You can say what you will about the game, but you can't convince me this isn't art. Now is it GOOD art. I don't know about that. But that is IS art I think is self-evident.

[@YEs69th420]

I'd say so. It's successful at what it was attempting to do; a synthesis of narrative and gameplay, all while being a novel experience.

The weird thing about this game is that I... actually didn't have much issue with it? It rewards playing it slowly and getting a feeling for the momentum and friction of things.

[@thegreatBarbossa]

That's the point, the game is designed to annoy you so you lose track of that. Whenever you fall off it quotes some self-help talk at you in this condescending "failure is good for you"-way in order to annoy you. At one point Bennett Foddy can straight up say "this section tends to get harder as you play, I assume cause being angry makes you swing the hammer harder." The whole game is designed to make you angry and then talk down to you about it like a stern parent.

[@robinlarin69]

Yeah Joseph actually liked it too

[@kittencorp.3295]

Its actually a lot more frustrating to watch, because it seems like nobody who plays it has a basic understanding of physics, especially newton’s third law

[@colbyboucher6391]

Every streamer that plays it immediately starts flailing their mouse around and never seems to make any attempt to understand what's going on. It's as if they're just neural networks learning through failure and reward, head empty, no thoughts. Actually I have to imagine they're intentionally launching themselves off of cliffs at Mach 2 for the sake of the joke.

[@lukedufaur5368]

It's kind of funny having the first 11 hours of the game being a horrific struggle, and once you've climbed the mountain once and try to climb it again it's all so easy and you can do it in an hour.

[@PointsofData]

Yeah cause you've spent 11 hours developing the muscle memory

[@justalowlife]

16:00 you can see the exact problem with movement here. He keeps moving his mouse in a way that makes it clear he is look at the body not the hammer. As a result when he wants to move left he just moves his mouse left instead of flicking it right.

[@AexisRai]

his understanding is very mistaken in a way I could not imagine. you don't do 14:00 if you understand that you are controlling the movement of the hammer and not the pot. you ought to make this connection from the moment it starts regardless of what year you play it in, because nothing about the feedback you are experiencing implies otherwise. he is just not good at learning this.

[@Willowo98]

see, much like the frustration of the game, Joseph allows us to experience the frustration of watching him self destruct a million times because he keeps fucking throwing his mouse when sitting in precarious spots

[@GothicEU]

Good stuff man, great video

[@voidtv8401]

I don’t think I need to play it, and I probably will anyways, but I get it. It’s about not letting the fall get to you. Being angry just makes you fall more; but getting over it lets you succeed. Also, it’s the violent motions, you swing way too fast my boy.

[@sunkilmoonfan]

If Joe played this today you know chat would 100% make an Oar-chan

[@inybisinsulate]

I knew this's happen to me, disabled all the sounds wish the music wasn't linked to his snide remarks. Unprepared it is quite important to learn how not to push yourself off every chance you get, one thing KZbin doesn't convey is the hammer follows the momentum downwards which makes rescue on falling impossible to prevent till you stop then on stoppin the hammer centers again and you can control it fully once more making these twitch reactions not easy to figure out. Took me 110 minutes to win it was quite an experiece.

[@mixednarwhal]

14:07 what did he even do for that movement to be an accident?

[@AexisRai]

He moved his mouse right because he wanted to go right. No, seriously. To somebody who understands how to play the game this sounds r-wordedly bad, but you can see more bizarre failed movement attempts and his resulting confusion happen in a bunch of places. See 6:39 and 16:00. It's the only explanation. Despite the fact that the hammer obviously follows the mouse while the pot doesn't, which is established in the first moment of the game, Joseph is still not actually thinking about how he should move the mouse to control the hammer to indirectly move the pot (which is how the game works); he just wants it to work in a way where he moves the pot directly. He isn't good at learning how the game works and adjusting his model.
