Umihara Kawase
Amazing game. Umihara Kawase is a platformer where most of the gameplay revolves around using an elastic fishing line to get around the level and attack enemies. Think the grappling hook from worms - except the elasticity adds a huge amount of complexity. Combined with the rock-solid physics, this leads to a very fun game that ramps up the difficulty to insane levels, requiring serious speedrunner rubberband tactics to just pass later levels.
The fishing line has a seemingly infinite learning curve, 40 hours in and I’m still learning new techniques. Initially you’ll be using it to swing across pits and climb upwards, but soon you’ll find yourself using the tension to slingshot yourself across levels, or ‘rocket jump’ over hazards. The layout of the levels make this as much puzzle as platforming: particular levels can take forever to figure out, though if you are having difficulty you can consult the library of replays that the community shares through the steam workshop integration.

My favorite of the Umihara Kawase games, through the least forgiving. UK is a purely arcade experience, with no story or any other unnecessary trappings. The game is presented in stages, where you start at point a and try to get to point b, mainly by experimenting with the physics of your fishing hook.
The big draw is that a lot of the stages have multiple exits and/or can be beaten in a different manner depending on the level of your skill with the fishing hook. The hook has some cool physics, especially considering how the old game is. The original UK has the best gameplay “feel” to me; it feels faster and the hook physics just seem more springy in a good way than the sequels. Learning how to use the hook to throw Umi all over the place in very rewarding.

Without my arms
Very frustrating, but insanely fun to play!!!
Although when closing the game, keep in mind it doesnt save progress.
Had a lot of fun playing and will definitely play it again, might even try to beat nr. on leaderboard ;)

Game is pretty fun, you can do quest to gain bonus(like the grappling hook on the tongue)/malus which in return, will affect the ending you get (6 ending, with cutscene coming up in the future) Gameplay is solid with or without the grappling hook and theres a baby mode with checkpoints for people who don’t handle rage well
Map design is really well done although simple, you have a basic design, and you have a harder path once you’ve become better at then game, that skip thing but is, well, harder.

Deleveled
Got the game for free from a friend’s Humble Bundle + thought I’d just try it out for a laugh because I like puzzles.
Good game, simple layout with retro simplistic touch and no frill level maps.
Fun mechanics: you need to make two opposite balls jump up certain obstacles by using the bounce gained by falling from previous obstacles - and if you lose the bounce due to a false movement you might be stuck. If you still manage to solve the puzzle, you can solve the level but lose the star that would be granted if you make it in one flawless go.

Deleveled has a lot of personality and was a very fun experience. Minimalist puzzle games are my jam and this is one is pretty top-tier.
The concept of pushing all the switches is simple and original, and the levels are designed expertly so that you are not locked into one specific solution or switch order. When I consulted a video walkthrough for some of the levels I found that where I was in the stage was completely different than the walkthrough, which speaks well of the multiple solutions design. There is a moderate amount of platforming in the game, which did get frustrating at times but overall I could tell the developer had fun implementing these solutions and mechanics so it wasn’t that bad.

LOST EGG
Really fun game. I love platformers and this gave me such a refreshing challenge in gameplay. I would highly recommend if you want a challenging platformer that’s also really chill : )

Two dollars gave me two hours of frustrating “punch the table” fun. There are only 5 levels and the replay value is none. Do yourself a favor (at the time of writing) pause the game and spam jump to do super jumps. Have fun destroying the game. That alone is worth two dollars for me. If you were expecting more…then that might be your fault.

Umihara Kawase Shun
The fairest Umihara game, the only one that normal people could beat without hours of practice, you can unlock permanent continues by finding new levels too.
Simple platforming gimmick, the bungie/grappling hook, that allows for alot of options and potential routes per level.
Umihara is heavier now.
She now has a snazzy jacket, though.
Less diversity of environment than the original, just as surreal though.
Boss fights are still shitty.
One of the best platformers ever made. Best in it’s series just because of higher QOL than it’s prequel.

Umihara Kawase Shun is an amazing game and you won’t be disappointed. If only want to buy one of the games, then buy this one!
Umihara Kawase is a unique platformer with a grapple mechanic that feels and plays amazing. The OST is is nothing special but it is really nice and comfy.
Honestly there isn’t much I can say but just to get it! Umihara Kawase has become my favorite game series so much so, that by now I own it for most platforms that it released on!

Broll
Awesome and hilarious game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyvjDdF7VIk&ab_channel=JakeKet

Broll is a relatively short game, but it packs itself full of fun. The ragdoll mechanic looks very hard to control, but is extremely well executed. Some checkpoints are easy, and some very difficult, but they’re all doable. I hope more levels are coming! Well worth the price, on sale or not.

Eggy
If this game ended after The end? Level I would have given it a good review but it doesn’t. The game ends after Vulcano which is a poorly designed hell compared to the rest of the game. It’s like going from easy to expert. It took me 6 hours to casually make it to the last level but since then I have spent 14 hours trying to complete Vulcano with no luck.

I just fully completed the game and I can definitely say: it was absolutely worth my time, effort and money. Eggy is a fantastic 2D-platformer with intriguing physics, stunning environments and a lot of creativity.
The game can be frustrating at times, but unlike games such as Getting Over It, Eggy does have checkpoints. Everytime you make it to another checkpoint after a hard section, you feel satisfied and motivated to continue playing.
The game also truly rewards creativity. While there always is a path available to go, thinking out of the box can occasionally work in your favor and reward you with a shortcut or secret.

Guns and Grapples
I absolutely love this game! It takes a while to master, but I enjoy playing it. 8 hours in and I’m only on world 5 because you can play this game in so many different ways! Great for completionists, speed runners, and casual gamers! I normally can’t play platformers for long before getting bored. But the challenge this game provides keeps me hooked! I highly recommend trying!
