Rage games seemingly became popular because people enjoyed watching others get angry over silly-looking games that at times are pretty basic in appearance. The original Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy spread like wildfire across the internet as everyone and their neighbor's cat played it. It seems interesting that this version appeared as a distilled and more cartoon experience but without losing any of the potential rage that it can cause. The reason you want to beat it is because you want that feeling of satisfaction, that empowering of having conquered something seemingly impossible.
