Stuck and constantly respawning on ice cliffs in Getting Over Snow? Check out this detailed guide on hammer angles, Pogo jumping techniques, and tips to overcome slippery snow and ice and complete the game!
If Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy had the "Devil's Bottom" cliff that made millions of gamers scream in terror, then in the winter version of Getting Over Snow, the Ice Cliff is the biggest nightmare.
Unlike the artificial rocks or obstacles at the foot of the mountain, the ice cliff possesses two extremely frustrating characteristics:
To overcome this challenge, you can't just "throw the hammer randomly" relying on luck; you must understand the game's physics-based mechanics.
To conquer this ice mountain, apply these 3 core techniques:
The ice cliff surface is very slippery, but the developers always leave a few small ridges, protruding rock formations not completely covered in ice, or cracks.
SEO Tip: Before swinging the hammer, pause for 2 seconds to observe. Don't try to hammer into flat ice surfaces. Aim the hammer head at right angles or darker areas (bare rocks).
In the original Getting Over It, you could hold the hammer to keep your character swinging. But in Getting Over Snow, holding the hammer on the ice surface will cause you to slide down faster due to the reverse inertia.
How to do it: Move the mouse in a small arc, performing short, quick, and decisive hammer strikes. As soon as the hammer head hits the fulcrum, gently push the mouse to move the character up a short distance, then immediately change the hammer's position.
This is an advanced technique you must know if you want to cross the ice cliff. Instead of a grappling hook, you will use the hammer to push.
How to do it: Place the hammer head perpendicularly directly below the character's sledgehammer. Perform a strong downward mouse swipe to create thrust (like a pogo jump stick). The recoil will launch your character high into the air, over sections of ice cliffs without handholds.
