I spent a year creating a difficult climbing game inspired by the rage game Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. I am a big fan of Bennett's work! Ever since Getting Over It came out I was sure countless similar games would pop up, but I was disappointed to see this not materialize fully so I took it upon myself to create this game, hoping to contribute to a "Foddian Type" game genre.

It's hard to condense a year's work into 15 minutes, there are obviously a million things I could have mentioned. I included the parts I found most interesting and I tried to focus mainly on the design rather than the super technical bits. Feel free to hit me up on Twitter or join the Discord if you have any specific questions about the ga

    I really admire people who have an idea and then just... do it.
  • @fjafproductions
    Thank you for making this game, watching markiplier rage again puts a smile on my face
  • @DimensionDevices
    That swimming animation is ultra-realistic. That's how I swim. Both arms sideways at the same time. Great attention to detail!
  • @ElUltimoPacto
    The simplicity in scripting, the humor, and the actual entertainment. New sub.
  • @demonback69
    Markiplier wants to know your address (damn 1k 😭)
  • @dmurphy2351
    That first leg movement with physics really was a spectacle to behold, any game where a knee can rotate 360 more than it should is a worthy game in my eyes
  • @treway9517
    “Frustration is just apart of learning something new” Damn. That actually hit lol.
  • @R0bbyE
    Mark loves this game already. I can tell!
  • @txlefty3025
    I wish all game companies made YouTube videos like this😂 This was awesome, I bought the game and I’m loving the challenge! Please make more of this!!
  • @RoyalMunjask
    Seeing you doing flips with your character just SCREAMS the need for an achievement like : "do a flip and grab a rock without falling", or stuff like that! The game looks amazing!
  • 13:01 I laughed so hard cause it was a simple solution and everyone would've fixed it differently, yours was creative
  • I appreciate your practical approach of making a game that doesn't take itself seriously, and using pre-existing resources to lesson the workload. I tend to do everything from absolute scratch and have a perfectionist complex that prevents me from getting things done efficiently. Like, the stupid way the guys arms flaps in the water to "swim". That's what makes a game fun.
  • @EntityNotFound
    You should add a workshop to this game, allow people to make their own maps!
  • @zatchquaz
    Just dropping by after finishing the game to say thank you for a wonderful time. it really captures that feeling of getting over it, with the initial disdain, to the satisfaction of the beating the game, its definitely going to stay installed for those quick sessions. Thank you, Pontypants
  • @timjf123
    Congrats on the success of your game! I’m so happy for you! After all you have struggled through game development you definitely deserve this win ❤
