Alice's Mom's Rescue is a puzzle platformer designed for old consoles. You play as Alice, a girl who has to save her mother, abducted by a giant raven. A white rabbit claims it knows the location of the raven's nest and you decide to follow it.
The game features three different worlds with several levels each. Your goal is to reach the exit of the level while avoiding enemy creatures that can't be killed and will reduce Alice's hearts by one on contact, or harsh environments such as spikes, water, or lava, which are instantly fatal. You'll also deal with locked gates and have to find the matching keys. Later worlds introduce falling platforms that disappear, levers to push to open the exit, and movable crates that can help Alice reach certain areas. There are two types of mushrooms: one shrinks Alice, while the other returns her to normal size.
