April 2024

After beating Getting Over It, as well as getting the golden pot, losing it to switching PCs, and then getting the golden pot AGAIN, the game embedded itself into my heart and mentality when facing life itself. I couldn't find another experience that gave me the same indescribably comfortable feeling until I finally found this game before release. At just a mere glance at the trailer, it was an instant wishlist addition. Upon release, an instant purchase. Being able to play the creation of another person inspired by Foddy's game gave me that feeling back to Getting Over It: the feeling of just climbing and accepting that falling meant a great cost, but not a permanent one. I implore to all who love Foddy's creation to experience and indulge in this beautiful contribution to a "Foddian" genre. My soul has been touched by playing this game in full and I can only wish it does the same for others.

Bought the game, got stuck at the cog area, Rage quit and refunded. Watched the Pontypants youtube video a couple days later. Felt like i did him dirty by refunding. Finished the game in 3.1hrs. So happy I did.

Big fan of Getting Over It, very happy to see such a well-made game that reflects the style of the original so perfectly while still bringing its own unique spin.

This game is ADDICTING. It is INSANELY good. As an enjoyer of Getting Over It, I will say with 100% confidence that this game is better than Getting Over It. While Getting Over It "looks" intuitive to play, the controls are very unintuitive and finicky. This game has the exact opposite quality. The controls look completely unintuitive, but then you play it and the controls feel super good and responsive. The level design is also much more interesting than what you'll find in Getting Over It, while also being much fairer. There's bodies of waters that act as a sort of checkpoint. While it is possible to fall all the way down to the first layer, it gets harder to fall to the beginning the higher you go up. Also, when I say the level design is more interesting, I'm talking about the gameplay specifically. There are a lot of different challenges that test how well you're able to time your climbs. It genuinely felt like the learning curve to this game was pretty reasonable. I also found myself just unable to not think about playing this game. If you want to be productive, please do NOT play this game. I literally had a DREAM where I was playing this game. Now that I've finally beaten it, I can move on to smaller and less important things, like filing my taxes.
