It’s no secret that Maximilian “HandOfBlood” Knabe is always creatively and passionately dedicated to his videos. This time, the YouTuber took on a crazy challenge in the action platformer “Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.”
Who is the YouTuber? HandOfBlood, also known by friends and the community as Hänno, is one of the 9 largest German gaming YouTubers on the platform.
In his videos, he adopts the wildest roles and costumes, always fitting the respective games. Additionally, he founded an esports team for the MOBA League of Legends: Eintracht Spandau.
At first, the team faced ridicule and mockery, but they then showed themselves to be quite dominant. If you want to learn more about the YouTuber’s LoL team, you can do so in our video:
HandOfBlood plays Getting Over It in a new way
What kind of game is Getting Over It? In the platformer, you play as the naked man named Diogenes. He sits in a cauldron and can only move in Getting Over It using a hammer. Your goal is to overcome all obstacles and reach the end.
What did HandOfBlood do? Hänno showed up this time in his prime: clad only in shorts, he climbed into a cauldron, covered his hair, and his colleague handed him a rubber hammer.
The rubber hammer also had sensors attached, which ensured that the character in the game made similar movements to those that Hänno indicated – the YouTuber basically became Diogenes. A unique challenge that resonated well with viewers.
