About This Game Note!: This is Umihara Kawase Shun: Steam Edition, one game in the Umihara Kawase Trilogy. It is based on the DS and PSP versions 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) 7aa9394dea Title: Umihara Kawase Shun: Steam EditionGenre: Action, IndieDeveloper:Studio SaizensenPublisher:DegicaRelease Date: 24 Nov, 2015 Umihara Kawase Shun: Steam Edition Directx 9 Download I've known and loved this game for years, but unfortunately this is a lazy port. This "Steam Edition" doesn't have changes in graphics or interface. No mouse support, no key mapping. In the options you can assign commands to said buttons A B X Y R1/R2 L1/L2, even though you're not informed of what joypad you're supposed to use to play this game. If you don't use a joypad, you eventually find out you are stuck with the keyboard arrows and the keys A and Z. If you want a different mapping, you'll have to download a virtual joystick driver..

On the surface, the game looks and sounds (kind of) bad. The music is forgettable, the graphics are all over the place. Visually the levels are alright, but the assets are very low resolution and the pause menu UI doesn't fit with the game at all. The game is definitely not perfect....BUT to me the gameplay, especially the level design, is exceptional. I love how even though you don't gain abilities like you would in other games, you gradually discover new way to exploit the physics by playing. New shortcuts then appear in places you thought were untraversable. I also really like the branching levels wich force you to rediscover previous levels and give you alternative paths if another level feels too difficult.Compared to the first Umihara Kawase, I think this one is an improvement in every way. The unfair enemy spawns is toned down(thank god!) and you are given more tries to complete the game. The difficulty curve is still brutal, and I'm not sure I'll ever finish every levels, but it feels a lot more fair. I also think the new 3d look is better imoVery good game !. great game! very fun and challenging too.. On the surface, the game looks and sounds (kind of) bad.
