Image drawing of Kawase-san. (Not a screen shot.)
Title Screen
Fighting the first boss, a giant leaping tadpole.
Kawase-san is hanging on dearly to her life-line. A shark and some other fish are lurking below, but she is safe up there, for the moment.
Although it can't be seen from a still picture, the block that Kawase-san is hanging on to is a floating block. The block was blocking Kawase-san's path to the upper left (off-screen, atop that large block), so Kawase-san is using her body weight to pull the block away. She wants to swing and land to the right, climb the ladder, and then swing her way across (using the ceiling above, off-screen) to that path, and that has to be done in time before the block floats back to its original position.
