    The gameplay of "Golfing Over It" draws heavy inspiration from "Getting Over It," featuring similar fall mechanics but with a more accessible control scheme. While many players appreciate the fun and challenging nature of the golfing mechanics, some criticize the level design and the game's tendency to become easier once the mechanics are mastered. Overall, the game offers a mix of frustration and satisfaction, with a responsive gameplay loop that encourages persistence despite its rage-inducing elements.

    • “The map design is mostly great, the controls are easy to learn and use, and the gameplay is good.”
    • “Fun and challenging; once you get the hang of the mechanics, it's pretty exciting.”
    • “Golfing over it, on the other hand, can really make you enjoy the mechanics, to the point when sometimes it's more interesting to test them than to climb.”
    • “I think this is quite bad game design because once you learn the mechanics, the rest of the game becomes quite easy.”
