A game I made For a certain kind of person To hurt them. • 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.
Getting Over It, developed by Bennett Foddy, is a punishing climbing game that tests your patience and skill. You control a character in a pot, using a hammer to climb a treacherous mountain filled with obstacles. With no save points, a single mistake can send you sliding back down, losing significant progress. The game features philosophical narration by Foddy, adding a unique layer to the experience. Designed to evoke frustration and triumph, it’s an homage to the 2002 B-Game 'Sexy Hiking,' but with Foddy’s original spin. The median completion time is around 5 hours, though some players report taking much longer. Available on iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS, it requires iOS 13.0 or later and supports multiple languages including English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Russian. The developer does not collect any data, ensuring user privacy.

This game works great, there’s nothing wrong with it other than sometimes when I open it the hammer will spawn inside the wall and I have to try and get it out

Idk what happened

Game has a bunch of bugs. Textures wouldn’t load in, I would boot ip the game and my hammer would get stuck in the ground. Needs to be fixed

I have a fix for problems without uninstalling

If you have a black screen after beating the game most of the times the pause button in the top left is just invisible, you can click that and restart your progress to go back to normal. If it isn’t there fully close your game and restart If your stuck in a wall just restart the game fully and swing you hammer while your in the loading screen away from the wall.

Can’t play more than once

Great game, but you can only play once. Once you put the game down and come back, the game gets stuck on a black screen. Only way I can resolve this is by deleting and redownloading, losing all progress in the process.

Awesome game

This game is a bit hard but I don’t care. It’s cool amazing and awesome. It’s cool like there’s no feeling more intense than starting over. That’s fun and the music is so relaxing.

Controls are awful

I’ve played the pc version and it’s quite different. Maybe if 3D Touch was used it would help?

I’m gonna start fighting people over this game
Sat Jun 14 2025 Brod.101

Giving it a 5/5 because if I ever find the person that made this game I’m gonna fight them.

Controls don’t work
Sun Aug 03 2025 U u uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hammer gets stuck on thin air in some places and the controls function very poorly. The game has dozens of performance issues all of which deter any progress from being made and quite often leads to major losses of time. Because of these issues the game which is already designed to be a waste of your time is nearly impossible to progress through and there is no satisfaction in completing it as every move is a gamble, whether or not the game will accept your input or move the character in ways that defy all logic and reasoning.

Too hard

Walkthrough

Mastering the Hammer

The core mechanic involves swinging the hammer to grip surfaces and propel yourself upward. Practice precise mouse or touch movements to control the hammer’s arc. Start by familiarizing yourself with the initial rocks and trees, as these early obstacles teach you the game’s physics. Momentum is key—use smooth, deliberate swings to avoid overshooting or slipping.

Navigating Key Obstacles

Key sections like the 'Devil’s Chimney' and the 'Slide' require patience. For the chimney, angle your hammer to hook onto small ledges and avoid overextending. On the slide, maintain a steady rhythm to avoid falling back to earlier sections. Falling is part of the process—each failure helps you learn the terrain.

Gameplays

Embracing Failure

The game is designed to make you fail repeatedly, but each fall teaches you to adapt. Players report that areas like the tower or shopping cart become easier with practice, turning impossible jumps into manageable challenges. The emotional rollercoaster of progress and setbacks is central to the experience.

Speedrunning Challenges

For advanced players, speedrunning is a popular way to replay the game. Top players have reduced completion times to under 5 minutes, but this requires mastering every section and exploiting physics quirks. Be cautious on mobile, as some report lag affecting precise movements.
