Our take on Fowl Damage
The store presentation gives substantial attention to the level editor, sharing tools, and community browsing. The campaign itself is presented through a shorter outline of its environments and fall-based mechanics, so the product's appeal is tied to both authored and user-created content.
What is Fowl Damage?
Fowl Damage is an atmospheric puzzle-platformer centered on hazardous movement: even a standard leap can make a landing lethal.
One-button controls govern journeys through a factory, riverbed, ancient woodland, and ooze-filled cavern while seeking shelter for a delicate companion. Ramps transform downward momentum into bursts of speed, and bubbles can either suspend the character or propel them onward. Each region hides warp routes, while boss encounters mix platforming with puzzles. A built-in editor provides almost all of the main adventure’s mechanics for custom-stage creation. Levels can be distributed directly or via Steam Workshop, and community creations can be filtered by challenge, viewed from the top-rated selection, or assigned randomly.
How Fowl Damage plays
- 01Fall-based platforming
- Players must carefully manage jumps and falls because the default jump can produce enough fall damage to destroy the character.
- 02Movement interactions
- Ramps convert falls into speed boosts, while bubbles can catch or launch the character.
- 03Multi-area adventure
- The journey passes through a factory, riverbed, ancient forest, and slimy cave.
- 04Community level editor
- Custom stages can be created with practically all of the tools and tricks used in the main game.
- 05Shared user levels
- Players can share stages manually or through Steam Workshop and browse community creations by challenge level, rating, or random selection.
