Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a Jump 'n' Run - computer game , developed by Bennett Foddy. He sees it as an homage to the game Sexy Hiking , which was published by Jazzuo in 2002 .
Gameplay
The goal of Getting Over It is to have a man named Diogenes climb a large mountain. Diogenes is in a large cauldron and can only move around by pulling or pushing himself along objects with a climbing hammer and thereby climbing, crawling or jumping. With the game control only the guidance of the hammer can be controlled.
Clumsy movements with the hammer can lead to a marked relapse to a lower position on the mountain. As the game progresses, the level of difficulty increases. Together with the fact that the game status cannot be saved and loaded, the game reaches a considerable degree of difficulty and a corresponding potential for frustration for the player.
The game is supported by commentary from Benett Foddys, who philosophizes on various topics, in particular the disappointment and frustration of such a relapse in game progress.
