the great filter of 2024, almost every single (overtly) negative review on steam can be summed up as a simple issue of skill.

all this has told me is that umihara kawase (and other platformers that dont immediately hand you a million bing bing wahoo jumps without having worked for it) will prolly never see the light of day again.

edit: ...i will say though, that yeah, there is a mild amount of jank in here. nothing to really spoil the experience, but it's there.
editedit: okay, with all the complaints about bugs that i'm seeing, yeah i think i just got lucky with my playthrough.

(resending this because i missed the full context of the review, my bad) anybody thinking the game is absolute unredeemable garbage is taking it way too far, i will say tho, there were absolutely some deaths and failed high scores that were a result of bugs, and those can spoil the experience depending how unlucky you are to find them. tried to combo a stage a few days ago, jumped on a ledge and got flung at 88 miles per hour into a pit, for example. the controls are a whole other ballpark tho, i definitely got used to them after some time learning the combo mechanics, and there's a really cool amount of potential, even though i do feel that the rolling move could use more retuning. again, sorry for jumping the gun a bit on the deleted comment, i'm glad you had fun!

@TheMaxine lmao dont worry about it, i was being super condescending in my review anyways. i agree with u completely tho, about how this game would really benefit from a patch or fix or something. (and prolly better explaining how its controls work - i mean, i dont mind doing a bit of learning myself, but thats definitely not something for everyone, and the devs really shoulda accounted for that)
happy to speak with u !!🙏
