Ivy the Kiwi? is a puzzle platformer developed by Yuji Naka, featuring a young kiwi named Ivy who must navigate through various levels. Players use the Wii Remote to create vines that aid Ivy in avoiding obstacles and enemies such as crows and rats. As players progress, they must refine their skills to master the unique vine mechanics that propel Ivy forward in her quest.
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.
