Starting the year in style, HuCast Games - the publishers behind various brand new releases for the Dreamcast - have announced that an all new platformer is heading to Sega's fabled console. Alice's Mom's Rescue is a traditional 2D adventure featuring the gameplay we all know and love wrapped up in a pixelated package.

Instead of opting to push the 128-bit console to its limits, this newly announced homebrew release looks set to focus more on gameplay elements than polygon power. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Nicky Boom and Toki Tori, Alice's Mom's Rescue not only features the familiar platforming elements, but also a puzzle side to its on-screen action.

While HuCast Games have said very little about this new title, you can expect to see it arriving as a physical release later this year. Until then, those interested will be pleased to hear that PC and Android versions of the game are already available.

Orion's site also indicates that game will be available for Jaguar CD, though it doesn't specify when.  Links to the PC and Android versions appear on Orion's page.  Below is a video of the game in action.
