Getting Over It

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a challenging climbing game that pays homage to Jazzuo's 2002 B-Game classic 'Sexy Hiking'. In this unique experience, players control a man in a cauldron who must ascend an enormous mountain using only a hammer. The game features simple mouse-based controls where players manipulate the hammer to jump, swing, climb, and fly, mimicking real-life hiking movements. As players progress, they're accompanied by Bennett Foddy's philosophical commentary on their journey. The game is intentionally designed to be punishing, with playtimes ranging from 2 hours to infinity, and a median completion time of 5 hours among playtesters. A distinctive feature is the constant threat of losing all progress, creating new levels of frustration for players. Those who manage to reach the summit are promised great mysteries and a wonderful reward, making it a test of both skill and persistence.
