Alice's Mom's Rescue

[h1]Overview:[/h1] '[i]Alice's Mom's Rescue[/i]' is a short 2D side scrolling platformer putting players in the shoes of "Alice". A young girl who had to experience the unfortunate event of her mother being kidnapped by a large raven for seemingly no reason. She now has to set off on foot through 25 levels across 3 worlds in order to get her back. Frankly, if there were birds large enough to abduct an adult human, I'd be pretty scared too. The game is extremely simple with gameplay mechanics of the same nature. But even with this information, '[i]Alice's Mom's Rescue[/i]' still manages to possess flaws that make the game not so enjoyable to say the least. [h1]Gameplay:[/h1] Albeit as standard as they come, '[i]Alice's Mom's Rescue[/i]' [i]does[/i] have an extra feature alongside the typical platforming in the form of shrinking in size to access certain areas. The levels in the game appear linear at first but later on present different paths that the player must decide to take which is where the main issue in the game lies. Now it's not out of the ordinary for sidescrollers to give players different paths to pick from, but in '[i]Alice's Mom's Rescue[/i]', picking a path determine…

Alice's Mom's Rescue is a puzzle platfomer where you have to collect keys (and sometimes activate levers) to open doors that will eventually lead you to the exit. There are 25 levels in total. It incorporates a mechanic where you can shrink and get back to your normal size by jumping on certain mushrooms, thus allowing you to reach areas that would otherwise be inaccesible. I really enjoyed this game, but the thing that bothered me was that the whole gimmick of the game, which is basically that you have to "memorize" the specific path you have to follow to get the keys in the right order and not lock yourself in the level, is a little bit annoying. Even the slightest mistake, such as getting a key before you get another, or jumping to a falling platform before you're supposed to, will inevitably make you have to start the level again. I think the game would benefit a lot from a "look up/down" function, since sometimes you just have to jump down blindly without knowing if that's the best next step. In summary, there is A LOT of trial and error, and sometimes you just have to repeat a single level so many times that it actually becomes a bit frustrating. All in all, it was still…

A casual puzzle platformer. I am bad at precision platforming. This game does not require it. The graphics are a bit simple. The puzzle part starts out light but later levels take a while to figure out. It took 3 hours to complete all levels with perfect rating (all gems collected). I enjoyed puzzling and not-so-precision-jumping my way through them. Recommended for people who want to play a platform game but are not good enough for precision platformers.

This was a fantastic game that make you think quick on your little feet. It is a puzzle I would recommend to all. There were frustrating times but once you beat the level it feels amazing. Such a cute and wonderful game that I will play again. Speed run time. And the music is fantastic! 10/10

This is an okay platformer but it has mildly annoying checkpoints and fairly basic overall. It's not terrible but there are a ton of better options out there.

Claims to be compatible with a controller but it is not. complete waste of money.
