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 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 is absolutely INFURIATING. I just rage quit AGAIN because I am simply inadequate, in saying that, I LOVE IT. It delivers exactly as you would expect, senselessly difficult obstacles, insane loss of progress, beautiful scenery, and of course that annoying little heckler that keeps coming fun at my failures, all of which comes together perfectly in this addictive climb to the top. The only issue is the controls, but they seem to work better after some settings adjustments.

The game is hard. You begin to figure out, focus on the hammer only as the axis point of grip. And imagine a circle around the hammer 360 degrees of the touch screen. Now a protractor to move the hammer closer and away from you in a linier line. I watched a speed run to get better at the positions. The commentary's wants you to get mad don't you'll lose progress and motivation to continue. The music is a shot at the player enjoy it. Over all there is moments where you feel accomplishment.
