!!!Umihara Kawase - Rubbering Action Game ---- [https://files.tasvideos.org/gameresources/snes/umiharakawase/umiharashort.png|right] Umihara Kawase is a little-known Japanese game superficially similar to Top Secret or Ninja Five-O. The player takes the role of Umihara, a schoolgirl armed with a pink backpack and a rubber fishing line, and tries to navigate a series of interconnected non-linear levels called Fields, amassing score by capturing Darwinist nightmare fish along the way. The game isn't that long if you're only trying to see the ending. Demonstratedly the game is possible to finish in about 2 minutes.%%% The true fun of the game is in tricks and competition. This is an incredibly difficult game to ''play'' even if it's not a difficult game to ''win'' (similar to Ikaruga in that respect).

Much is still to be done. ---- See also: * [Movies-111G|List of published Umihara Kawase game movies]
