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.

Dang, this game has been quite the journey. Gave up the first time I tried it and I picked it up again around 3 weeks ago. Was determined to finish it this time and I finally managed to. I love this game's design and aesthetic, and I love how such simple controls can create such dynamic situations and gameplay. Also, despite what I've seen elsewhere, I actually found the commentary to be a great addition. The controls are a bit wonky sometimes, but overall would totally recommend getting it!

The coding going into this must be just an insane amount with the physics, the controls, the graphics, the cutscenes, all of it. I originally heard of this from a YouTuber and thought,"Hmm. Why shouldn't I buy this?" I will never regret it, and thank you so much for creating this game. Also, one last thing before I go, the commentary is amazing; my mom was cracking up laughing when she heard some parts.

This game is great. It's angering, but after about the 20th win, it's pretty fun. But there are 2 things to note: First, you the semsitivity is preset low so you should max it before beginning. Also, on the mobile version, bugs slowly begin to appear throughout the gameplay. This ranges from textures disappearing and turning pink, to the settings menu forcing itself open making it hard to play.
