About Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is the most famous rage game ever made. You are Diogenes, a man in a cauldron, and your only tool is a sledgehammer. With it you hook, push, pole-vault and fling yourself up a mountain of junk — furniture, rocks, scaffolding, a literal playground slide — knowing the entire time that one wrong swing can undo an hour of progress in two seconds.
There are no checkpoints. That's the whole point. Foddy narrates as you climb, offering philosophy about failure and loss exactly when you least want to hear it, and the game's cruelty is completely honest: nothing is random, nothing is unfair, every fall is your own hand on the mouse. The hammer physics are precise and consistent — which is why the game is beatable in under two minutes by speedrunners and unbeatable for months by everyone else.
The climb has famous landmarks that veterans speak of like war stories: the tree near the start that lobs over-eager climbers all the way back to the beginning, the church roof, the slide section, the buckets, and the snake-bend near the summit. Reaching the snow zone for the first time produces a very specific heart rate.
What makes Getting Over It great rather than just mean is the skill curve. The hammer becomes an extension of your arm. Sections that once took 20 minutes take 20 seconds. The game never gets easier — you get better, measurably, and that's a feeling very few games deliver this purely.

How to play Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
Controls. Mouse only. Move the mouse to swing the sledgehammer around the cauldron. Hook it on ledges to pull yourself up, press it against the ground to push, and flick it to launch yourself. Sensitivity matters — small, smooth movements beat fast flailing.
Tips:
- Slow down. Nearly every catastrophic fall comes from rushing a section you've already cleared.
- Learn to "pogo": press the hammer straight down and bounce — it's the safest way up shallow slopes.
- On the tree near Orange Hell: hook BEHIND the trunk and pull through gently. Never swing at full speed there.
- After a big fall, take a breath before climbing. Tilted, angry climbing causes the second big fall.
Frequently asked questions
Who made Getting Over It?
Bennett Foddy, the philosopher-game-designer also behind QWOP. He narrates the game himself, quoting philosophy as you climb (and fall).
How long does it take to beat Getting Over It?
First completions typically take 5–15 hours spread over many rage-quits. Top speedrunners finish in under 2 minutes — the world record is around a minute and a half.
Are there checkpoints or saves in Getting Over It?
No checkpoints. Your position persists between sessions, but nothing stops a fall from sending you back to the very start. That risk is the game's core design.
What is the reward for finishing Getting Over It?
There is a real reward at the summit beyond the famous chat with Foddy — but spoiling it is against the spirit of the climb.
Is Getting Over It free and unblocked at school?
Yes — it runs in your browser at UBGHyper with no download or sign-up, so it works on school Chromebooks. Mouse strongly recommended over trackpad.
