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".

fun but really demotivates you
Really well made, but my main issue is just how demoralizing it is whenever you have a big fall. I did make it pretty high up though and it was fun.

I might hate this game more than any other game I’ve ever played.
I was certain the touch controls were worse than the mouse controls (which would explain how terrible I was during my first session), but after doing a bit of searching, folks seem to prefer the touch controls. Turns out, I’m bad at it and it’s a hard …

After failing the first tricky section more times than I care to admit, I finally feel like I got to a spot that’s somewhat safe from complete failure. I’m sure this is a trick.

I doubt I'll be able to beat this game. This is HARD. And whenever you fail (and you will), it's ALL YOUR FAULT. The mechanics are quite simple, straightforward, but the mountain to build is so steep, so hard, so funny to climb that something will make you come back. And fail again.
But hey, to put it aas someone …

Yeah, this game is full of funny quotes and reflections on failure. Yeah, you deserve to try it.

I'm not playing any other game until I get to the top of the damn mountain.
I played an hour last night, and I'm hooked. I watched a little bit of a Twitch guy who is good at this play, and it's like night and day compared to my play. This might be a beers game this weekend.
Review Trost 3/5 · Jan 2, 2018
Simple, fun (?), frustrating, thought-provoking (has an actual story) and silly at the same time.
At first I thought I'll be that kind of a game where it's nearly impossible, and you'd just end up frustrated as hell. Surprisingly - failing in this game is quite motivating for me. With each fail I can re-climb everything faster and faster (but not always :D). The feeling of easily completing areas you've found impossible at first is …

I doubt I'll beat this game, but we had quite some fun taking turns playing this game with my brother, using a 3 minute timer.
Fun fact: someone actually beat this game in 3 minutes. We didn't beat it in 3+ hours.
