“I feel that games like 'Getting Over It' or others with the same premise (control a character, face the same challenges repeatedly, aim to reach the top, risk losing progress, and experience frustration) offer a lot of user-friendly variability in gameplay, thanks to the good visual cues (and sometimes audio cues, which are great).”

The humor in the game is highlighted by its chaotic multiplayer experience, where players find themselves laughing uncontrollably at the antics of their friends, such as comical falls and exaggerated reactions. This shared laughter enhances the enjoyment, making co-op play particularly memorable and entertaining.
“The multiplayer aspect is so much fun; it's absolute chaos! It's hard to make your jumps when you are laughing hysterically because your anonymous friend fell from the 3rd level all the way to the ground level and flashed for a split second on your screen, screaming all the way down!”
“Play it in co-op if you can! The feeling when you see a friend falling and screaming while you're standing on a platform, unable to jump because of laughing, is beautiful.”
