Getting Over It takes full advantage of patience in the process of making a trapped cat immobile with just a hammer. Does this moving mechanism intrigue you?

Getting Over It - A game not for the masses

It is undeniable that this game is hot after so many years. It is an independent game developed by Bennett Foddy, released in 2017, a period long enough to prove that Getting Over It has captured the love of long-time players. The lasting popularity is not because of beautiful graphics, but it focuses on challenging the player's endurance limits in an extremely unique way, just like when you play Poor Bunny.

The character image is an unnamed cat locked in an iron cauldron, which can only be moved by a sledgehammer. It looks extremely cramped. The goal is to help the cat climb over a mountain made of trash, boulders, buildings, and absurd objects. There are no specific instructions or maps for the path. You can only find your way and start over if you fall.

Strict Movement Rules in Getting Over It

Tools to help the character move

Unlike other games, this game is special in that the Character has no legs, cannot jump, or climb with any part of the body. All forms of movement must be through the hammer. With actions such as: Hook, pull, support, or swing the hammer around objects.

  • Each swing or pull of the hammer has its inertia.
  • If you swing too hard, you will be thrown back.
  • The weight of the character and the friction of the surfaces directly affect the stability.

No save point

The game does not save progress if you have overcome a difficult path. Because if you fall from the top of the mountain to the bottom, you have to climb back from the beginning. It's a pity that there is no rescue feature, but self-reliance makes your spirit rise even more, right?

How to make the character move the way you want?

  • Move slowly: Speed ​​is not the key because the trap is that most players fail because of impatience. Keep a steady grip on the mouse and move slowly and smoothly to help you control the force better.
  • Focus on the motion circle: The hammer moves in a circle around the character, so mastering this rotation will help you get to the most satisfactory position.
  • Use the right thrust and rebound force: You will need to push yourself up by leaning the hammer against the wall and then jumping. This action is difficult to master and does not always work as intended, so practice a lot.
