About

The original game that started it all, Umihara Kawase, is now on Steam!

Play as Umihara Kawase, a young adventurer armed with a fishing lure attached to a stretchy, rubber-like rope, in this one-of-a-kind puzzle platformer.

Hook onto walls and ceilings, then use the line's elasticity to swing, bounce, and launch yourself through each stage. There's rarely just one way forward - experiment with your surroundings, forge your own routes where no path exists, and master increasingly advanced movement techniques as you progress through the stages.

Along the way, reel in the strange fish that stand in your way and put your skills to the test across stages that reward creativity, precision, and practice.

Simple to pick up but incredibly deep to master, Umihara Kawase combines action and puzzle elements that challenge you to figure out a variety of possible routes. The rewarding process of mastering techniques through ingenuity and repeated practice offers surprising depth that reveals itself the more you play!

This is the essence of "Rubbering Action"!
