Climb Over It

Climb Over It gives you one tool, a hammer, and one method of movement, swinging it against the terrain to lever your cauldron-bound body upward. There's no jump button and no safety net: a single mistimed swing near the top of a climb can send you sliding back to where you started several minutes ago.

Small, controlled swings tend to hold position more reliably than big committed ones, which look impressive but overcorrect and knock you off balance on steep terrain. The psychological trick the game is playing is as real as the physics one, staying calm after a bad fall matters more than technique, since frustration tends to produce the same rushed, oversized swings that caused the fall in the first place. Getting Over It is the game that popularized this exact hammer-and-pot climbing format if you want the original version of the same punishing physics.
