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".

Love to see wholly original gameplay such as this, requiring the player to use a mouse as though they had never touched one before and the learning progression of these mechanics is greatly satisfying. It's rare to see, but with this originality it earns its commentary on fickle consumption and persistence and wears it valiantly.
Honestly my only problem with the game is that about 70% of your playtime is going to be spent in the same small area of the map. Besides that, this is an incredibly philosophical game that executes its idea very well. Also I only got mad during my playthrough of this once and I tend to get pretty frustrated at games so I have no idea what yall are on about
