i be havin the best time, then BAM, a fish spawns on top of me randomly and i die

basically the first rage game? outside of maybe Top Banana it's the 90s game that's reminded me most of ArmorGames-tier flash platformers: bizarre aesthetics in a platformer based around one central gimmick that's often brutally hard. however, unlike all of those games (and top banana, which is basically just similar on aesthetics), this game's rock solid in how it implements its fishing hook mechanics, with umihara being an absolute blast to control through the cleverly designed levels, i'd def have finished it in one sitting if playing on legitimate nintendo hardware didnt hurt the fuck out of my thumb. would be a solid contender for my favorite platformer if it wasn't for how fucking annoying the enemies are. the stationary ones that are always there are fine, but when a fuckin salmon or whatever randomly decides to spawn next to me and knock me into spikes that shit aint good. also, the bosses are fucking terrible!
