All that we want for Bennett Foddy REMAKE!
1. STORY, STORY, STORY!
Ofc, it dont have to be story worthy of Shakespeare, anything that will tell me why Im busting my ass on this mountains will suffice! Klischees are welcome and desirable!
For example: Evil witch shopcoholik that lives on top of mountain, kidnapped Foddy and his girlfriend ok day of their wedding. She stuck Foddy in pot to cook him and eat, and tied girlfriend on top of house. Foddy grabs hammer when witch dont look, and bust his way out of window, and starts his revenge adventure from bottom. Ofc, that pot is magical, so it cannot be broken.
Another story feature could be: you must pickup your gf accessories that are stuck all around mountain, and story could have 3 different endings depending how much of those you collected on way up (scarf, necklace, purse, etc)
2.Challenges.
When I first saw game, I thought it will be made of levels and challenges, but it turned out that its just one giant mountain. We need something to break time scores, with moving gears, earthquakes, things falling on your head, etc, without fear that we will ruin 2 hour progress in one click.
3. Easy mode!
Simple, checkpoints, and less slippery hammer
Thats all I got, be free people to add more on wishlist!

Story? I love the story as it is! It's perfect!

Man on shore of lake emerges from cauldron, picks up hammer, and proceeds on a long, arduous, and mysterious journey to GET OVER IT!

The beauty is in the simplicity. Very zen.

You can't "remake" this game.

What makes Foddy's tasty slice of evil genius special is the meta. The trolling BEHIND the game. A remake or a sequel will merely be more of the same. Won't have the same magic.

The only thing that could be done with this game would be a workshop or whatever other method to add other mountains to climb. That's all.

there is no "story", as your journey is the story. is it a story of a person who tried and tried so hard and finally made it to the end or a story of someone who tried and tried and gave up - failure
or a story of trying and trying, taking a break, then trying again and finishing?
Well I disagree with all three of your points. As Lar said, your journey is the story. For your second point, this game requires precise physics and control. Things falling on your head would add randomness and remove control from the player. Your third point is a definite no. The entire purpose of this game is to be a rage game.

Disagree there. For me, the purpose is a "get up the mountain" game.

This game doesn't anger me. At all. Because I was there when video games were invented. Pac-Man, Asteroids, Space Invaders. None of those games had a save feature, or checkpoints, or the option to continue. When you died, that was The End. And you had to start all over again.

The concept of falling all the way back to the start is not new to me. New to a lot of you folks, maybe. Y'all are spoiled.

Plenty of assumptions in your post ;) It's all good though.

It can be a get up the mountain game, a rage game AND a game that doesn't make you in particular angry all at the same time.
