Stage 2

in:Stub, Stages =Stage 2=

Description:
Stage 2 is the second stage in Getting Over It, which the player reaches if they successfully clear the Devil's Chimney. It introduces obstacles in which the player moves laterally for the first time. In the playground area, it is possible to fall back down to the starting area by falling past the Danger sign. The stage includes a large skip that the player can use to skip the playground area and cardboard boxes completely. If the player reaches the house section, they can hook the roof, position their hammer directly lined up with the satellite dish, position themselves to the side of the roof, and pull straight up. If the player is lined up correctly, this move will allow them to get high enough to grab onto the staircase, thereby skipping the majority of Stage 2. The ending obstacle is known as Orange Hell, and is possibly the most difficult obstacle in the game, due to the fact that it has very few hammer holds, and a fall will mean the player falls back to at least the playground section, but possibly the starting area.

Appearance: Stage 2 has a light blue color theme, and moves in a backwards "s" pattern up the mountain. However, the staircase skip allows the player to completely skip this pattern, going straight from the bottom of the backwards "s" to the top.

Notable Parts

 * The first obstacle of this area is what looks like a rusting metal fridge or storage unit. The player must fling themselves upward from here, hooking onto ledges of the building.
 * The slide skip is a long metal beam in which the player must use the hammer to cling onto and skip across. The player can also rest atop it, if they somehow manage to get there.
 * On top the house where the slide skip ends, the player can boost themselves upwards and if done correctly can skip a portion of the map.
 * The player must jump between a grill and a sideways house, where they must hook onto an umbrella, rake, wheelbarrow, and play structure while climbing vertically.
 * If the player misses the jump between the grill and the house, they will land on a concrete wall below it, where they can climb back onto the house. If the player misses this wall or falls off of it, they will fall back to stage 1.
 * At the top of the roof of the playing structure, the player must boost themselves right onto a pile of boxes, where they then must descend upon another row of boxes, and finally end up on a white staircase.
 * A small chair sits on the staircase. The player should place themselves on top of it, boosting themselves upward and hooking onto the security camera or other small ledges.
 * See Orange Hell.

Trivia:

 * The obstacle "Orange Hell" is commonly regarded as the most difficult in the game.
 * Within this area, the narration starts talking about the idea of "trash culture."
