Our take on Rumia Throws!
The object-focused combat gives stages a broad set of interactions, but it also makes encounters depend on handling different item properties rather than a small, fixed moveset. Players looking for a tightly standardized combat loop may find that variety adds extra decision-making during each stage.
What is Rumia Throws!?
Rumia Throws!
is a 2D, stage-based action game in which Rumia gathers food by defeating every enemy on each map and collecting the meat at the goal. Objects such as boxes, rocks, and fish can be thrown, kicked, or ridden, with properties including weight, speed, buoyancy, flammability, power, and penetration. Rumia can also parry projectiles, perform forceful kicks, and activate a high-damage special move when her motivation gauge is full. The game includes over 100 stages across locations in Gensokyo, with Touhou characters appearing as area bosses. Kyoko Kasodani is an additional playable character with broom attacks and sound-based abilities. Stage completion without damage and 40 achievements provide replay goals.
