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.

Have you tried, I dunno, getting over it?

So many times...

[–] Firefly7@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 9 months ago

for context (beyond that being Getting Over It): orteil42 is the creator of Cookie Clicker.

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

[–] InquisitiveApathy@lemm.ee 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The game is called "Getting Over It." It's a platformer where you need to climb a large mountain of ridiculous things using only a hammer to maneuver yourself.

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 21 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Also the hammer is hard to control. It’s kind of like qwop in its awkwardness.

kind of like qwop

Oh god no. I'm gonna start. Wish me luck

He can’t hear you he’s currently stuck on snake way.

It really is the qwop successor

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

It literally is, both made by Bennet Foddy

I'm gonna regret askign aren't I...

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.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] charmed_electron@programming.dev 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ahh it’s still available! linky

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

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks! I'll try it later

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