Agatsuma Entertainment brings a cult-classic's latest iteration to the PlayStation Vita, Sayonara UmiharaKawase +.
In this 'Rubbering Action' physics-based, puzzle-platform game, you will play as Umihara Kawase, a backpacking, Japanese sushi chef who's armed with a fishing rod. The fishing line's rubberized nature is what makes this game unique as you will utilize it to bungee down or catapult upwards by tightening or slacking the line in certain ways. Players will be have to avoid fish-like enemies, conveyer belts, spikes, watery pits, time travel, and more as the levels get more challenging as you progress and time pressure compels you to move faster. Just like other platformer games, there are secret exits and bonus levels to find throughout levels which add to the exploration factor. This should be quite a fun time for speed-runners out there.
