Getting Over It with Bennet Foddy

Getting Over It focuses on a mute protagonist named Diogenes sitting in a cauldron with a Yosemite hammer, which he can use to hold objects in order to move. Using the mouse or trackpad, the player attempts to move the upper body and hammer to climb up a steep mountain. The game accepts control pads, but they make the game more difficult due to the inaccuracy of the joysticks. The game becomes more difficult as you progress up the mountain. There are no checkpoints, so the player is at constant risk of losing some or all of their progress. The game concludes when a player has reached the highest part of the map and enters outer space. Upon reaching the conclusion, a message asks players if they are recording the game. When a player indicates no, the game accesses a Chatroom of other players who have completed the game.
