About This Game 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.Trilogy FeaturesPhysics-based puzzle/platforming that challenges your reflexes and brainpowerExtreme elastic fishing-line physics give you advanced controlMany stages with branching paths across three complete gamesSteam Workshop support in all three games for sharing replaysFour playable characters (in Sayonara Umihara Kawase)Face giant, aquatic bosses like a tadpole, a seahorse, and moreSteam Achievements, Trading Cards, Leaderboards, and Cloud SavingFull Steam controller support for all three games (optional) 1075eedd30 Title: Sayonara Umihara KawaseGenre: Action, IndieDeveloper:Studio SaizensenPublisher:DegicaRelease Date: 6 Oct, 2015 Sayonara Umihara Kawase Crack 64 Bit Bionic Commando with cute girls and walking fish. The puzzlest of platformers. Use fishing line to move yourself around large art supplies and search for doors to the next set of large art supplies. You've never known a tension like this before.. Own a vive and want to play a good platformer on it? Buy this.Now with VR support. Already an excellent platformer and you should see the reviews why, and now with VR support as an update; the 3ds version can only dream of being this immersive. Looking around and seeing the whole stage, being able to see depth, can help knowing when the cast the hook. Frame rate is VR spec.Note: the moment you start the game, press start to reset the view to your default head position, VR dimension settings can be adjusted in the options menu, such as scale of the area.Kinda cute moving you head around and looking at the characters and mobs on screen.. This is a superior version of the 3DS port that came to the United States. Runs at 60fps and has a good online time ranking infrastructure. The Umihara Kawase games have such a wonderful feel and at 15 bucks this one is a steal (it originally retailed for 30 on the 3DS). I've always loved exploring and rubbering around in the surreal Umihara Kawase worlds and I'm so happy that this and apparently the other ones are coming to Steam. The truth is, Umihara and I are best friends in real life. We got on adventures together and she shares her best sushi recipes with me. gone fishin!!bob is the killer nice game ahahahHAHAHAHahahah wish it had a BOAT. The Umihara Kawase series is known for its fun-yet-difficult platforming, and for the most part, hasn't really changed too much in the past 20 or so years. Sayonara Umihara Kawase, the most recent entry to the series (actually released a while back on 3DS and PS Vita), is no different, for the most part. Still, should you pick it up?Gameplay:As stated earlier, the core mechanics of this game aren't all-too different from the old Super Famicom game. Many people describe it as Bionic Commando-esque, in that you use a hookshot-like item to aid in much of your platforming, and I'd say that's quite a good comparison (other than the fact that you can, in fact, jump in this game). Your character wields a fishing hook, which you use to grab onto walls, as well as stun your enemies (which are mostly walking fish). As you progress through the game, or whenever you feel like speedrunning through the levels, you'll eventually have to employ some tricks with your fishing hook to reach various platforms in the game, or help boost you through levels quicker. Some include using your hook to launch yourself into a sprint, swinging around walls\/ceilings in the level (which is pretty challenging to do right), etc. It's a lot of fun, once you get used to it, and it's pretty neat to see yourself pull off these weird tricks (see some videos of the gameplay to get a sense of the kind of tricks you can do).Music:The music in this game is extremely calming, and catchy. I admit, I found myself trying to beat levels just to uncover more of the soundtrack. In fact, the music of the trailer was one of the things that drew me into this game, in the first place. This is definitely welcome, given the frustrating difficulty of the game. If you've ever played Donkey Kong Country 2, I would liken the use of the music in this game to how Donkey Kong Country 2 used Stickerbrush Symphony (one of my favorite songs from a video game) for its Bramble levels (which were also rather frustratingly difficult).Graphics:Sayonara Umihara Kawase provides no way to control the graphical quality of the game, so you're stuck with relatively low resolution graphics (no 1080p, basically). This can be quite annoying, as you'll wind up with pretty pixelated graphics. On the bright side, you do get 60 frames per second, which is a welcome change compared to the 3DS and PS Vita versions of the game (which were locked at 30 frames per second), so the animation is very smooth. The artstyle is also quite decent; backgrounds and levels colorful, and the enemies look quite whimsical in nature. It's not anything amazing, based on my knowledge of anime art (though, I admit, I'm no anime art connoisseur), but it gets the job done.Conclusion:If you want a challenging platformer, and\/or are into speedrunning, this game could be of interest to you. I especially recommend this game, if you're a fan of the Umihara Kawase series, as it's more of the same. If you already have the 3DS and\/or PS Vita version, I'm not sure this adds too much. Personally, if I already had those versions, I probably wouldn't have bought this on Steam. However, if you'd like to see the game run in 60 fps, have achievements, or possibly make use of the Steam Workshop for it, Sayonara Umihara Kawase might be worth a look, even if you already have the 3DS and PS Vita version(s).. The latest installment of the cult classic series that unexpectedly made its way to Steam, it's hard to say anything negative about this game. It's a physics based platformer where you travel using a fishing line to find exits; simple, but absolutely not easy. Controls feel very nice, and difficult nature of the game is complemented by its calm atmosphere.The only flaw that the Steam version has is the port. It runs very well and at constant 60FPS with no framedrops whatsoever, but there are no graphic options to choose from, and that includes resolution. Seriously, there is no reason to not include additional resolutions in a 3D game, especially when everything else is done so well. Also, GeDoSaTo doesn't work with it as of writing this review.. Sayonara UmiharaKawase is a good Playstation Vita port that runs at 544p.If you like Playstation Vita ports that run at 544p, you can't go wrong with Sayonara UmiharaKawase.Get yours today.
