Dec. 2024

This game is the definition of torture. It strikes you down with the worst way imaginable. Despite all that, through the suffering of the player this game proves that it has a hidden purpose. To express a person's view of the world and the internet in general. The game itself the map, the character, the atmosphere, everything, is used to its fullest to express the developer's opinion about a topic that affects our lives everyday. And it does that the best way possible. Through anger it awards you. Not with loot. Not with progress. But by making you realize that you were focusing on the wrong thing the entire playthrough. Beating the game, instead of understanding what the developer tries to express through it. Masterpiece. Still hate it though. In a good way.

Great game. played for 3 hours. its now 4am. Only progress is done mentally by listening to Shakespeare and realising you are more of a failure than you though you were. 10/10 I will be going down the road feeling bad tomorrow.

This game took me around 20-50 hours to beat for the first time (I honestly have no clue of the exact amount, but it’s somewhere in that range). I bought it in 2020, tried it for a while, got to Orange Hell, fell, and then put it down. I picked it up again maybe a couple of months later, reset my save, did the exact same thing, and then put it down again. After repeating this cycle several more times, maybe about a year after getting the game, I finally made it to the snowy area—and that became my new stuck point. I continued this cycle for a couple of years, picking it up, resetting my old save, playing for a bit, putting it back down, and repeating this ad nauseam. After a while, I actually got pretty damn good at the game, able to reach Orange Hell in about four minutes from the start, but I never committed hard enough to actually beat it. In April 2024, more than four years after I’d originally purchased the game, I realized how good I had gotten from the frankly ridiculous amount of hours and resets I’d put into it, and I decided I would finally beat it. After four years of playing without finishing, I reset it one more time, this time determined to finish—and I did, in about an afternoon. After countless hours, resets, and more than four years of my life, I beat it, and it was really easy. About a week passed without me touching it, but then I booted it up again and ran through it in about 30 minutes. Since then, I’ve picked it up on and off, seeing how quickly I could finish. At this point, I think I’ve completed it maybe 30 times, with my fastest run being around 9 and a half minutes. Something that had previously taken me countless hours to do, I had just completed in under 10 minutes. "Getting Over It" is important to me. Why it’s important, I have no idea. I’m not really sure what I feel when I think about the game, but I know it carries an air of importance for me.

June 2024

Tried to beat this game for ~15h in January 2018, couldn't get past that table with the orange. Today, in June 2024, I reinstalled it and got to the top within a time of 2h 40 min. I also finished school, moved to another city and got my bachelor's degree in Computer Science during those years. What does this say about me as a person? Have I become more patient, so that I could pull myself together when it is needed? Or did I become more insightful and ingenious, which allowed me to take different approaches to the slopes and hills, and conquer them? Maybe I got even more competitive over these years, and I wouldn't take anything but a win? Or, maybe it was all just dumb luck? Does it even say anything about me? For me, it's really one thing that matters. I got over it. Thank you, Bennett Foddy.

A metaphor for life, if you're willing to accept it. I found the commentary delightful and the gameplay infuriating. But overall I'm deeply glad I did it.
