From the maker of QWOP; Getting Over it with Bennet Foddy is a game built specifically to frustrate and upset its players.

It's a surreal indie platformer with inverted mouse only controls, no save games or checkpoints, where one gently caress up can lead to you falling from any point in the roughly 5 hour long game to the very beginning in seconds.

That's fantastic. I would NEVER play it myself, but I could watch people fail at it all day long (as long as I can watch their expressions)

to be honest id probably hate playing that game too, but watching other people play - like that one korean dude at 3:00 is enough

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

My favorite thing about that game is that when you fall down and lose quite a bit of progress the narrator will have inspirational quotes or the game will play an old song (probably songs that are so old that the recordings are no longer copyrighted). You can see/hear it in the video, but it might not be entirely obvious.

It's supposed to make you feel better, but usually it just adds insult to injury. Although it was funny when one of the quotes was "Don't hate the player, hate the game" - Ice-T.

I do like that Bennett Foddy is upfront about his motivations for Getting Over It:

"A game I made
For a certain kind of person

To hurt them."

I got it free in last months humble bundle but I never downloaded it because just watching someone play it pissed me off. I do enjoy Foddy's wry observations throughout the game and you should at least watch a competent let's play of it so you can hear the full screed that he is putting out there.

Huh. I didn't realise he was Australian. I looked the guy up, and it turns out he used to be in the band Cut Copy. That's really cool, to succeed at both making music and making video games!

I want to see the video of the guy beating the game after 15 hours of effort and then having a moment of reflection on his life.

My favorite part of Getting Over It is that a favorite streamer of mine took two days of trying to beat it, and now he can do it in around 20 minutes. It was fun to watch.
