Description

Easy to play, difficult to master, Umihara Kawase is a totally unique physics-based puzzle platform game with over 20 years of gaming history.

Umihara Kawase is the name of our backpacking, Japanese, sushi chef heroine armed with a fishing rod, elastic fishing line, and a fishing hook. Face fish-like enemies, conveyor belts, spikes, watery pits, time travel and more. The deeper into this dream-like world that you venture, the more challenging the solutions and the greater the time pressure becomes. Along the way, look out for shortcuts and secret exits, and unlock bonus levels.

The elasticity of Kawase-chan's rubber fishing line sets it apart from other games, giving unprecedented levels of mobility and discovery. Tightening the line or giving lots of slack can be the difference between success and failure. The bungee-like nature of the fishing line allows the player to stretch down to otherwise unreachable areas or be catapulted upwards.
