Getting Over It Classic
Getting Over It Classic - Physics Nightmare That'll Test Your Sanity
Stumbled across this one during a late-night gaming session and boy, what a ride. Getting Over It Classic is basically digital masochism wrapped in a physics puzzle. Released on 11.13.2024, this game takes the whole "climbing with a hammer" concept and cranks the difficulty to eleven. Fair warning - you'll probably throw your mouse at least once.
The premise sounds simple enough: climb up using just a hammer and physics. Reality? Every tiny mistake sends you tumbling back down, sometimes losing hours of progress in seconds. It's infuriating, addictive, and somehow deeply satisfying when you finally nail that tricky section. Perfect for those who enjoy platform games that don't hold your hand.
How to Play
You control a guy in a cauldron wielding a hammer. Use the hammer to grab onto surfaces, rocks, and objects to pull yourself upward. The trick is mastering the physics - every movement needs precision. One wrong swing and you're sliding back down the mountain. The controls feel intentionally awkward at first, but that's the whole point.
