ALICE AND THE GOLDEN COINS is a 2D Pixel Art action/puzzle game. You control Alice who must collect in her basket the coins dropped by the fairy Candice who moves at the top of the screen. Each level is played on a fixed screen during a fairly short game session (about 20 seconds). You must move and jump, while avoiding traps. You must memorize the best way to collect all the coins. If you succeed, at the end of the game Alice will have enough money to buy medicine to cure her seriously ill grandmother. Alice is a girl who lives in the countryside with her grandmother Tilba. She likes simple things and spends her days having fun. But one day Tilba gives her terrible news: she is very ill and since she doesn't have enough money to buy medicine she risks dying. Alice is shocked. Tilba is her only family. While she is lamenting in the woods, she meets the fairy Candice. The latter is bored. In order to have a little distraction, she offers Alice a game that would allow her to win a lot of money. If Alice wins the game before sunset, she will then have enough money to buy the medicine to cure her grandmother.

The game is very simple. Candice is at the top of the screen. She drops coins of different values ​​by moving from left to right. Alice is at the bottom of the screen. With her basket, she must collect the coins. The money goal to collect is displayed at the bottom of the level. If you succeed, the money collected is yours forever! A coin loses its value when it hits the ground. A flashing coin has the ability to bounce on the ground once while still retaining its value. A mystery coin can give you money... or take it away! It's usually best to avoid them. But if you know which ones to take, then you surpass Candice's goal and win even more money! All coins, other than the mystery coins, must be collected. If you miss a single one, the level immediately ends in failure. The player can get collectibles in some levels. Sometimes they are simply placed on the ground, sometimes they appear after performing certain actions. You have to collect them at the right time, because you can't miss Candice's coins! These collectibles are grouped together in the inventory. At the end of the adventure, they earn you a lot of extra money, so try to find as much as possible! At the start of the adventure, all levels are locked, except the first. Each level successfully completed unlocks the next level. Unlocked levels can be replayed. The level selection screen has several actions and information. Actions:
