Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy | Full Game and Ending (No Commentary)

hmm there's no feeling more intense than starting over if you deleted your homework the day before it was due as i have or if you left your wallet at home and you have to go back after spending an hour in the commute if you want some money at the casino and then put all your winnings on red but it came up black if you got your best shirt dry cleaned before a wedding and then immediately dropped food on it if you want an argument with a friend and then later discovered that they just returned to their original view starting over is harder than starting up if you're not ready for that like if you've already had a bad day then what you're about to go through might be too much feel free to go away and come back i'll be here [Music] all right thanks for coming with me on this trip i'll understand if you have to take a break at any point just find a safe place to stop and quit the game don't worry i'll save your progress always even your mistakes this game is a homage to a free game that came out in 2002 titled sexy hiking the author of that game was jesuit a mysterious check designer who was known at the time as the father of b games b games are rough assemblages of found objects designers slap them together very quickly and freely and they're often too rough and unfriendly to gain much of a following they're built more for the joy of building them than his polished products no in a certain way sexy hiking is the perfect embodiment of a b game it's built almost entirely out of found and recycled parts and it's one of the most unusual and unfriendly games of its time in it your task is simply to drag yourself up a mountain with a hammer that act of climbing in the digital world or in real life has certain essential properties that give the game its flavor no amount of forward progress is guaranteed some cliffs are too sheer or too slippery and the player is constantly unremittingly in danger of falling and losing everything [Music] anyway when you start sexy hiking you're standing next to this dead tree that blocks the way to the entire rest of the game it might take you an hour to get over that tree a lot of people never got past it pride and you poke at it exploring the limits of your reach and your strength trying to find a way up and over and there's a sense of truth in that lack of compromise most obstacles in video game worlds are fake you can be completely confident in your ability to get through them once you have the correct method or the correct equipment or just by spending enough time in that sense every pixelated obstacle in sexy hiking is real the obstacles in sexy hiking are unyielding and that makes the game uniquely frustrating but i'm not sure jesus intended to make a frustrating game the frustration is just essential to the act of climbing and it's authentic to the process of building a game about climbing a funny thing happened to me as i was building this mountain i'd have an idea for a new obstacle and build it test it and it would usually turn out to be unreasonably hard but i couldn't bring myself to make it easier it already felt like my inability to get past the new obstacle was my fault as a player rather than as a builder imaginary mountains build themselves from our efforts to climb them and it's our repeated attempts to reach the summit that turns those mountains into something real when you're building a video game world you're building with ideas and that can be like working with quick set cement you mold your ideas into a certain shape that can be played with and in the process of playing with them they begin to harden and set until they're immutable like rock and at that point you can't change the world not without breaking it into pieces and starting fresh with new ideas [Music] for years now people have been predicting that games would soon be made out of prefabricated objects bought in a store and assembled into a world and for the most part that hasn't happened because the objects in the stores are trash i don't mean they look bad or that they're badly made although a lot of them are i mean they're trash in the way that food becomes trash as soon as you put it in the sink things are made to be consumed and used in a certain context and once the moment is gone they transform into garbage in the context of technology those moments pass by in seconds [Music] over time we've poured more and more refuse into this vast digital landfill that we call the internet it now vastly outnumbers and outweighs the things that are fresh and untainted and unused when everything around us is cultural trash trash becomes the new medium the lingua franca of the digital age you can build culture out of trash but only trash culture b games [Music] maybe this is what digital culture is a monstrous mountain of trash the ash heap of creativity's fountain a landfill with everything we ever thought of in it grand infinite and unsorted there's 3d models of breakfast gennexus fanfic novels scan magazines green screen shia labeouf banned stuff scenes on live league facebook's got lifelike bots with unbranded adverts and candid shots of kanye and taylor swift mashups car crash epic failed shifts russian dash cam vids discussions of mcribs discarded forgotten unrecycled muddled rotten untitled [Music] everything's fresh for about six seconds until some newer thing beckons and we hit refresh and there's years of persevering disappearing into the pile out of style out of sight in this context it's tempting to make friendly content that's gentle that lets you churn through it but not earn why make something demanding if it just gets piled up in the landfill filed in with the bland things when games when you they wanted a lot from you daunting you taunting you resetting and delaying you players played stoically now everyone's turned off by that they want to burn through it quickly a quick fix for the fickle some tricks for the clicks of the feckless but that's not you you're an acrobat you could swallow a baseball bat now i know most likely you're watching this on youtube or twitch while some dude with 10 million views does it for you like a baby bird being fed chewed up food that's culture too [Music] but on the off chance that you're playing this what i'm saying is trash is disposable but maybe it doesn't have to be approachable what's the feeling like are you stressed i guess you don't hate it if you got this far feeling frustrated it's underrated an orange is sweet juicy fruit locked inside a bitter peel that's not how i feel about a challenge i only want the bitterness it's coffee it's grapefruit it's licorice [Music] [Music] [Music] what [Music] um [Music] okay [Music] um [Music] what it feels like we're closer now composer and climber designer and user you could have refused but you didn't there was something in you that was hidden that chose to continue what [Music] uh what [Music] what what no oh what what [Music] it means a lot to me that you've come this far endured this much every wise crack every insensitivity every setback you've forgiven me is a kingly gift that you've given me what no what [Music] what [Music] what [Music] no what [Music] we have the same taste you and i it's not ambition it's ambition's opposite an object mission to taste defeat you'll feel bad if you win so i put this snake in for you [Music] what what [Music] what [Music] what [Music] [Music] what um [Music] what [Music] oh [Music] what [Music] [Music] what [Music] [Music] what [Music] so [Music] yep [Music]

factory the playground the construction site the granite rocks and the lake side you've learned to hike there's no way left to go but up and in a moment i'll shut up but let me say [Music] uh [Music]
