I was expecting some sort of egregious article on Bennett Foddy. Glad that wasn't the case.

I don't know how his game 9 years ago would affect decisions to take a peak on what he has to offer now. It certainly doesn't compare to QWOP. Getting Over It is more polished and, from what I've seen, more enjoyable.

The link was about more being facetious than anything. I have nothing again Foddy and QWOP personally.

I know myself: if I start playing it to win, a game with unreliable controls — which, I think, describes Getting Over It in a similar way it did QWOP — would drive me all kinds of mad.

Thank you for making a suggestion, though. I appreciate you showing me new stuff I might enjoy.

Ahhh, gotchya. Thanks for the clarification!

Right, it can get irritating, but the controls are way more intuitive. Whether that's better or worse... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
