Ivy the Kiwi? is a puzzle platformer game for the Nintendo DS, featuring Ivy, a young kiwi bird on a quest to find her mother. Players use the stylus to create flexible vines that help Ivy navigate obstacles and evade hazards like crows and rats. As players progress, they enhance their skills in manipulating the vines to guide Ivy on her journey through increasingly challenging levels.
Players of all ages are encouraged to aide Ivy on her journey, utilizing the Wii Remote or Nintendo DS stylus to create the stretchy and flexible vines that propel Ivy forward, over and through obstacles before her. Players encounter crows, rats, raindrops and more, all of which aim to hinder Ivy's progress. But every story's hero finds a way, and Ivy soon finds an ally in the unlikeliest of places-the strange vines that erupt forth to guide, protect and propel her on her way. As skill improves, players must more carefully and quickly manipulate the trusty vines in new ways and utilize the game's distinct mode of transport.
