About Getting Over It (Scratch)

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is the game about a man in a pot dragging himself up a mountain with a hammer, built specifically to hurt you. There are no checkpoints. One bad swing can undo an hour. The developer narrates your failures with philosophy quotes as you fall.

It's genuinely brilliant and genuinely cruel — a game about frustration itself, and about the strange pride of earning every single meter. People who finish it never shut up about it, and they've earned that too.

When you fall, stop. Breathe. Angry climbing causes longer falls.
