Getting Over It

[AgentCooper]

I don't consider myself to be a hardcore gamer (although I have beaten Dark Souls, Bloodborne and I still play FTL despite the RNG overlords ruining a perfect run at the last moment) but I have done something today I'm quite proud of.

I completed Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.

It took twelve frustrating hours in total but good grief, what a sense of achievement. Would highly recommend anyone and everyone give it a go and I'd like to say a big thanks to @AccidentalDenz for providing me a key for the game via The Big Fat Giveaway. You're a legend, Denz.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to buy a large hammer and find Bennett Foddy so I can give him the beating of a lifetime.

Just watched the intro video, 🤣 that’s one dark developer?

Remember QWOP? He created that too. He seems to specialise in games that make you want to kill yourself... and him.

That being said, his new game looks fun. Brings a whole new meaning to the gaming term 'walking simulator'

Mr Foddy has pretty much created a whole genre of frustration-based gaming, including some imitators

A Difficult Game About Climbing on Steam

This is a difficult game about climbing.

store.steampowered.com

AND

Clamb on Steam

A punishing VR climbing game. Climb a surreal mountain with nothing but a hammer.

store.steampowered.com

As well as inspiring others to make infuriatingly difficult platformers

THE DARUMA CHALLENGE on Steam

A brutal bouncing challenge. No shortcuts, no mercy—just you vs. gravity. How far will you climb before it all comes crashing down?

store.steampowered.com

AND

Egging On on Steam

Face the challenge of being a real, fragile egg. Climb out of the hen house and survive in a shop, a kitchen, and other dangerous areas. Roll, jump, and use the environment to reach new heights. Don't break your eggshell, and do your best not to fall. With determination, you may reach freedom!

I daren't go any further down the rabbit hole right now. I'll leave that to sadists like yourself...

That looks seriously weird!

I like the look of A Difficult Game About Climbing! On the wish list it goes.

I need a break from that kind of game for a wee while though so I picked up The Outer Wilds as it’s currently cheap on Steam. Should help exorcise some of the demons that the Foddster has left in my brain.

I daren't look at anything recommended by @AgentCooper as I know what will happen 😂😂😂

Well... the masochist in me likes a challenge. So I went back to this game. Over and over and over again. All achievements unlocked! There's only three of them but I think the stats speak for themselves.

The first completion time was over twelve hours, my best run was ten and a half minutes (there's a speedrunner who managed to do it in 59 seconds, I both hate and am in awe of that guy)

And my reward for this? A nice shiny golden cauldron to sit in! It actually turns from black to gold very gradually, goes up a shade each time you complete the game.

Well... that's the end of that saga. But 'A Difficult Game About Climbing' is now discounted on Steam so I've got something else to pull my hair out over.

PLAY THIS GAME! You don't have to 'git gud', you just have to get over it.

Darn you @AgentCooper you've done it again 😂😂😂👍

 

[AccidentalDenz]

I'm glad that @AgentCooper has done this blatant arm twisting without me. I often get the blame for @Martinr36's wishlist and library growing, but this is absolutely not on me!
