Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy

You surely heard of this game that is quite popular in the web lately. But what exactly are you looking at? Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is basically long and challenging journey to the top of the mountain in the company of a strange topless man sitting in some kind of a cauldron and the narrator (Bennet Foddy, the creator of the game himself) who comments on your efforts and motivates you with wise quotes. Willing to hear some? Then let’s go!

Getting over what and who is Bennet Foddy?

The main hero uses a maximally weird way to make his way to the destination point – he doesn’t use his legs (because up to his waist he basically consists of that very cauldron) and can only rely on his strong arms that are holding a huge sledgehammer. This hammer is used to carve into the rocks and gain support for further swings, pushes and other unimaginable maneuvers that you are going to perform during your trip.

Everything will begin with a tree that is dry and dead and that is your first obstacle. Your task here is to use your hammer as a hook clinging onto branches and thus moving all the way up until the end of the trunk. This is one of the easiest parts of your route, but still you should expect to fall and start over at least a few times before you can finally get past this fragment. And you can be sure that Bennet Foddy will cheer you up by saying that it’s not such a big deal to start over and it has happened to us all many times giving examples from real daily life. You nod your head, get up from the virtual bottom and give it a second, third, dozenths shot.

It will get harder, but you will get stronger!

During the game, you grow to think of this bodiless voice that you keep hearing when you hit the toughest spots and even when you’re going steady and already forget about this background packed with wisdom and inspiration as some kid of your coach. He never fails to give you another piece of advice on how to survive though rough moments and find strength in yourself to start from scratch. And if you play this game for too long, you might actually find that you begin to see something in this stoic philosophy. Which can actually help you to go on and strive for passing the game (a feat not everyone playing it was able to pull through) because then the levels will become even more daring and complicated!
