Game is played with mouse.
Getting Over It is a game where you control a dude stuck in a giant metal pot, armed with only a sledgehammer to haul himself up a mountain of bizarre junk. The whole thing is controlled by your mouse, but don't let that fool you – this game is the ultimate test of patience and precision. One wrong swing, and you’re sliding back down, sometimes to places you thought you’d conquered ages ago. The movement feels clunky, and mastering it is half the battle. Every time you think you’re getting better, the game finds a way to humble you. Bennett Foddy, the guy behind this madness, doesn’t just throw obstacles at you – he throws words. He’ll chime in with philosophical quotes or strangely calm commentary while you’re mid-rage. It’s like he knows you’re about to smash your keyboard, and he’s right there with some overly wise, borderline smug advice. His voice somehow makes the struggle even more personal, adding salt to the wound when you fall. The mountain itself is wild. It’s stacked with random objects: chairs, barrels, chunks of rock, and narrow ledges that look impossible to grip. Every inch of progress feels like a victory, but the looming possibility of losing it all is what makes it so brutal. There are no checkpoints, no safety nets – just you, the hammer, and the constant threat of falling. Each swing is a gamble, and one slip-up can erase hours of effort. If you do make it to the top, there’s a reward waiting for you. What kind of reward? That’s for you to find out – if you can handle the grind. For most, beating Getting Over It isn’t just about finishing a game; it’s about proving to yourself that you can handle the chaos and frustration. It’s painful, addictive, and somehow satisfying, even when you’re failing over and over again.
