About Sayonara Umihara Kawase
Sayonara Umihara Kawase is a physics-based puzzle platformer where you control a sushi chef wielding an elastic fishing line to navigate surreal dream-like levels filled with fish enemies, spikes, and environmental obstacles. Master the unique mechanics of your fishing line's elasticity to swing, catapult, and stretch your way through branching paths, secret shortcuts, and challenging boss encounters that demand both reflexes and creative problem-solving.

Note!: This is Sayonara Umihara Kawase, one game in the Umihara Kawase Trilogy. It is based on the PS Vita version of the game. Below is a description of the entire trilogy.
Easy to play, difficult to master, the Umihara Kawase Trilogy is a collection of three physics-based puzzle/platformer games with over 20 years of gaming history. Developed by the creators of the original game (Kiyoshi Sakai and Toshinobu Kondo), this cult classic was a Japanese indie smash hit!
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. Collect items, and find your way to the end of each level. 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 Umihara’s fishing line sets the Umihara Kawase Trilogy 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 or failure. The elastic nature of the fishing line allows the player to stretch down to otherwise unreachable areas or be catapulted upwards.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Sayonara Umihara Kawase is a challenging fishing-hook platformer that offers accessibility features like level selection and difficulty tiers for various skill levels, alongside quality-of-life additions like a music player and walkthrough tips. However, players report that the stages are significantly harder than previous entries in the series, with some spending hours on single levels, and control issues like unreliable diagonal hook inputs can compound the frustration, making it primarily recommended for veterans of the franchise rather than newcomers.
Really great game and one of the best platformers out there! I feel like this is the best Umihara Kawase game to start out with, the levels aren't that hard (except for the crab boss which made me so mad..) and it's nice being able to replay levels infinitely without being sent all the way back to the beginning. It's the most accessible Umihara Kawase game, and in my opinion the best one!1 found this helpful
Cult classic port. It's the very same game I played years ago. Beside the addition of a VR mode that I can't test and a Steam workshop feature that I am not sure what it is for, nothing changed here; the same bugs remain here from the Vita port. This version could've benefited from many QoL features honestly, like widescreen or maybe proper stereo implementations. Aside from all of this, Umihara Kawase is a cool platformer with cool rubberband physics, the inputs do exactly as I command. For the new commers, it's a hard to pick up and hard to master game. The tutorial are a good intro, and if you care about score attacking, there is a (as of now) cheaters-free leaderboard. The soundtrack is great and memorable. If you want a challenging platformer game, go for it. 10/10!
A fishing line swings Through strange worlds with careful aim Momentum guides her home
great beginner kawase. super duper fun. exploring the stages for backpacks really drives the replayability.
It's a must-play for fans of the series but it's probably the weakest entry overall (at least considering it follows Shun, which is arguably the best). That said, as difficult as it [i]most certainly can be[/i], it's also the most beginner-friendly of the trilogy.
umihara kawase somehow does more fishing than mario does plumbing.
