SCALE A SURREAL MOUNTAIN AS A GOLF BALL, WITH USER-FRIENDLY CONTROLS

If you've ever dreamed of scaling a mountain as a golf ball, then Golfing Over It with Alva Majo is the game for you. Inspired by the 2017 sensation Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, this game puts a unique twist on the concept. Instead of maneuvering a man in a cauldron, you take on the challenge as a golf ball. The mountain you're climbing? It's as surreal as a Salvador Dali painting. The best part? The challenge lies in the climb itself, and the controls won't make you want to hurl your computer out the window.

BENNETT FODDY'S ENDORSEMENT ELEVATES THE GAME'S CREDIBILITY AND APPEAL

When Bennett Foddy, the mastermind behind the original mountain-climbing challenge, endorses a game, you know you're in for something special—or possibly torturous, depending on your perspective. Bennett Foddy has played Golfing Over It and given it his seal of approval. It's akin to having Stephen King endorse your horror story or Gordon Ramsay praise your homemade Beef Wellington. It's a significant endorsement. The game delivers a fresh, albeit exasperating, experience while retaining the core spirit of the original.

NAVIGATE A MOUNTAIN FILLED WITH BIZARRE AND INFURIATING CHALLENGES

The primary objective is to golf your way to the top of a peculiar mountain. But make no mistake, this isn't your grandparent's leisurely Sunday golf game. The mountain is riddled with challenges ranging from the absurd to the maddening. You'll encounter everything from spinning hammers to floating platforms. Just as you start getting the hang of it, the game throws another curveball at you. It's as difficult as it is addictive, like playing mini-golf in a fever dream.

ALVA MAJO'S COMMENTARY ADDS PHILOSOPHICAL DEPTH TO THE UPHILL JOURNEY

As you make your way up (or down, depending on your skill level), Alva Majo's soothing voice will accompany you, explaining why he created such a devilish game. It's like having both a therapist and a tormentor. Alva's commentary adds depth to the game, prompting you to ponder the meaning of success, failure, and the journey in between. It's more than just a game; it's a philosophical exploration disguised as a seemingly simple task.

FALLING BACK TO THE START TEACHES RESILIENCE AND ADDS CHARM

Ah, the fall. Just when you think you're about to reach the summit, one wrong move sends you tumbling back to the bottom. It's like dropping your ice cream cone on a scorching summer day, but in a video game. Yet, the fall isn't just a setback; it adds to the game's allure. The descent is as vital as the ascent, teaching you patience, resilience, and how to curse under your breath.

REACHING THE SUMMIT DELIVERS UNPARALLELED JOY AND A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

So what happens when you finally reach the top? Will you feel elated? Will you deem it all worthwhile? Absolutely. The sense of achievement is akin to completing a marathon or assembling IKEA furniture without leftover screws. It's a moment of pure, unadulterated joy that makes all the falls, frustrations, and existential musings worthwhile. If you're anything like me, this might be your greatest accomplishment of the year, and you'll probably take a screenshot to set as your desktop wallpaper.

GOLFING OVER IT: AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER WORTH THE RIDE

And hey, if you ever tire of climbing the mountain, there's always regular golf to fall back on. But where's the fun in that?
