Available Now in Physical and Digital Editions
Nicalis, Inc. today announced that Umihara Kawase Fresh!, an adorable yet challenging “rubber-band action” game from Japanese developer Studio Saizensen, is now available in both physical and digital editions for PlayStation 4. The physical edition can be purchased at store.nicalis.com.
A fresh new chapter in the storied series, Umihara Kawase Fresh! features open-world platforming gameplay starring a young girl who uses her fishing lure as a grappling hook, allowing her to progress through the quaint frontier town of Kingness.
Players will need to jump, climb, swing and slingshot their way across platforms all over Kingness in order to clear goals and reach a specific destination to advance to the next quest. Each completed quest can be replayed in Time Attack mode, where a timer is added to let players compete for the best times in online leaderboard rankings.
Along the way, Kawase can use the lure to collect enemies and various food ingredients to store in her magical backpack. Combining ingredients with special recipes creates dishes that can be consumed to earn temporary special abilities, like jumping higher or being able to survive underwater for a longer time.
The game includes two additional playable characters: Curly Brace from Cave Story and Cotton from the scrolling shooter Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams. The PS4 edition also includes three new “Classic” stages that are based on familiar levels from previous Kawase games.
Umihara Kawase Fresh! is now available physically and digitally on PlayStation 4 for $39.99 MSRP. Physical and digital editions were also released previously for Nintendo Switch.
