Ivy the Kiwi is set in the serene Quiet Forest, where an unexpected arrival sets off a chain of events. An egg falls from the sky, and from it emerges Ivy, who soon finds herself without her mother's presence. Determined to find her way back home, Ivy embarks on a journey through the forest.
Gameplay in Ivy the Kiwi is reminiscent of Kirby: Canvas Curse, where you guide Ivy through levels without direct control. As she moves forward, you'll need to strategically place vines for her to climb up and down, helping her navigate through challenging terrain. The vines also serve as a means to launch Ivy through certain breakable walls.
