About Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
You're a man in a pot wielding a hammer, climbing an impossibly tall mountain by swinging and jumping with nothing but mouse controls and your own determination. It's a brutally difficult platformer designed to test your patience and skill with constant progress-erasing setbacks, philosophical commentary from the developer, and a mysterious reward for those who reach the summit.
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.
- Magical reward awaits hikers who reach the top.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game's humor, music, and satisfying difficulty curve that becomes more enjoyable after the first challenging playthrough. However, common complaints include the steep initial learning curve that frustrates new players and the short length, with some completing it in just a few hours and having little reason to replay it.
If you want to have a exasperating experience and humble yourself, play this game, just be patient, i have nothing else to say.1 found this helpful
peaceful and calming gameplay until you hit the sections of doom and despair

i would rather stick 4 knives up the tip of my ass crack and get dropped onto it at a six foot drop.
I hope the developer dies
