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.

I missed the arrival of this game on other platforms and only just learned of it. Having no experience playing it with a mouse, I only know the frustration of it using touchscreen controls. Those who bemoan the controls as "poor" have not ventured deep enough into the game to glimpse the truth I have found within: that it is not about you controlling the character, for you cannot. You can only control which instincts/reactions to train, and that it is the environment which is controlling you.

very challenging but thats just part of the game. the only part I dont get is the janky controls. im trying to make careful movements to manoeuvre through obstacles and suddenly he just goes flying in whatever direction, really takes the fun out of it especially if it causes a set back

The controls are simple, but hard to master. A lot of people blame them, but I don't think that's right. Walking is hard for babies, but it becomes natural once you get used to it. Turn input acceleration off, and sens all the way down, and it feels quite comfortable. My favourite part of this game is the commentary. Try to appreciate it as you climb, it's really poetic. As long as you appreciate a pure challenge, no rewards, no upgrades, just skill, this is for you. Try not to get emotional.
