, along with controller support, Steam Achievements and Steam Trading Cards. Remote Play on TV and Remote Play Together are listed, as is Family Sharing. Its soundtrack pairs music by Chris Hülsbeck with tracks by Machinae Supremacy.
