Sayonara Umihara Kawase

Note!: This represents Sayonara Umihara Kawase, a single title within the Umihara Kawase Trilogy, based on the PS Vita edition. The following text describes the full trilogy. Simple to learn yet challenging to master, the Umihara Kawase Trilogy compiles three physics-based puzzle-platformers boasting over two decades of history. Developed by original creators Kiyoshi Sakai and Toshinobu Kondo, this cult classic became a Japanese indie sensation. You control Umihara Kawase, a backpacking sushi chef heroine equipped with a fishing rod, elastic line, and hook. Navigate past fish-like enemies, conveyor belts, spikes, water pits, and time travel elements. Gather items and reach the exit of every stage. As you progress deeper into this dream world, solutions become more complex and time limits stricter. Watch for hidden shortcuts and secret exits to unlock bonus stages. The elasticity of Umihara's line distinguishes the trilogy, offering unmatched freedom of movement. Mastering the line's tension or slack determines success or failure, enabling you to stretch down to hidden zones or launch upward. Trilogy Features include physics-based puzzles testing reflexes and intelligence, extreme elastic line mechanics for advanced control, multiple stages with branching paths across three titles, Steam Workshop support for replay sharing, four playable characters in Sayonara Umihara Kawase, battles against massive aquatic bosses like tadpoles and seahorses, Steam Achievements, Trading Cards, Leaderboards, and Cloud Saving, plus full Steam controller support for all three games.
