What Makes Getting Over It Stand Out
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.
This Simulation game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
When we join the game after resetting the game by double tapping the home button in swiping up when we rejoin, we cant move for like a second or two then when we are able to move, the sensitivity becomes extremely high and Ive lost progress because of that. Relaxing game.
Try this game if you don't have hypertension yet (.
Thank you Bennet Foddy, for this wonderful game! It took us a whole lot of time and effort to complete this game. God bless. And we played the game so much to the point where we got the golden cauldron.
In most cases, the point of a game is to escape life. Whether it be in front of the tv, at work, or even through a difficult time of ones life. This game however is special, while it may have been made to waste time, its not a escape. Every couch, tree, and orange is a obstacle. Perhaps this game was not made to give you the illusion of electronic pleasure but to give you pain that is pivotal to life. To help you.
Love this game its really rage baiting but fun! You should add multiplayer it would be really fun.
This is a great game and worth it for buying it and the end was sad but we love it.
Its a great game. We wish this version had controller support and not just a Apple Arcade version.
This game could get you mad and the canyon part was hard and the mountains were harder then canyons so the game was a lot of fun it was worth buying and when we first played the game it got us super mad like we crashed out.
The entire game from beginning to end has you feeling like every step you take is an unfair and unnecessary waste of time, going somewhere you are not sure would even be worth the time you put into it. ..But every mistake you make is not one that you cant recover from, and slowly you realize what you can truly do to make progress while not blaming the game, but simply learning that the faults you make are your own faults it took us four hours to beat the game, but in real time well over a month a month and some change of finger cramps and heavy sighs. This game is a testament to learning about persevering even when you find something to be unfair, and the relief youll have when you learn that the difficulty you encounter is from your own inexperience. Learn the mountain, gain relief, and Get Over It.
It took us awhile to beat but it was fun.
Waste of time but very fun and addictive. Im going for the big 50.
We love this game. Its really weird which we love about games and its always trying to be positive. Although we think its supposed to be infuriating. Its also really fun and challenging. The controls are difficult but not impossible. Its difficult to get up places but the difficulty makes it fun. We really enjoy this game (even though we havent beaten it yet) and we hope you do to. But a word of advice. If you get irritated by obnoxious sound, we dont recommend playing this. But anyways, its great and we appreciate the amount of effort that went into this.
The game was so hard but after years of playing the game like once a month we completed it and Im almost sad we did. Great game other than when we were stuck at the orange part for 95% of our gameplay time but that was the challenge.
We love it even we win our heart just beat so fast but the hardest thing we try to get out was the bucket and the mountain.
Sometimes we experience fps drops or glitches, we never found them to be a big deal until we were on ice mountain, about to beat the game for the first time, the fps drops and our character starts glitching, we start screaming no no no no then boom while glitching our character bounces off right onto the snake and we go right back to the start. We wouldnt mind this if this happened because of our own mistake, but it didnt. Genuinely miserable. Good game otherwise.
This game is exactly what it should be a challenge. We havent beaten it yet, but we love this game we cant stop playing it thank you for all this fun cant wait to beat it.
Please spend your $5 somewhere else.
Bennett make a hard mode or something with more obstacles we can beat the game in 5 mins nowadays.
We know its 2025 but this game is like a movie and the best we could ever say is thanks because it taught us a REAL lesson that no matter what you go through you always have an option to go back peace bro thank you.
Im a speed runner on the computer version and the game has gotten so easy that we forgot the main point of this game which is overcoming obstacles and that triumph you feel when you get to the top we got to relive that experience with the harder controls and different movement system. We thank Bennet Foddy for letting us relive this game.
As Bear Grylls would say, Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
This game is a masterpiece, even though it was hard, we still beat it. The textures, the physics, the complements and encouraging words, all of it was great. We have been wanting to beat this game since we were maybe 5, but now, almost 6 years later as an 11 year old, we finally beat it. Thank you Bennett Foddy for this amazing rage game.
We went through the lakeside, up the granite rocks, up The chimney, up the construction site, into the city, or whatever that is, climbed up the small stone mountain thingy, went across the church and didnt got jump scared by the bats, past the 4 more floating rocks, up the bucket, up the notches, up the tall internet tower and finally in space where bro Kim Il sung.
Wonderful game it will make you frustrated at some points but if you stay stuck with it the ending will feel amazing.
The more you beat the game, the easier it gets. But Foddys point about the game being unpredictable stays; the game will still mess with you. But that never stops us from seeing the beauty in this game. Not only from Foddys quotes, songs and speeches, but the scenery. It reminds us of nice places and its all so beautiful. The game actually becomes very fun after winning some amount of times. On a phone, we thought the game would be harder, but we couldnt be any more wrong. It just takes time to adjust to the physics and obstacles. We use our thumb and its really comfortable (until you feel like you have a friction burn).
Its a good game but its hard to control it on mobile devices we cant even pass the 2nd part after the tree.
Hard, but worth it to stick through and beat, it teaches you some things.
Thank you Bennet Foddy, for this wonderful game! It took us a whole lot of time and effort to complete this game. God bless.
When we saw this had a mobile version we needed it. We didnt care the price. This game has been with us for a long time. The controls are unique the play is satisfying despite being frustrating and the piece feels well crafted and homogenous despite the low quality aesthetic and lag spikes upon terrain generation. If you get this game. Stick with it. If you angry, sad, or impatient you will get over it. Give it time.
We play this game in our downtime when Im bored and it is really fun as of writing this we have 359 wins on this game if you do not have any other games that are fun to play when you are bored we highly recommend this game.
While most people find this game with deep frustration we find we quite fun this game amazed us so much im on the grind for the gold pot. For new players to the game this game may seem frustrating at first but once you beat the game its really easy.
Being playing non stop! Got the first time and now after the golden bucket.
This game is one of the finest mobile gaming experiences ive had, its a beautiful work of art to say the least, and will forever be in debt to bennet fody.
Wow! This game is the best! Even though insanely hard, we Like the gameplay! And the calming messages as the players rage quit are perfect!!! 6 stars.
Its a great game, and it really helps with working on what you dont have, and what you do have, and really works, it might just seem impossible at th start, but it gets better in the end, like all things should, but just keep trying and dont fail, you reach the end of the bad eventually.
We have never played a game where we have tried and failed over and over again (maybe geometry dash), but at the same time continued to do it over and over. It took us months before we ever completed the game for the first time 4 years ago. Ever since, that skill has stayed with us and Ive been able to complete the game in short times on pretty much all the platforms of the game. We used to blame the phone or the mouse for our problems, but this also showed us that its important to focus inwardly instead of blaming other things. A valuable lesson can be learned with this game. Thank you Bennet.
Only for those who just cannot quit. It will hurt, but never give up. Its not a matter of skill. Its a matter of willpower. Know thyself.
We think its a great offline game for long trips and more importantly there is no ads! We dont understand why people think the game is in need for improvement because we think its just perfect.
We made it (somehow)it was hardddd an maybe little punching the wall whenever you fall a mil from the topI definitely suggest yall to play it.have a good day.
We love this game its so fun and smooth, but we do wish that it was controller compatible because playing this game on a phone is hard because you have to move your thumb around the screen, and you constantly have to replace your thumb.
We completed this game and Im him.
We only have one place left to go and thats up.
This is the type of game that is completely opposite from other games as they start out easy and an overtime when youre playing them you dont have fun anymore, but for getting over it it starts out hard and you dont wanna play it but overtime you love it and even if the stuff gets old and you could use to it its still fun and relaxing.
The game may be hard yes thats true, but remember. To live is to suffer. To survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. Friedrich Nietzsche.
Alright at first we watched caseoh play this and was like that looks fun. So we got it and had a lot of fun but we fell a lot but Bennett foddy was always there helping us keep going keep trying and eventually wit the help of Bennett poetry and our hammer we got over it AWSOME GAME BENNET.
Dont play this game if you are already mad.
Its a really good game but five year olds cant play because what if they fall off and then they break their iPad.
Playing one of the most raging game of all time we did it. We beat it on mobile, it took us awhile but eventually we got the satisfaction that it was worth, we completed this on pc but we wanted a more difficult challenge. That is playing on mobile.
We bought this game over the summer just for fun, and boy oh boy the things we felt playing this game. We were angry but relived and so stressed yet accomplished. We would always play this game every few days of then fits of playing it for an hour or so. Ive never been a fan of games but this its not just a game its poetry. We love the narrator and the short encouraging notes and the funny anecdotes and we loved the existential little quips. We never could have imagined ourselves finally getting over it but we did and what a bitter sweet ending. Its finally over and we have won but now what is next? We spent a lot of time on this game trying new ways to get over the objects and learned to have patience. We just wanna say thank you for making such an amazing game really.
