Getting Over It

'"Thanks for coming with me on this trip." '~Bennett Foddy

Description
"A game I made 

For a certain kind of person

To hurt them.

'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".

Climb up an enormous mountain with nothing but a hammer and a pot.

Listen as I make philosophical observations about the problem at hand. Between 2 and ∞ hours of agonizing gameplay, depending. The median time to finish for my playtesters was 5 hours, but the mean was closer to ∞. Lose all your progress, over and over. Feel new types of frustration you didn't know you were capable of. Magical reward awaits hikers who reach the top."

Gameplay
You play as Diogenes, a silent protagonist who has to make his way up a mountain created of many objects while guided by the voice over of Bennett Foddy, the creator of the game. The player has a series of 3 stages, using their sledgehammer to try and get over many difficult obstacles and as well using it as a pogo stick in the game. And the singlest mess up can face the danger of restarting the game straight from the beginning.
