Play Umihara Kawase (Japan) [En by Satsu v0.90] Online

Umihara Kawase is one of those weird, brilliant SNES games that feels like it shouldn’t work—but somehow does. You play as a girl with a fishing rod, and no, it’s not for catching fish. Instead, you’ll swing, grapple, and fling yourself across these surreal, bouncy levels like some kind of angler-themed Spider-Man.

The physics are janky in the best way possible—your line stretches, snaps, and whips you around with this oddly satisfying weight. At first, you’ll faceplant into walls or overshoot jumps, but once it clicks, pulling off a perfect swing feels amazing. The levels get wild fast, with conveyor belts, disappearing platforms, and enemies that look like sentient shrimp.

It’s tough, but not unfair—just the kind of game where you mutter "one more try" at 2 AM. The English patch makes it way more playable, though half the charm is the bizarre, dreamlike vibe anyway. If you like games that don’t hold your hand, this one’s a hidden gem.
