Getting Over It

This game, Getting Over It, is a peculiar game. A game made for a certain kind of person. A game meant 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 are a bald, topless man in a pot. You have a sledgehammer, excellent upper body strength, and hopefully an idomitable will of the mind, as you'll need them to climb the levels and complete your journey.

To play the game is simple.

You simply move the hammer around, manipulate it in such a way that it allows you to catch on protruding bits of the terrain. Move it again, delicately, or as rough as you like - to get yourself across your obstacles.

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.

At first, you will fail, a lot. You may feel frustrated with yourself, your inability to perform a simple action to complete the game. But the more you persist, the more you'll start to learn - about the intricacies of the movement as well as yourself. As the game slowly delves deeper into introspective musings each time you fail the climb.

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 the game make philosophical observations about the problem at hand.

• Lose all your progress, over and over. And then reclaim them.

• Feel new types of frustration you didn't know you were capable of.
