The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. Players control Kawase across maze-like stages, using the fishing line to latch onto walls, ceilings, enemies, and objects. The rod can be fired, reeled in, and used to swing or slingshot forward. Progress depends on mastering momentum, angle control, and landing safely, while avoiding hazards and finding the correct route to each exit.

Umihara Kawase
The protagonist, a schoolgirl who relies on a fishing rod to traverse dangerous stages.
Practice the rod’s reach and rebound behavior in safe areas before attempting advanced routes. Small, controlled swings are often more reliable than long risky launches. Use intermediate surfaces to break difficult sections into manageable steps, and plan your line so you always have a recovery point if you miss a grab.
