Description

If you're the sort of person who delights in extreme gaming challenges, punishing progress, and a dash of existential despair, then you'll probably want to check out 'Getting Over It with Bennet Foddy'. This merciless climbing game is a tribute to Jazzuo's 2002 B-Game masterpiece, 'Sexy Hiking'. In a twist of absurdist brilliance, you - inside a cauldron and armed with only a hammer - are tasked with scaling an implausibly steep mountain. With practice, reflexes and probably a dash of luck, you could become a master hiker and unearth the great mysteries that await at the summit. But be warned: This game coming from the depths of the punishing gameplay genre, is fully committed to breaking your heart and testing your grit. Pain is a feature, not a bug.

How To Play

• Move the hammer with your mouse - that's your only mode of movement.
• With persistence and practice, you'll advance your skills, enabling you to jump, swing, climb, and ever so briefly, fly.
• As you ascend, take the time to ponder the philosophical musings offered about your predicament.
• Finally, and most importantly, prepare to lose all your progress repeatedly and discover new, previously unconsidered levels of frustration.
