Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

if you find yourself finishing this game more than once just why dude there's better things to do with your time in saying that someone pls help ive now completed this game 63 times.

Honestly a great game, I just wish it would come with the hammer so I can throw it at my monitor.

This game is an absolute work of art. If you're able to beat this game, then you share many things in common with others who have climbed. The way that you can form a sense of community with people you've never even talked to is incredible, not to mention the genius commentary throughout your climb. I've played many games that claim to be adventurous, but few can live up to that title. This game truly is an adventure.

This game is not for you, unless you take it for what it is. It's a mountain, un-movable, un-avare.
Also, it doesnt work on Linux, so i recommend boot up windows and finish it there (advancements othervise dont work)

I used to laugh at Mark for raging and now that I've actually tried it, I owe him an apology.

This game has some of the most bullshit mechanics I've ever seen. The hammer angel control automatically resets after you move it, which results in your character doing random movements you don't want him to do. I also found the area just after the first section very infuriating because the hitboxes on the rocks are extremely slippery and it's almost impossible to get consistent at. There are random areas that are very easy to choke and are much harder than anything around them. This is just a shitty rage game made to torture the player, thank god I bought this while it was on sale, because if I spent 7 dollars on this crap I would have never forgiven myself.

Do not play this game. It is purposefully unfair and buggy, and Bennet Foddy is clearly a psychopath who should probably be locked away from society. FUCK THIS GAME.

Now you might be wondering why would someone ever spend more than hour in a rage game like Getting Over It? At first I had that same question but I soon realized people don't care about the funny lookin cauldron man they care about Bennett. Some people may hate him but other love him, he's like your dad in the game. I couldn't stop playing once I heard his irresistible voice. Somedays I would open the game to hear Bennett's silky smooth voice tell me that I almost made to the top and his truly poetic words kept me from falling off the edge. Needless to say I made it there and have no regrets, I just miss his voice.

This is a difficult game that will test your patience. However, if you stick to it (and ignore the narrator's attempts to tilt you), the game is more than worth the price of admission.

Before you buy this game, read the store page description:

"A game I made for a certain kind of person, to hurt them."

Okay. Now read it again. I want to be perfectly clear: this was made by a sadist, for masochists. Unless you are a masochist, or you think it would be funny to have Mr. Foddy torment you for a while (perhaps if you're playing it for an audience), you shouldn't pick the game up. It will hurt you.

That said, I have a lot of respect for what went into it. Getting Over It is a masterpiece in its own way. It can be immensely frustrating, but sometimes that's what you need: to chip away at an extraordinarily difficult obstacle and eventually work past it, or come to terms with failure. It's in the name, after all.

It is bit difficult but when you know how to do it. This is very fun and interesting try once your money will not get wasted but Bennett Foddy is behen ka loda by carryminati

i pray on this mans downfall

Otherwise this game is very niceing. I like the soundtrack.

However for your own sanity I urge you to stay as far away from this THING as possible. Just as Mark said... if you use this game to torture the worst of your enemies, you would be seen as cruel, a monster perhaps.

Another banger that I was forced to play for hours and hours on end, fun experience I must say. On my way currently to get the last achievement, not as hard as one might think. I do have to say tho, spending more than 20 minutes on this game will make your blood boil

Good luck :)

pretty fun and easy game, buy this if you want a casual and calming experience.

Play this game only if you are a masochist. I have discovered I am one of those people after 100 percenting the game. 8/10 would recommend

Alright, let's talk about Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy!

Getting Over It – Climb That Mountain!

Imagine trying to climb a really tall mountain, but you're stuck in a pot and you can only use a hammer! That's Getting Over It! It's a game that's really hard, but also really funny (and sometimes frustrating!).

What You Do:

Move with a Hammer: You use a hammer to swing yourself around and try to climb up the mountain.
Try Not to Fall: It's really easy to fall, and when you do, you go all the way back down!
Listen to Bennett Foddy: The game's creator talks to you while you play, and he says some really funny (and sometimes deep) things.
How it Runs:

Getting Over It isn't a game with fancy graphics, so it runs on almost any computer. It's a simple game, so you don't need a super-powerful machine.

What's Fun (and Frustrating) About It:

It's really fun to try and figure out how to climb, even though it's super hard. It's also funny to hear what Bennett Foddy says. But, be warned, it can be very frustrating when you fall!

Conclusion:

If you like games that are a challenge, and if you don't mind getting a little frustrated, Getting Over It is a really unique and interesting game. Just remember to take breaks!

I don't understand the praise for this game. The creator goes on to explain the philosophical justification for creating janky media that traumatized a generation of gamers. Looking at the gameplay of Sexy Hiking, this game is meant as a homage to it but also takes notes of players like Foddy's rage and emotional turmoils in a semi-3d setting. This game isn't meant for everyone. This game isn't even meant for you, reader. If you're already reading through reviews to justify why you want to play this, then don't. This is for the naive, those who don't understand that having limitations is a good thing. Anger shouldn't be your reason for liking a game. It's a toxic emotion when it's your main way to describe how you feel climbing the mountain and into space. As for me, I want to be happy playing a game and enjoying what it has to offer.

Hi, I've gone to the top 50 times in these 19 or so hours (and I AFK'd a lot) and I have a few words of advice:

This game at first seems daunting but then I realized one simple thing: Its all about controlling the hammer properly. The game has a lot of troll design. You are at a lot of points a lot closer to dropping to the bottom than you realize. With the clumsy controls and the map design that at a lot of points leaves very intentional holes in the ground for you to fall into there is always that risk...

BUT, it becomes a 5-10 minute challenge after you take a few tries and realize that the hammer is not as unpredictable as you first thought. You learn the tricks, the pogo jumps, the catapult style climbing, and taking the snake is actually no big deal since you'll be up there in no time. Take a good while trying to understand how the hammer moves and its different movements. REAL good game.

worst game ever, Not worth it.
You WILL ragequit multiple times
you WILL break several keyboards
It's not worth it.

After having just beat the game for the 50'th time, i think i am able to say that this game is absolutely fantastic.
This is a philosophical game about climbing, more specifically the emotional process of climbing. Reaching new heights, falling back down, trying again and again, learning every step of the way.

You could go into this game, taking every fall as a loss and proceed to get upset. But i think it's much better to take every fall as a lesson. And also a gift, a gift that lets you get even better. A gift that lets you master your craft. All the while Bennett Foddy guides you along your journey, discussing game design topics, and the current state of internet culture.

Play the game, if you are prepared to face a very challenging, but also rewarding task.

I got over it, then i got over it, for real this time but then... i got so over it and i loved it.

Amazing, frustrating game. I beat it in just under 4 hours, and it was one hell of a game. Highly recommend you finish it.

I can beat this obby with ease just that the problem is that sexy hiking has REAL PIXELS and the big disappointment about this game is that HALF of the pixels are not real. This game is super easy i could beat it with ease just that this game does NOT have real pixels. Half of the pixels are either empty or non clingable. Especially the hat part u cannot climb up at all. Its all luck based even speed runners have to restart a whole run if they mess up that part on how "real" the pixels are. What a sadness of the game not being able to fix itself up and make the pixel real like "sexy hiking" has.

its fun and hard but fun

hard but it feels like your fault when you fall... and trust me, you will

Pretty hard game but also pretty good game and i like the sound effects the guy in the pot makes. (Fair warning to new players if your going forward he will go as fast as a snail but if you falling or bouncing off the walls he will go as fast as lightning.)

I have played this game for 154 hours! I have not won! This is the hardest game ever or it may just be a skill issue. Anyways this game is very fun and very rage inducing.

Not at all angering as long as the music plays when you fall. Great reminder to not get high.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy doesn't have much going for it, at least at face value. Abandoning anachronistic ideals regarding gameplay design, this game marked the beginning of a new movement of eccentric and burdensome games, which include titles like Only Up and Chained Together. Coming from the creative mind of QWOP, it's no wonder this game's controls make you feel like a fat buttmuncher. The gameplay is very rewarding though, because once you get used to the less-than-convienent controls, ascending becomes more and more straightforward. I have beaten this game over 70 times, 2 of which were with a N64 controller, so I see the true value of this game as a measure of your success and adaptability as a player. Please don't make a video game ever again Bennett, thanks <3

I would highly recommend this game, it is very calming and easy going!!!

This game is truly one of the best games IMO. Constantly try to better yourself makes it so annoying, yet fun at the same time. If you are on the fence of this game i'd say get it. You will suck for the first 5 hours, but after that you just get better and better,

Whenever I'm feeling mad, irritated or distraught I play this game. It makes me feel better as I realize that there is no reason to be angry and irritated, as being angry does nothing to progress anything. Being angry in fact makes progression harder than it would be. Remember this and your life will be much easier. Thank you Bennett. (I also just like playing it because I like a challenge)

7/10. This game has to be one of the best/worst experiences of my life. The feeling of falling after so long and just having to go again is AWFUL. And with Bennett Foddy talking throughout your entire climb, being both a peaceful story/mocking you as well. Just watch Markiplier before you play this game. He is the one person that truly expressed the feelings of rage this game can make.

This game is quite possibly one of the best pieces of performance art that we have seen in eons. Not only does it provide you with an incredibly simple set of base mechanics, but it also provides you a map that you can entirely complete using said mechanics. That being said, it is entirely engineered to be as much of a thorn in the ass as it could possibly be. The map is not random, quite the opposite. Attention has been given to every single part and asset of the map, and moreover how they interact with one another. Unlike other iterations of "rage" games, Getting Over It is not random, every mistake you make feels intentional. The game is very easily beatable, if you have patience. That being said, it is indescribably difficult to keep your patience when you accidentally make a mistake and fall ill to the intentionally engineered map that is specifically designed to make you rage. It also doesn't help that every time you make a mistake the game rubs it in your face by quoting ancient relics recited by the greats of at least 20 generations. If it is not evident by now, I am fuming, my hands are sweaty and my heart feels like it has gone through 3 breakups simultaneously. Getting Over It is not a game, it is a piece of modern art that relies on the human emotions to make the game difficult to execute. Well play, Mr Foddy, I salute you and wish you good luck in your future endeavors.

honestly. this game was my zen game for the longest time. in a very stressful time of my life i remember booting this game up and just playing through it, time and time again. the music, narration, and clanking of the hammer against whatever i was throwing my mouse at was really comforting. it showed me the strength of perseverance and patience in a way that nothing else did at the time. i'm really glad that i took the opportunity to slow my life down and reflect with this game and i absolutely recommend it to people.

Made me feel what is like to cry, be excited, have fun, and most important of all. Rage, rage really hard. Bennet Foddy made a true masterpiece and this game started almost my favorite genre of video games. Would highly recommend to someone who doesn't give a shit about their feelings or their confidence, or anything for that matter.
Signed as a review for the game that doesn't give a fuck about what your feelings are.

Love Your Curing Depression and Anger Issues ;)

Wonderful experience. Don't worry about time, just try to play through it and get over it. It will take time, you will fall but its a great game.

Once you beat it once, the second time is needed for the achievement but also you can really see how much you learned by how much quicker you can go through the game.

After that if you just don't worry about it getting to 50 is a breeze. Just play every now and then, maybe every couple days and you'll get there eventually. Pretty quickly you'll get runs of about ~10 minutes and the game just gets more fun/almost relaxing from there

I have only played for 10.4 hours, in these hours i have found 7 stages of grief instead of the usual 5 there is. I have screamed my head off, i have gotten so angry I become unapproachable for the next 3 hours. I have bawled my eyes out for 2 hours after playing, the only time i have reached the acceptance stage of grief is when i fell all the way back down to the beginning and had lost all hope. I have been stuck at the snowball part for the past 7 hours, yes it only took me a surprising 3 hours to get to that part, yet i can only make it just barely to the snowman, the anvil jump is the one i get the most stuck on. Overall, i have raged, cried, lost all hope in myself and nearly reached the breaking point of throwing my monitor out the window. I highly recommend buying this game for yourself.

Very worth it. Doesn't induce rage at all very smooth mechanics that aren't delayed or goofy. The narrator helps calm you down a lot for sure.

Truly a great game, one of a kind experience. The satisfaction of overcoming each challenge is worth all the frustration and pain preceding it, and the climb really takes on a whole different meaning as you get higher and start getting really familiar with the climb and the creator's intents. Each obstacle and section has its own personality as well, making each step forward feel like its own achievement. Didn't expect to like it as much when going back to it after years of absence to finish it, big recommend !

Unironically one of my favorite games. Bennett has produced something special and shown that one can distill the essence of video games to a philosophical exercise reminiscent of daily life in a lot of aspects. It's a beautiful piece of art that you either work through or you don't. You either learn something new about yourself, or you don't. You either work through the struggle, or you give up.

A lot of tough games are tough for bad reasons, but this one is tough for good reasons.

This game was so infuriating at the start. Once you get through it and never give up it is so much better. 10/10

I'm about to say something obvious: This game is fucking hard.

Do not go into this game thinking its going to be smooth sailing, expect to fall over and over and over again, but don't stop. Keep going. That's what this game is about, and it is so worth it in the end.

10/10.

the game is actually fun, *if* you can learn from mistakes on what to do, otherwise you'll suffer

also funny slipper-butter controls will make you want to throw your chair like Markiplier*.

This game is very good fun, if you give it time. When you first start playing, you will find it difficult to progress and will often fall back down to the start. This can be demotivating and may make you want to quit, but if you stick with the game and don't give up, you will see how beautifully crafted this game is

i hate this game so much, so much time spent on climbing a mountain with a hammer, the time i spent here i will never get back and im so mad about that. Anyways, good game and all

You just have to commit and you be done with getting over it

Recommend adjusting the mouse sens slider in game. You should be able to "feel" the hammer and not just spin in circle.

You have to play it, and you have to beat it at least once. There's nothing else to it. If you don't finish this game at least once you haven't lived. After 6 years of trying, I have officially lived. Screw you Bennet Foddy, I love you.

the physics are really buggy, like when i would launch up my hammer would launch me into the sun, like i acidentaly beat the game from the weird launch bug

The game itself is fun , but be warned I was unable to play this because it requires you to move your mouse in a way that causes intense wrist pain. And unfortunately I don't think this can be separated from the mechanics of the game because there's not much else except extremely rapid mouse movements.

Only reason I would ever find to try and beat this game is if the narrator was at the end of the journey and I got to use my hammer to beat his skull in.

for those who enjoy struggle with complements and a game that takes ages
