Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy Introduction
Getting Over It, With Bennett Foddy is an interactive platformer game available on mac and windows. The premise of the game is relatively simple: the player uses a hammer as a hook to climb up a mountain of obstacles while the narrator, Bennett Foddy, pokes and prods at the player. While strange and relatively simple compared to other platformers, Getting Over It is infamous for being difficult and frustrating to play, due partially to the intentionally awkward obstacle placement and in small part to Foddy’s half philosophical half mocking comments. It is as much a test of one’s willpower and frustration as it is a test of one’s platforming skill. In this, Getting Over It is a metaphor for the struggle of life in isolation.
