From Getting Over It design notes
What was said about Getting Over It
Getting Over It has no checkpoints, so every fall risks a full reset. A fall can send the player back to the bottom of the single continuous level. That makes each move carry real risk.
Bennett Foddy's only help is a philosophical voice over. The game gives no practical aid. Foddy's narration is the only support the player gets while climbing.
