## Description

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a minimalist, punishing climbing game. You control a character using only a hammer and a pot to haul yourself up a treacherous mountain, while Bennett Foddy offers philosophical observations.

The experience is built on long play sessions and the possibility of losing progress. Between 2 and ∞ hours of agonizing gameplay, depending on skill, you may reach the summit after many trials, with humor that is dry, self-aware, and often surprising as you reflect on frustration and perseverance.

## Review summary

Getting Over It on iOS is a faithful, well-made port that captures the PC game's challenge and mood. It offers satisfying progression in short bursts and is worth the $5 for fans of difficult games. However, its touch controls demand a steep learning curve, and occasional input bugs, lack of controller support, and minimal swing feedback can hinder progress and amplify frustration. Overall, a rewarding but punishing experience.

### Pros

- Faithful PC-to-iOS port that preserves the feel and gameplay.
- Solid performance and graphics on iOS; looks good for a mobile port.
- Engaging and highly rewarding; short sessions enable steady progress.
- Worth the $5 price.
- Appreciation for developers and Bennett Foddy; well-executed port.

### Cons

- Touch controls require a learning curve and careful sensitivity tuning.
- Input instability and occasional bugs (e.g., rejoin causing extreme sensitivity, frame-rate related issues) that can cost progress.
- Lack of controller support; limited to Apple Arcade/standard iOS controls.
- UI provides little feedback on swing strength; no clear indicator of how hard to swing.
- Can be extremely frustrating or rage-inducing, which may deter some players.
