Game is played with mouse.
Getting Over It puts you in control of a guy trapped in a big metal pot with only a sledgehammer to drag himself up a mountain of weird obstacles. The controls seem simple since you only use the mouse, but don’t be fooled – this game is frustratingly hard. Every time you think you’ve got it, one tiny mistake can send you sliding all the way back to the beginning. The movement feels slow and awkward, and every swing of the hammer can either launch you upwards or knock you down in an instant. Bennett Foddy designed this game to mess with your head, throwing in random quotes and bits of wisdom just when you’re about to lose it. He’ll drop in with comments that feel like he’s taunting you, which only adds to the frustration. His voice becomes this weird companion, giving you advice that feels almost sarcastic, especially after your fiftieth fall. The mountain itself is just a giant mess of random junk: old furniture, rocks, barrels, trees, and narrow ledges that make no sense at all. It’s designed to test your patience. You might find yourself clinging to a tiny edge, carefully planning your next swing, knowing that one wrong move will undo everything you’ve just worked for. And there are no checkpoints – fall too far, and it's back to square one. If you’re one of the few who manage to reach the top, there’s a surprise waiting, and it’s the ultimate payoff for all the rage and effort. Some players call it a reward; others say it’s just as confusing as the game itself. But no matter what, beating Getting Over It is something worth bragging about, and it’ll have you coming back to prove to yourself you can conquer it – or at least fail in new ways trying.
