  If you needed more things to get over, this game will provide you with a fresh set of challenges. This time you must send the golf ball flying. It may sound simple enough, and even at first you might think this will be way easier than Getting Over It with BF, but the real challenge soon emerges - air-juggling. As long as the ball doesn't hit anything in mid-air, you can hit the ball as many times as you want (with a few caveats). In essence, you're multi-jumping in a very cumbersome, but fair fashion. I like the game so far, and I think it's something worth checking out if you've mastered the art of hammering your way up a mountain. EDIT: Finally golfed over it. That took a while.

  Doesn't have the charm or polish Getting Over It has.

  Nice concept which fails to convince. I really like the style of this game and I was sure that a ripoff from "getting over it" would do the job for me, but it didnt. The creator of this game unfortunately did not understand why "getting over it" is so good and so fun to play through. In this game you have less control over your moves because most of the time you are waiting till the ball stops rolling. The best decision for this game would be to plan your moves carefully but you just cant. You dont have time to adjust the next strikes during the time of the flight so its just random mouse movements after all. Also the power you apply is not linear to the force that is applied to the ball, which is an absolute desaster. There is only a little bit of experience to gain, mostly of how obstacles work and where they try to mess with you, but you propably wont really get better. In "getting over it" you can lose a lot of progress when you tilt or just didnt pay attention. This game here just loves to throw you back to the bottom, no matter how carefully you played and how often you tried. So for me it is: + Nice idea + Cheap - No personal development - Concept of try and error - Loves to throw you back

  Not worth the money. Narration is a complete ripoff from Getting over it and the game design is horrendous. Almost like a bunch of google images copy and pasted into the game to create "objects". The worst part of the game BY FAR for me, is that it doesn't work what so ever with multiple monitors. The game says it's fullscreen, but let's you click away from it onto your other screens, freezing the game, and ruining your jump. EVERY FUCKING TIME. It's such a challenge to try and keep my invisible mouse in the tiny window of one monitor without accidentaly clicking onto my other monitors, WHILE TIMING A JUMP. absolutely retarded game would not recommend.

  As someone who really enjoyed Getting Over It (after the rage subsided), I simply cannot recommend Golfing Over It. While it has the same overall concept, the execution falls flat. So where to begin? The narration is atrocious. The accent is so thick I can barely understand half of what he's saying without using the subtitles. The script itself in some parts is almost a direct copy of Getting Over It, with a few choice words replaced. I ended up turning off the narration halfway in because I felt like I'd already heard it all before. The controls in this game are solid, but only when you're actually in control. You move the ball by holding down left click, moving the mouse to adjust your aim and power, and releasing. As long as the ball remains in the air, you can continue to control it the same way, but there are diminishing returns on the power of each hit until the ball settles on the ground again. Once the ball touches ANY surface, it will turn black and you will be unable to control the ball at all until it stops moving and turns white again. This is where the game becomes needlessly frustrating. Trying to maneuver through tight spaces or getting yourself off a wall your ball is wedged into will often cause you to lose control of the ball the moment you move it, leaving you helpless to watch it bounce slowly back down to the bottom. Yes, the controls in Getting Over It were much harder to learn and near impossible to master, but at least you were always in control. You could still salvage a bad fall and not lose too much progress. Any mistake you make in Golfing Over It, it's almost entirely up to chance how much progress you're going to lose. When you fall, there is a chance the game will pity you and bring you back to the point before you fell, but it only brings more attention to how badly it's designed that you would need a free mulligan at all. Making the player always in control of the ball, but ramping up the difficulty of the course would have made the game much more enjoyable. The difficulty curve is nonexistent in this game. There's a few problem areas here and there, but I never felt like the game was getting more difficult as I climbed. In fact, a lot of the higher areas were considerably easier with much larger safety nets. The final stretch was so stupidly easy I didn't even feel any satisfaction from beating it. If you're a fan of Getting Over It, do yourself a favor and skip this one. It's a shameless knockoff, and not a very good one at that.

  As a fan of Getting Over It, this copy is a bit of a letdown. The game doesn't have the polish of Getting Over It. Despite the narrator's claim at the beginning, this game does NOT put you more in control, in fact, the majority of the time you are simply watching the ball bounce about where it may. The narrator understands that the control is what makes the challenge worthwhile, yet somehow thinks that Getting Over It was lacking in control, and this game has more. In Getting Over It, you are 100% in control of the hammer, which directly causes the motion of the character. In this game, you are unable to control the ball after it has first touched something. This means that any mistake you make requires you to simply watch, with no control, as the ball falls down. The level design (at least the portions I've seen on streams/in game) is very poor as well. In Getting Over It, there were ways to fall to the beginning, but they typically required you to make mistakes on top of mistakes (which again, is due to being in complete control and overcorrecting). Here however, there are many opportunities to fall to the very bottom, and each time you do, it will be from a single, uncorrectable mistake. I will probably beat this game eventually, but the time put is definitely not as rewarding as Getting Over It, so even if you were a fan of that game, I wouldn't recommend this one. If you haven't played either one, I would definitely recommend skipping this one in favor of Getting over it With Bennet Foddy.

  While the premise behind Golfing over it makes it a fitting tribute to getting over it, there is a point where the two games differ dramatically. In Getting over it, you were in control. No matter what. If you made a mistake, you had the option to try and correct yourself, and in the process of correcting yourself, you could also make it much worse. In golfing over it, however, beyond the initial strike and whatever secondary hits you may be able to squeeze in before you hit an object, you have no control. Once the ball has touched an object, it is no longer able to be interacted with. Even if it is something that could have been corrected, often that mistake will lead you to the beginning. While this is similar to Getting over it, the lack of constant control is particularly odious, especially when the ball seems to defy physics in order to delay you (Ive had the ball roll uphill and fall off, without enough force or momentum to allow it). While it is a fun game, it is very casual, it forgoes control and interesting narration for randomized reaction and annoying banter (The narrator likes to mispronounce words). If you are looking for a game that is similar to Getting over it, then you will find the same ideas, but poorly implemented, which largely detracts from the game.
