About Get On Top

Get On Top is a minimalist, physics-based wrestling game that pits two ragdoll fighters against each in a chaotic battle of balance and momentum. Created by renowned indie developer Bennett Foddy, the game challenges you to push, pull, and jump to force your opponent's head to hit the ground while keeping your own head high. Matches are fast and unpredictable, often devolving into floppy struggles where the slightest shift in weight determines the victor.

The game is designed for local multiplayer, making it a perfect choice for quick, competitive face-offs on a single keyboard. Because there are no complex move combos, success relies entirely on your understanding of physics and your ability to exploit your opponent's momentum. The first player to reach 11 points wins the match, ensuring that every round feels tense, funny, and satisfying.

Controls

Two players share a single keyboard using the following control schemes:

  • Player 1 (Left Fighter):
    • W: Jump up
    • A: Lean left
    • S: Crouch / pull down
    • D: Lean right
  • Player 2 (Right Fighter):
    • Up Arrow: Jump up
    • Left Arrow: Lean left
    • Down Arrow: Crouch / pull down
    • Right Arrow: Lean right

Tips

  • Exploit Momentum: Do not just hold down the keys. Instead, wait for your opponent to jump or lean too far, then shift your weight in the opposite direction to drag them down.
  • Crouch for Stability: Use the crouch key (S or Down Arrow) to lower your center of gravity when your opponent is trying to push you over. It makes you harder to flip.
  • Time Your Jumps: Jumping at the right moment can help you leap over your opponent's head and use gravity to pull them down, but a missed jump leaves you highly vulnerable.
