Get On Top
Overview of the gameplay of Get On Top
Bennett Foddy, the developer of games like QWOP and Getting Over It, made the oddball, minimalist two-player fighting game Get On Top. In this game, two blocky figures fight to "get on top" of one another, simplifying combat to its most basic form and emphasizing reflexes, momentum, and chaotic physics.
Simple Controls, Intense Action
Only four directional keys—one for each direction—are required to control a character. While Player 2 typically uses the arrow keys, Player 1 typically uses the W, A, S, and D keys. You will win if you can get your opponent's head to touch the ground before you do.
Physics-Based Combat
The game uses ragdoll physics, which means that characters move and collide in ways that are funny but not always predictable. To flip their opponent over or drag them down to the floor, players need to know how to use momentum, timing, and positioning.
