Some might dismiss this game as a novel concept but what matters is the journey within. Most game journalists would cry foul whenever a new game is too punishing. Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy emphasizes substance over style. This is ideal for Let’s Play or streaming at Twitch. On the other hand, anyone who successfully reaches the top of the mountain or the end goal will receive a reward that only a few deserves. Players can expect repeated frustration and losing all progress. A jeering but playful tune will play that will accompany with the current situation. Anyone making a mistake or slips off from a ledge will fall straight down back to start. This game’s main punishing feature is the lack of checkpoints. The quotes can also serve either as a tip or taunt, depending on the player’s disposition. Every time the player progresses, Foddy would narrate philosophical observations for them to ponder.
Eventually, they will explore flimsy man-made infrastructures, higher peaks and more unimaginable places that should not exist in an actual mountain. The adventure game features bizarre, surreal and outlandish locations. It will take a lot of practice and precise rotation to do those advanced moves. Players can eventually perform maneuvers like powerful swings, hopping like a pogo stick, wide jumps and even making giant leaps. The hammer can be rotated with only the mouse. They only have a very long hammer as a means of movement. They cannot move or jump with conventional directional buttons. Players take the role of a man stuck in a large pot. Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy retains the core mechanics of Sexy Hiker. The physics is similar and players can only use a hammer to move upwards. Sexy Hiking only featured four levels to complete. Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a love letter to a classic indie game Sexy Hiking by Jazzuo.
