Umihara Kawase is a series of platform games, starring a nineteen-year-old Japanese school girl (Kawase Umihara), who has somehow become lost in a world of mutated salt-water and fresh-water creatures. The Umihara Kawase games' main distinction are their tranquil fish and bird infested worlds and the rope physics, which defines the gameplay. This is the third game of the series.

I'd say pass it. Its only saving grace is its VR mode, but that was only barely a silver lining.

Difficult physics-based grapple platformer. The concept is really great and gives a unique movement system with a high skill ceiling. I definitely got better as I played but it still felt very inconsistent all the way through since it's so wobbly and weird. It's somewhere between satisfying and extremely rage-inducing, I would say Getting Over It is a lot more fair and reasonable than this game.

The graphics and music are nice and cheery which almost gaslights you into thinking this isn't a masochistic game. Sadly the PC port is half assed so the resolution is low and the controls are terrible. You can fix the internal resolution with a third-party tool but this shouldn't be the user's responsibility. I suspect you'd have a better experience emulating this game since these problems would be nullified and you'd also have save-states available which I would definitely have appreciated.

Additionally, I felt the level design was quite terrible. There is a huge learning curve so at the beginning you aren't going to pay much attention to this but later on I realised a lot of the levels are just tedious or incredibly painful rather than being fun.

I still like the game despite all its problems since the core gameplay is good and entirely unique from what I can tell, it also has great vibes. I'll definitely try other games in the series since there isn't really anything else like this out there. I just wish this game was better since it clearly has huge potential.

Me thinks they should put Kawase in Senran Kagura for my personal gooning sessions

It's a low budget 3DS game that doesn't really do anything new or different than it's predecessors, but it does have a grappling hook. Mediocre graphics, mediocre music, mediocre level design, perfect grappling hook. Once you understand how it works, it is so fun to just fling yourself around.
Here's a bar graph of how many times I died in each level:
