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.

Here's the thing. I know this game is supposed make you rage. It's supposed to be hard. But it's not supposed to be glitchy. In the PC version, the controls are intuitive because there is a cursor for the hammer to follow. On mobile, the controls are a) very difficult because there is no cursor, b) the hammer sometimes gets a mind of its own and sends you flying when you're trying to make small adjustments, and c) dragging your finger across the screen takes away from its original simplicity.

The game is a horrible excuse for the original as I don't think they could've screwed up the port from PC to mobile any worse than they did. The controls are awful and don't work as on PC you have a mouse and this wouldn't be bad if you couldn't plug a mouse or connect one into a phone. When you do this it doesn't work on the game but for some reason works in the menus. Another note the game isn't available for things like a chromebook. I've seen crappies games that work with a mouse, makes me ☹

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.
