Getting Over It Reviews

by Btfahle

I found this game on steam and bought it playing it until eventually I got to the top and even though I was very frustrating I got through it and it was a very good game. However when I decided I was good enough at pc I made the mistake of buying it on mobile. First of all the sensitivity is all over the place. I feel like when I change it nothing happens. Secondly the resolution is just plain garbage. I’m not sure if this is just an apple thing but it is running at like 440p. Lastly the thing that gets on my nerves the most is the lag. I found this extremely frustrating when playing because of the lag. There are like main parts in the game we’re it lags and I usually get past them because I would consider myself pretty good except for the end of the game. I find it almost impossible to beat going up the cell tower and because of how sensitive your hammer is you will find yourself flying off the ice hill when barely moving your finger. All in all I think this game would be 1 star and IS NOT WORRH 5 DOLLARS AT ALL. So there ya go a review on one of the worst mobile games ever.

The first thing that comes to my mind is the graphics. It's great, for an IOS game. But there's just too much bugs.
There are several issues that plagued the PC version, and they've only gotten worse on the IOS. The controls are mediocre at best, but at most times, it's just too sensitive. (And no, lowering the sensitivity does not work.) I usually found myself to be jerked off a mountain, like my hammer had a mind of its own. Carefully placing yourself on things is extremely difficult, which makes many parts of the game almost impossible to get past. That on top of the camera bounce, makes this game extremely harder than it needs to be. (And it was already very difficult.) there's a line between a rage game and a poorly made one, and Getting Over it sits directly in between. There's a lot of good things going on here, but it's a really bumpy ride. I would refrain from buying this if you're a casual gamer. If you really want a challenge, if you want to get so frustrated you want to gorge your eyes out, then go ahead.

It’s fun and a good way to test your patience and see how calm you are but there’s a fatal problem; the controls. The sensitivity for some reason likes to surprise you and so the game will randomly accelerate your hammer and send you in directions you did not wish to go in. Until this no longer happens, the game won’t be as good as it should. Also another thing that happened after I wrote the review, which I had put to three stars but now I moved it to one, when trying to reopen GettingOverIt after like an hour or so of inactivity, it’s impossible to play. There is no pause button. The screen is either black or zoomed into the background with no movement whatsoever. The character still moves, you can hear him but you cannot see him or any of the obstacles. Other players have had this same issue please fix this.

I had to play around a bunch with the deep lay and resolution settings in order to make the game actually playable. Lag only really affected me at the top of the mountain I don’t know why. To beat the game I had to load up the Yam with no other apps open, have it on the lowest resolution, and never exit GettingOverIt unless I was prepared to reload the game all over again (which takes some time). Other than that this was honestly more of a journey than a game and I for one am really glad I went on it. The game is so fun I will likely continue playing for the golden cauldron (awarded at 50 completions). If you have a solid PC or laptop I seriously recommend you buy this on that platform instead though.

I downloaded this game a couple of years ago and beat it once with a time of around 6 hours. I (obviously) was frustrated at the game but since I beat it I put it down thinking I was done with it. It stayed in my home screen for around a year and I never looked at it until one day when I decided to revisit it. This was both great and agonizing as the parts of the game that I despised were back to haunt me. But, as time went on I kept beating it and falling then climbing back up and beating it again. 3 successful climbs grew to 15 then 25 and soon I began wondering if I had it in me to get the golden pot. As time went on I kept getting wins and my pot kept getting more shiny. Once it was fully golden I decided to keep going and I’m glad I did as 6 hours of gameplay to win once became 30, then 20, 10, until I reached my record time of 4 minutes to beat the game. I understand that that isn’t nearly as good as world record material but I feel proud of my accomplishment. If you left the game thinking it was too difficult, try it again because it’s worth it.

I love this game, but there are a few game breaking glitches that made me reset everything I worked for. I sent an email about one of them, where when you spawn your hammer gets stuck under ground, but I just recently found a new one that forces you to reinstall. Here’s how it goes. When you spawn, and go into the water, if you point your hammer down diagonally, your hammer will get partially stick in the floor. When it un jams itself you get thrown into space. Then your game freezes and you can’t do anything but reinstall. Even when you restart the screen is still frozen. It would be great if you could take a look at the glitches.

Getting Over It may be described as “rage-inducing,” but for me it’s oddly therapeutic. There’s something fun about poking at a cliffside trying to make your way up, slowly going forward, accidentally pushing yourself off a cliff and making your way up again. When you fall it feels discouraging at first, but over time you slowly get better and better at getting over the mountain. It’s the kind of game that you want to master despite the difficulty.

The dev(s?) for this port are definitely dedicated to making it the best it can be. GettingOverIt was pretty buggy initially, but now it’s essentially equivalent to the PC version. This isn’t a game where it’s just left to die after release. Well worth the $5 bucks.

If you have been drooling over any of the latest iPhones but can’t justify the upgrade because your current phone is good enough, download this game! It has all the challenges of the pc game but with the added difficulty of no fast movements! Without a mouse, you can’t simply flick your hammer in a tight circle. Every move must be dragged across your grubby screen as fast as your finger allows. Forget about a quick swipe from the bottom of the screen, because that will close GettingOverIt and your poor, cauldron-legged man will be frozen in pause limbo until you reopen GettingOverIt , unpause the game, and witness him plummet back to the bottom. Devote enough time to this game and I can guarantee you’ll be in the market for a new phone sooner than later.

Seriously, as someone who has beaten the PC version, this game is unplayable in comparison. I haven’t given up on it yet, but I’m one of the few who never got flustered on the pc game, so your mileage may vary. If you raged at all playing it on PC, this game is not for you.

I bought this game after seeing a playthrough of this game by one of my favorite YouTubers, Markiplier. It is safe to say that his reactions were not exaggerated. At any moment, you were at risk of starting all over, and because of that you needed to be careful. However, the reason that this is five stars is because that at the end of it all, the satisfaction of knowing that I have managed to overcome the mountainous challenge that is this game made The whole experience worth it. You can expect to swear at the top of your lungs at a few points, but when it’s all over, the dopamine rush to your head makes it all worth it. All in all, it’s a great purchase for 5 dollars.

I played some Getting Over It on my friends PC and loved it. It’s an uncompromising, tough as nails puzzle/platformer that sets you up for hundreds of little successes/failures that will make you experience a wide range of emotions (mostly exhaustion). I love that I can play it on iOS now, and the touch controls are surprisingly responsive. This is a great, fully featured version of the game.

HOWEVER after just a few minutes of playing my iPhone X is burning up. The area around the camera is hot to the touch. I doubt any real damage is being done, but it does make me worry.

I highly recommend you play this game, just maybe consider the Steam/PC version if you worry about your phone’s wellbeing like me!

Edit: after a number of improvements, the aforementioned heat issue on my iPhone X is almost entirely solved! Playing the game on max settings I noticed only a small heat up (normal for any taxing mobile game) and when I switched to battery saver mode (which removes a lot of the background art) the heat was gone almost entirely. I’m glad the developer is so committed to improving the mobile version of the game!

This game is truly a piece of art. It teaches you to appreciate every step of the way, because if you don’t, you’ll probably have to start over anyway. I find Bennet foddy to be a very smart, interesting guy. I’m so sick of all the spoiled Youtubers who thought his commentary was annoying, this game should be experienced alone. I’ve beat this game 3 times. First time took 13 hours, second took 4 hours, and third took 48 minutes. Thank you for making this game, Bennet. It’s such a breath of fresh air, compared to the games that are a “quick fix to the fickle of the feckless” I don’t know if there will ever be a sequel, but I’m glad enough that something like this would ever be made.

This was an unexpectedly wonderful game. The controls are tricky though I’d say the most difficult part is keeping yourself calm as you make your way up. I went with a slow, deliberate style of playing through this game and it was actually a rather lovely experience.

Bit of warning: do not close your game at the end or accidentally swipe it closed. Also make sure your battery is charged. I had an issue where my game actually locked up the first time I finished so I didn’t get to see much past the credits. That was a bummer but I liked the game so much, I decided to beat it again and see the ending. It was totally worth it (both times).

Getting Over It is absolutely incredible! I just beat the game (which I never thought I’d be able to do) and generally this is a hard game, no questions whatsoever about that. This game can be infuriating at times when you fall, but I promise you that this game will make you learn to either control your anger or destroy something within your vicinity. If you can get past the anger, this game is a lot of fun. This is where the beautiful part of this game comes in (for me personally) I learned how to gain self control because of this game. That isn’t a joke, and that’s why I said earlier that this game will make you learn to control your temper. This has been a life changing experience for me, and is absolutely worth the $5.00!

Bugs have been fixed, thanks a whole lot Bennett! I will report to you anything I find that's glitchy or buggy in each new version! New update has fixed all bugs anything found I will report.

Edit: The only way to stream this game on twitch with 60 fps settings is you need to use omelet arcade, use 360 p (even this is too much for the game so it spazzes the hammer out) bet the game and since it tricks the game you are still streaming even though it says you aren't. Then switch the graphics to 60 fps, you're welcome for allowing for you to figure this out cause I know much about the game.

Double Edit: The game has its casual lag spikes constantly which are so annoying. Nvm I got to the top of the mountain once and there after there was no more lag and it ran perfectly. Edit no it did not fix it I still lag way more than im Supposed to.

Suggestion: you should add a bug/dev menu for making maps to upload and play for both pc and mobile, also the idea of livesplits option when streaming for those who speedrun of course. Nvm this won't ever happen...

Thanks for taking your time to read this Bennett really appreciate it! Know that I strive for the best of this game!
Hopefully you read this!like you have given the others a response.

I must have finished the game over 30 times now, and I can still continue to go back to it almost every day now. The satisfaction of getting over the mountain and into space never gets old. It may be the definition of hell for new players, but it is completely worth the play through; If you’re someone like me, then you won’t just play it one time. If you can really get used to controlling the man in the pot, then you’ll get to the point where it nearly feels like a speed run. Here’s my challenge for those who read this review: Download this game, ESPECIALLY if you own an IPad, and try to go quick enough to the point where Bennett never stops talking. It’s art, it’s philosophy, it’s the best game of 2017 and one of if not the best app I own on my IPad. A true Masterpiece ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have had this game for about a week now, and I think it is really (
This game is obama
am currently trying to get to the “Orange Hell” part. My highest point is by the security camera by the stairs. It can be frustrating at times whenever you fall down and maybe even loose everything,once you practice a lot, the obstacles can become easier and easier until you find yourself where you always wanted to be. The creator of the game, (I won’t say his name because I forget how to spell it and also I’m going to only say part of what he said) that “whenever the moment was gone, it was trash” or something like that. For me, the moments in this game never pass. To me, it is all new, even though I’ve already cleared some parts. To me, it is never trash. I just wanted to quickly tell you want I thought of the game 😀

This game is super great. Probably one of the hardest games I’ve ever played. But there is a really weird bug/glitch that won’t let me play the game. Any time I open GettingOverIt the loading screen appears for about 7 seconds. After that the screen changes and looks like the background from where I left off. It’s just that. The character isn’t there. Not even the mountain. It’s just a plain green background. For a minute I thought it was part of the loading screen. But after sliding my finger around the screen I heard the character grunting and his hammer hitting a rock. I moved it around some more and I realized I’m controlling the player, but I can’t see anything. It’s really weird and I hope you can fix it. This game will earn it fifth star once that bug is fixed.

EDIT: The bug is now fixed. Thank you so much for taking time to fix this bug.

I’ve also never written a game review. This game was incredibly frustrating and hard. Took me 22 hrs of gameplay (according to the final splash screen) to finish over a period of about 6 months. I learned a lot about myself and that’s why I’m writing this review. Most games are entertaining/addicting/fun, or whatever; this game is all of those plus a level of frustration that is hard to explain. Overcoming frustration and the beginnings of rage was a start to mastering the ‘game’. The final key for me was to learn to enjoy the journey, especially starting over. Once you realize that you can climb, falling no longer scares you. This ‘game’ helped me to see these things and I understand that this is simply a microcosm of life. I highly recommend this game if you are willing to power through the hard times. Don’t bother if you are impatient and have a low threshold for pain.

When I originally purchased this game, I just did it so I could act like I was a streamer and maybe some kids would befriend me. That was around 2 years ago when I first installed this game. I have downloaded and deleted the game many times, not just because of frustration but also because of space issues, and general unplayability on certain devices. This may seem like a rage game but I like to restart just to listen to the narrative and just to help me focus on something else. This game trained my mind to not just quit on something because you were bored and frustrated. The game told me to stick with my failures and get over them. Finally, I am happy to announce after about 2 years and maybe 10 hours in actual focused playtime, I have conquered the game. Even though this game is very old and not trending, it is very well worth you time.

This game is not easy, it is perhaps one of the tougher games you can play. However, it’s amazing, you most likely won’t get far for a while. That’s ok, you don’t learn anything if you complete it quickly. This game almost teaches you not only to get back up, but why you need to get back up. The narrator knows how challenging the task at hand is, and seems almost condescending at first, but as the game progresses you learn he’s on your side. Play this in the spare time you have in the morning, it’s going to frustrate you, but maybe when you get to work and have a large assignment due in a short time frame, you can remember that you already made progress in something harder and less meaningful that morning, so this will be easy. It’s like therapy for IOS. One of the best apps I’ve downloaded
