This little-known Japanese wire-action platformer, with a very well-made rubber wire physics simulating engine, sports a schoolgirl setting out to rid the world of giant mutant fish.
The game is very easy to win, but very difficult to play (try it). This video demonstrates one of the fastest paths to the ending, including quite a few almost impossible maneuvers ― whether playing tool-assisted or not.
This video is a 7 seconds improvement to the previous version.
See the Umihara Kawase page for more information about this game, and the author's comments for more information about this movie.
Umihara Kawase (海腹川背) is about a schoolgirl with a bag of holding and a rubber fishing line setting out to rid the world of giant mutant fish.
This video plays the fastest path of the game having only two bosses, which you can find at the Field Map page.
The Umihara Kawase page has more information about this game.
The boss levels are quite long in this movie ― they can't really be sped up, but the authors of the movie have done their best to make them worth watching.
Thanks to a different route and a lot of optimization, this run obsoletes one of the oldest previously unobsoleted runs of the site by about 01:29.04 minutes.
No frogs were harmed in the making of this movie.
The baseline tab shows the default movie beating the game as fast as possible without any special conditions.
