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.

I am yet to get over it but finding the test of will and patience engaging. I have never played this with a mouse on PC as it was originally designed, but find the mobile controls intuitive and straightforward enough, however I wonder if the touch screen is even more challenging than this is for the mouse, making a hard game a little harder. Still enjoying it!

now the concept of the game isn't the issue here. It's the fact a already hard game that I must pay for has constant bugs and sometimes the hammer is more slippery sometimes I have to go super far off the screen just to control a full circle and sometimes it doesnt save my progress even when I click the Exit button in the game. No game should be unplayable with poor port control especially if I must pay for it. I had high hopes for this game bc I like the climbing mountain kind of vibe here.
