Fowl Damage Reviews

This is one of those puzzle games that makes you feel like you’re accessing a part of your brain you didn’t know existed. But really, it’s just about learning your abilities and limitations, and applying that to new obstacles and more complex challenges. Progression is rarely a straight line. That’s the brilliance of Fowl Damage’s level designs. The more you play the more you start to recognize which platforms are high enough to reach safely and which are low enough to fall to without breaking. Even after breaking a dozen eggs I still found myself smiling from ear to ear as I tried to figure out the key to progressing through each level. Fowl Damage can be completed in around 3 hours, so don’t be intimidated that you might be stuck as an egg for too long. The game provides a wonderful experience, and doesn’t overstay its welcome. But that doesn’t mean you can’t replay levels and try to beat your best times, or least amount of cracks. I shudder at the thought of trying to beat this game without breaking a single egg, but I'm sure someone could pull it off. There's also a level editor that I haven’t explored yet, but sounds like it could be a great way to continue finding new levels to try, if that’s something you’re after. Fowl Damage is maybe one of, if not the most, criminally underrated games on Steam. If you're not convinced, just try the demo. That demo will do more convincing than I ever could.

Probably the best platformer I played in the past year, and probably even longer. I came to platformers through Celeste, and Fowl Damage perfectly scratches the itch of games in this style, while doing it in its own, original way. Momentum is here means for self-destruction, but in places it's also required - while most levels are relatively steady-paced, there are some that require faster reflexes. Puzzles are not overly difficult but fun, and fro completing the game once I see several places where I could have gone differently (also shown by my number of feathers). I had an amazing time with Fowl Damage and will surely want to return to it!
