Getting Over It

Getting Over It is a challenging mobile game where you control a character climbing a mountain with a hammer and a pot. The gameplay is simple, but it requires practice to master different actions like jumping, swinging, and flying. The game is inspired by a classic game called 'Sexy Hiking' and is designed to be punishingly difficult. As you progress, you'll face great challenges and frustrations, and you may lose your progress multiple times. The game's unique design and philosophical observations will keep you engaged, and with patience and practice, you can reach the top of the mountain and experience a sense of accomplishment.

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.
