Sonic the Hedgehog’s daddy, Yuji Naka, has hooked up with XSEED Games to bring out his new action-puzzle gameIvy the Kiwi?. He also breaks away from his“____ the ____”name formula with the addition of a question mark. His studio, PROPE, has created this game about a “lonely baby bird” that looks for her mother. Aww.
Here’s moreawwfrom the press release:
Players of all ages are instantly drawn to the plight of Ivy, introduced to the charming bird through an unfolding storybook style, first seen as her orange head and beak break out of her shell and cries for her mother. Receiving no response, Ivy sets off through a dreamy forest, meeting many birds but none who share her resemblance. As she wanders, she stumbles upon a single glowing red feather and the first clue of her mother’s whereabouts.
This is a Wii and DS game. Ivy will move about via vines, controlled by the Wii Remote or DS stylus. Ivy will pull over obstacles and slingshot with stretchy vines. Watch out, though, as pulling too hard will snap the vines.
There’s over 100 stages in the single-player story, and up to four players can compete in multi. Expect to seeIvy the Kiwi?released this summer.
I didn’t know what the hell this game was until today. I love the look of it, though. And the game play is right up my alley. I love that Ivy sheds a single tear on the title screen. Check out some Wii screens in the gallery below.
