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.

This game is great. It's angering, but after about the 20th win, it's pretty fun. But there are 2 things to note: First, you the semsitivity is preset low so you should max it before beginning. Also, on the mobile version, bugs slowly begin to appear throughout the gameplay. This ranges from textures disappearing and turning pink, to the settings menu forcing itself open making it hard to play.

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!

This game should 4-5 stars, but people are dumb and give the game 1 star because it's a hard game, ignore all bad reviews. Getting Over It is one of the best games if you're looking for a challenge. You need skill and finesse to make any progress, and you often lose large amounts of progress because of one mistake. That being said, this is one of the most rewarding games. You learn to expect failure and to celebrate progress. It provides an amazing and frustrating experience that is unrivaled.
