Umihara Kawase

How to Play

In this physics-based platformer, your main goal is to navigate surreal, grid-like levels filled with walking sea life and reach the exit door before the timer runs out. You control Kawase, armed only with a fishing rod equipped with an elastic line and hook. Fire the hook at walls, ceilings, and platforms to swing across gaps, pull yourself up ledges, or rappel down safely. Mastering the elastic tension and momentum of the line is crucial, as you can bounce and swing to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. In the early stages, focus on learning how the rope behaves when anchored at different angles. You can reel yourself in or let the line out to adjust your swing radius. When encountering mutant fish, stun them by hooking them and pulling them in, then pocket them to clear the path. As the difficulty increases, you will need to execute precise, high-speed swings over bottomless pits and time your releases perfectly to launch Kawase onto distant platforms.
