Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a relaxed platformer may find the quick-reflex movement and increasing time pressure demanding.

What is Sayonara Umihara Kawase?
Sayonara Umihara Kawase is a physics-based puzzle-platform game in which Umihara uses a fishing rod, hook, and elastic line to move through surreal environments.
Players adjust the line’s tension and slack to swing, reach lower areas, or launch upward. Levels contain fish-like enemies, conveyor belts, spikes, watery pits, collectible items, branching paths, shortcuts, and secret exits. Bonus levels can be unlocked, while solutions become more challenging and time pressure increases deeper into the game. This entry is based on the PS Vita version and includes four playable characters. The page also lists Steam Workshop replay sharing, achievements, trading cards, leaderboards, cloud saving, giant aquatic bosses, and optional full Steam controller support.
