The game contains monologues from its creator about how difficulties in life help a person move forward and overcome various obstacles.

In Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, the main character uses a hammer to fly up, swing up, swing, or jump. At the same time, Diogenes does not like to talk much. This is a reference to the ancient Greek philosopher of the same name, who preached the ideas of asceticism, self-sufficiency and independence. The game has a large number of cliffs and ledges.

However, if the gamer manages to reach the top of the mountain, he can learn some secrets and receive a reward.
