Umihara Kawase
A young traveling sushi chef and the playable protagonist. She carries a fishing rod whose elastic line is the central movement and combat tool.
How it plays
How does Umihara Kawase play?
The game uses a side-view perspective. Kawase must reach the exit of each self-contained stage while avoiding or defeating fish and managing hazards such as water, pits, and platforms.
Her fishing line can attach to surfaces and enemies. Players use it to pull, swing, climb, redirect momentum, and create safer routes. Stages are selected through connected exits, and later areas demand increasingly precise control of the line and the character’s movement.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Umihara Kawase?
Treat the fishing line as a physics tool rather than a simple grappling hook. Short casts are useful for changing direction, while long casts can create large swings and launch Kawase across gaps.
Study each stage before committing to a route. Keep distance from fish when possible, use platforms to control the line’s angle, and avoid releasing the line until Kawase’s momentum is favorable.
