!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Oh ok Mr Picard - make NO attempt to inform us of this game will you!? 😝

Haha, sorry - I just assumed everyone had heard of this wonderful nightmare! Like the other commenter said, it's called "Getting Over It". It has cool narration as you're playing - you'll fall down and then get a talk about overcoming failure.

Isn’t this game made by the same person/group that did QWOP and GIRP? Man I miss girp that was the first and only game I tried speedrunning.

I've never heard of GIRP, but yeah Bennet Foddy was responsible for both Getting Over it and QWOP

Ahh it’s still available! linky

A keyboard is essential so it’s not mobile appropriate.

Thanks! I'll try it later

I don't know if it was the same people, but it definitely felt like a spiritual successor!
