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.

now the concept of the game isn't the issue here. It's the fact a already hard game that I must pay for has constant bugs and sometimes the hammer is more slippery sometimes I have to go super far off the screen just to control a full circle and sometimes it doesnt save my progress even when I click the Exit button in the game. No game should be unplayable with poor port control especially if I must pay for it. I had high hopes for this game bc I like the climbing mountain kind of vibe here.

quite possibly the most frustrating mobile game i have ever played. I understand the perseverance aspect of this game, I also enjoy the narration and motivating quotes. What I find to be ludicrous is the controls...very little consistentcy and quite impossible to master. I honestly Uninstalled and recieved a refund for this reason. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME . The amount of frustration you go through for such an abysmal victory is egregious.

Despite the difficulty, I genuinely love this game, but I can only imagine it's easier to play on a computer when I'm not getting friction burns on my finger and fighting with the restrictions of my cheap phone. Maybe some day I'll have the extra time and money to buy it on PC and see for myself. That said, the narration is amazing, the premise is great, and even if I never become skilled enough to beat the game, I still enjoy the experience.
