Getting Over It

About this game

A game I made
For a certain kind of person

To hurt them.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a punishing climbing game, a homage to Jazzuo's 2002 B-Game classic 'Sexy Hiking'. You move the hammer with the mouse, and that's all there is. With practice, you'll be able to jump, swing, climb and fly. Great mysteries and a wonderful reward await the master hikers who reach the top of the mountain.

To quote Jazzuo himself: "The hiking action is very similar to way you would do it in real life, remember that and you will do well".

• Climb up an enormous mountain with nothing but a hammer and a pot.
• Listen as I make philosophical observations about the problem at hand.
• Between 2 and ∞ hours of agonizing gameplay, depending. The median time to finish for my playtesters was 5 hours, but the mean was closer to ∞.
• Lose all your progress, over and over.
• Feel new types of frustration you didn't know you were capable of.

Ratings and reviews

Frustrating, but in an interesting way. You get in the games, and you spawn next to an dead tree that is blocking the rest of the game. When or (IF) you get over that tree, the rest of the game is vast and open. But it is only 2d. When you get some good place to quit, you quit! I hope you will enjoy this game as much as I did, And have an good time!

it's nice, the difficulty and message are good. but it really needs some form of controller support, or at least controls options. the fact that there is no joystick ui, and somehow all controls are relative makes it incredibly difficult to get the hammer to move how you want it to. for a game thats supposed to be about perseverance, it makes it feel like it actually isn't in your control at all, and pretty well ruins it. unfortunately google makes refunds pretty difficult

Extremely frustrating, and it's part of the charm of this game. One wrong move can send you right back to the start, and it'll take a lot of practise to make any progress in some sections. The controls could be better. They're alright when you're wildly swinging around, but when making more delicate movements they can be janky. Although the game is supposed to be frustrating, the janky controls are something that's not the player's fault. Graphics are alright, commentary is delightful.
