About GETTING OVER IT
Game Description
Getting Over It is this weird climbing game where you control a guy stuck in a pot, and all you have is a hammer to drag yourself up a giant mountain. Sounds simple, but the whole thing runs on physics, so every swing, push, or pull matters a ton. You use your mouse to move the hammer around, trying to hook onto stuff and pull yourself higher. The catch? One wrong move can send you tumbling down big chunks of the mountain, making you start over or lose a ton of progress. It’s equal parts frustrating and kind of mesmerizing once you get into the rhythm.
Story Background
You’re basically climbing this huge, bizarre mountain using only a hammer, with no clear reason why you’re doing it or what’s at the top. The game focuses more on the journey and your reaction to the climb rather than any story or lore.
Game Information
Why This Game is Addictive
Honestly, I keep playing because when you finally nail a tough section and don’t fall, it feels like a tiny personal win. Even though it’s brutal, that little progress spike keeps me coming back, trying to push just a bit higher. Plus, it’s oddly calming to just focus on the swinging and not think about anything else, even if the game hates you half the time.
How to Play
Desktop Controls
You use your mouse to control the hammer. Move it around to grab or push on things, and click/drag to swing yourself up the mountain. That’s it.
Mobile Controls
Same deal but you use your finger to drag the hammer around the screen. Tap and swipe to swing and climb.
Pro Tips & Strategies
Don’t rush. Moving slowly and deliberately helps you avoid big falls.
Learn how to ‘hook’ edges with the hammer—sometimes you don’t need to push up, just hang and pull.
Expect to fall a lot. It’s part of the game, so don’t get too mad when it happens.
Try to stay calm, even when you lose progress; panicking usually makes things worse.
Watch a few videos to get a sense of how others move the hammer; it’s more about finesse than brute force.
5 helpful tips to master the game
Game Features
The only control you have is the hammer, which you swing and hook with your mouse, making every movement feel super physical.
There’s no checkpoints—if you mess up, you can fall back a long way and it hurts, like really hurts.
The mountain itself is a strange, abstract jumble of rocks, trees, random objects, and weird platforms that feel almost unfair sometimes.
The game is quiet except for the occasional voice of the developer talking, which adds a weird, almost philosophical vibe to the madness.
It doesn’t hold your hand at all. You learn through trial, error, and plenty of rage quits.
