Getting Over It
Getting Over It with Bennet Foddy is a game about grit and determination. A man in a pot, Diogenes, is faced with the task of climbing a mountain solely with a Yosemite hammer. In doing such, at any point, you may lose hours of progress upon encountering one of the game’s many pitfalls or awkward obstacles. You fall down again, and again, and again, but despite that, something drives you to just keep going.
A quote within the game, by Mary Pickford, states “Failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.” Short, but grand in effect. It made me keep going, despite my mistakes, despite the setbacks.
This game is truly a work of art; I’ve yet to find a game that encapsulates my passion for determination like this has.

This is the first game I’ve completed in 2018, and I think it’s fair to say it was a good start.
I couldn’t bring myself to play this and ended up gifting it to someone >_< congrats for getting the motivation to play through it!
Congrats! I’ve got that game, just not sure I can bring myself to play it yet…
I don’t have as much determination as you. “may lose hours of progress” will remind me to never enter a giveaway for this. :o
Congratulations on getting over it (sorry…)
O_O you’re super patient, I want to run away by just reading review… Congrants ^^
Beating that game is pretty insane - congrats! :) I’m pretty sure it’s about having some skill too ;)
