Getting Over It is a physics-based obstacle course game where you control a character wielding a hammer navigating challenging paths.

How to Play Getting Over

The game's protagonist is a man sitting inside a jar. This prevents him from using his legs and forces him to rely entirely on his single tool, the hammer. You can control the hammer to hook, pull, push, or jump. The length of the arm and hammer can be slightly varied, creating extremely agile but also risky moving entities.

As you navigate The Treacherous Path, you will encounter a chaotic mountain of random objects, including tables, chairs, giant apples, and floating rocks.

Controls:

Mouse Movement: Rotate the Yosemite Hammer in a full circle to find leverage.
Push/Pull: Move the mouse toward or away from surfaces to interact with the environment.
Vault: Push the hammer quickly against the ground to launch Diogenes into the air.

In-game environment

The map is famously divided into three game stages.

Stage 1 introduces you to basic movement.
Stage 2 features steep rocks made of household items like brooms and furniture.
Stage 3 (The Grills) is the ultimate test, where iron grids can easily trap your hammer, leading to devastating falls.

Perhaps the most infamous entity is the total lack of checkpoints; a single mistake can trigger a "Bad Ending," sending you all the way back to the start.
