Unique and clever core mechanic based on fall damage that refreshes the platforming experience.
Excellent level design with smart puzzles, tight controls, and smooth gameplay flow.
Charming pixel art, atmospheric music, and a compelling, albeit subtle, narrative world.

Some players experienced difficulty spikes towards the end, especially the final boss and auto-scroller segments.
The overall progression and relationship between levels can feel fragmented and a bit sketchy.
Collectible hunting lacks guidance, which can lead to repetitive replaying and occasional softlocks.

The gameplay centers on a unique and clever core mechanic that offers fresh, engaging puzzle-platforming experiences with well-designed levels and smooth progression.

Overall, it provides a tight, satisfying experience suitable for both beginners and veterans.
- “Fowl damage is a precision, puzzle platformer with a great central mechanic and some of the best platforming level design I have seen in years!”
- “The levels do an incredible job of wordlessly teaching the player how its various mechanics work, slowly layering new challenges on top of each other until you are effortlessly able to read what jumps are possible with a quick glance at the screen.”
- “This idea is beautifully explored through hundreds of puzzles and many hidden secrets that had me constantly thinking of new ways to execute and combine the game's mechanics to get to places I never thought possible.”
- “There were a couple interesting or fun puzzles/platforming challenges when it came to collecting feathers but even then, with so few mechanics it did end up becoming a bit repetitive, and the lack of information sometimes would lead to having to reset because you just lacked information on where and how to traverse.”
- “Now at first glance you might think this is just your usual platforming trope, but the problem came from the main mechanic of you being an egg combined with the horrible camera.”
- “But I cannot fully recommend this game because, well, the gameplay in certain parts.”
