While games like Cuphead and Dark Souls are notorious for their difficulty, games like QWOP and Getting Over It occupy their own niche genre. For every inch I'm able to move naked pot man, my heart swells with pride.Įven if it takes me 15 minutes to get up a single hill, finding myself at the top makes the struggle worth it somehow. Getting Over It offers the same joy, and so much more. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the strange sense of elation after moving my QWOP runner just a few feet farther than everyone else. There was no real incentive for winning, yet we competed as though large sums of money were on the line. We’d gather around and see who could move the helpless QWOP man the farthest. Typically, it was a game I played with a group of friends in my college’s lounge area. Yes, we’re talking about the same infuriating browser game where you're tasked with guiding a clumsy, loose-limbed jogger to victory using only your Q, W, O, and P keys. Those who’ve attempted the game likely won’t be surprised to learn that it was created by the same evil genius behind QWOP, Bennett Foddy. Getting Over It is a fantastic lesson in frustration and perseverance. However, the game is so much deeper than that. On the surface, you could say it’s a 2D side-scroller where players take control of a naked man in a pot forced to maneuver around using only a hammer. Getting Over It is a game that’s incredibly difficult to describe.
