Evaluation
Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy launched on December 6, 2017 as a self-contained, intentionally designed game with a single, complete experience. The store description presents no indication of planned expansions or additional content — it describes a finished product with a defined beginning, challenge, and reward. Since launch, the developer has issued a handful of maintenance patches to fix bugs and improve compatibility (most recently in May 2021 and January 2022), but none of these introduced new content. The one post-launch major content announcement (September 24, 2025) was for an entirely separate game — Baby Steps — not an update to Getting Over It. No DLC has ever been announced or listed for this game, and the developer has never suggested additional content is planned. This game shipped complete and has remained so.
Evidence
Store description presents a fully self-contained game with a defined challenge and reward, with no mention of planned updates, expansions, or future content.
Bennett Foddy announced Baby Steps, a new standalone game from the same developer, posted on the Getting Over It page to notify fans. This is a separate product, not an update or expansion to Getting Over It.

About this game
A game I made
For a certain kind of person
To hurt them.
Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a punishing climbing game, a homage to Jazzuo's 2002 B-Game classic 'Sexy Hiking'. You move the hammer with the mouse, and that's all there is. With practice, you'll be able to jump, swing, climb and fly. Great mysteries and a wonderful reward await the master hikers who reach the top of the mountain.
To quote Jazzuo himself: "The hiking action is very similar to way you would do it in real life, remember that and you will do well".
Epilepsy warning: contains some surprising elements.

- Climb up an enormous mountain with nothing but a hammer and a pot.
- Listen as I make philosophical observations about the problem at hand.
- Between 2 and ∞ hours of agonizing gameplay, depending. The median time to finish for my playtesters was 5 hours, but the mean was closer to ∞.
- Lose all your progress, over and over.
- Feel new types of frustration you didn't know you were capable of.
- Magical reward awaits hikers who reach the top.
