Real-life simulation game
Getting Over It is an online simulation game for kids that’s playable on PC, Android phones, and iOS devices. Bennet Foddy created this game, ‘For a certain kind of person,’ as he states in his description of the game.
Mountain climbing for rewards
The game’s goal is simple; you have to climb to the top of the mountain, using your pickaxe to clear your path, all while learning philosophical observations like ‘Mountains build in our minds from our efforts to climb them.’ You also get to collect gold coins.
Getting Over It takes you through real-life obstacles to collect coins and to obtain a high score. Kids will enjoy playing this game, as it’s a great activity to pass the time and learn. The game’s unique hook is that the main character has no legs and wears a cast-iron tub for pants. The game defies the rules of physics, which is part of the charm.
You can also play alternative games like Folk Tale and Imagine Earth.

The objective of the game is straightforward, but it’s also challenging and ultimately rewarding. The level of difficulty and the obstacles you have to face makes it all worthwhile.
You can download the game from Steam, the App Store, Google Play, or any other app store. Getting Over It is a paid game but also has a free version. However, the free version has some downsides to it where you can’t save your progress, and there are in-app ads.
Our take
Children will enjoy playing this game, but it’s also engaging for adults. It challenges the mind and keeps you intrigued. If you prefer titles with some exploration, you can try Stranger Things 3: The Game.
Should you download it?
Yes. Passing the time is something we often need to do, and Getting Over It is an excellent game to help you do that.
