Control creepers in ex-Sonic Team head's platform-puzzler Ivy The Kiwi?
Heard it on the grapevine
Vine-drawing platform-puzzler Ivy The Kiwi? has just planted its roots on the App Store.
Originally released on Windows Mobile in Japan in 2009 (then on Nintendo DS), Ivy The Kiwi? was the maiden game from Prope, a small studio fronted by ex-Sonic Team head Yuji Naka.
As in Sonic's fleet-footed adventures, you must guide the newly hatched Ivy across a series of levels filled with spikes, puzzles, and members of the animal kingdom.
Unlike Sonic, however, Ivy starts running the moment the level begins, so you are required to draw vines on the screen to create new platforms and keep her out of harm's way.
You'll have to use your greenest finger if you're going to clear the game's 50 storybook levels and reunite Ivy with her mother. There are also feathers and costumes to collect, and the chance to compete with friends via Game Center.
You can download Ivy The Kiwi? from the App Store on iPhone and iPad for the introductory price of £1.99 / $2.99 now. Alternatively, you can give the free-to-play version a go by clicking here.
