Ivy the Kiwi? was created by Yuji Naka former head of the Sonic Team for the original Sonic the Hedgehog game, now head of Prope. With such a massive notch like creating Sonic under his belt, he’s now gone on to create his first fully original game of his own. Ivy the Kiwi? creates a slight edge of its own genre by what feels like a platforming puzzle game where the main character, Ivy, is a flightless bird who is born into the world without her mother in sight. That’s where the question mark in the title comes in — IS Ivy a kiwi? Poor Ivy doesn’t know and is saddened to be without a mother so she goes on to find her.
While its true that Yuji Naka hasn’t been churning out classics over the last fifteen years, a closer look at his work over that time shows a creator with a singular vision
Though today you can stuff stereoscopic 3D and console-quality graphics into your backpack, that once seemed inconceivable. Handhelds have evolved quickly, but we shouldn’t forget the games that made them great in the first place. Though these games lack raw processing muscle, they have a power all their own.
