Get On Top

About This Game

Get On Top, created by Bennett Foddy, is a wildly entertaining two-player wrestling game that brings sibling-style roughhousing to your screen. In this action-packed title, two stickman robots, tethered by their hands, duke it out in a virtual ring, each trying to flip the other’s head to the ground to score points. The game’s ragdoll physics create hilarious and unpredictable movements, making every match a laugh-out-loud challenge. You can play solo against an AI or grab a friend for local multiplayer on the same device, perfect for settling friendly rivalries. With 12 levels of increasing intensity, simple controls, and a retro aesthetic, Get On Top is ideal for kids, teens, and casual gamers who love fast-paced, competitive fun. Whether you’re strategizing to outmaneuver your opponent or just flailing for victory, this game keeps you hooked with its chaotic charm.

How to Play

Playing Get On Top is easy to pick up but tough to master, thanks to its physics-based mechanics. Here’s how it works:

• Control Your Stickman: Use movement keys to shift your character’s weight backward, forward, or upward, aiming to flip your opponent.
• Flip to Win: The goal is to make your opponent’s head hit the ground first to score a point. The first player to reach 11 points (or 5 in some versions) wins the match.
• Single or Two-Player Mode: Play against an AI in single-player mode or challenge a friend in two-player mode on the same device.
• Strategic Movement: Move wisely to avoid being flipped. Aggressive moves without a plan may lead to your own downfall. Use jumps and body shifts to gain the upper hand.
• Retry Rounds: If your head hits the ground, you lose the round, but you can retry instantly. Complete 12 levels or win the match to claim victory. There’s no time limit, so you can focus on timing and strategy. The game’s wobbly physics add unpredictability, requiring quick reflexes and clever tactics.
