Regardless, the point of cute and punk Giana is that each has her own special ability: Cute Giana has a spin jump that gives her a moderate boost and allows her to glide down slowly. Punk Giana can perform a dash attack that gives her a larger boost and is deadly to most foes (Cute Giana can take out foes, but only by jumping on top of them). Here's the thing about the two different Gianas: the player can switch between the two in an instant. This makes what would probably be a pretty generic platformer an engaging, not to mention very fun, platformer.
Additionally, each Giana inhabits a different style of the same world. Cute Giana's world is moody and dark, but with a softer style of music; while Punk Giana's world is bright and colorful, but accompanied by a metal style of music. Does that even make sense? Well, despite the confusion I initially had while switching between the two Gianas, the world and music in the game are very nice.
I've played this game for well over two hours (which is a fair amount for an indie title), and it would seem there is a lot more to experience, including multiple difficulty modes and a time attack mode. I haven't encountered any glitches, but I have seen a few complaints on Miiverse from other players, so keep that in mind.
