    What a fun puzzle platformer in which you play as this fragile egg. Find ways to navigate through the world without breaking and maybe pick up some feathers along the way. It has no missable achievements.

    Approximate amount of time to 100%: It took me 6 hours, but if you're good at platformers it might be under 4 hours.
    Estimated achievement difficulty: 4/10
    Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1
    Is there a good guide available: You don't really need a guide, but this YouTuber has a nice playthrough if you're stuck somewhere. And I made 2 videos for specific achievements
    Multiplayer achievements: No
    Missable achievements: No
    Grinding Achievements: No
    DLC-Only achievements: No
    Speedrun achievements: No
    Time-gated achievements: No
    RNG-achievements: No
    Does difficulty affect achievements: No difficulty option
    Unobtainable/glitched achievements: No

    Fowl Damage has some aspects that looked scary to me from the outside: Puzzle (+ Precision) platforming, instant death, and no difficulty options. Gladly it also has no speedrun achievements and you can die however many times and still unlock everything. The worst that happens upon death is that you respawn at the start of that screen. Most of the time the screens are short so that you won't lose much progress and the respawn is almost instantly. This helps so much with just keep going until you get to the next screen, even when it gets challenging.

    I'm impressed with how much fun this game is. It looks simple but it will give you a challenge while still doable and being an egg makes sense for not being very durable. They did a great job with balancing the difficulty which makes Fowl Damage a nice entry for those who aren't into puzzle platformers/precision platformers. And I love that they added a face to the egg, just to give it more personality. (+ an encounter late in the game also added some extra personality)

    None of the achievements are missable in Fowl Damage and most of them are for beating the game. There is a warp option if you want to go back to an earlier part or get stuck in an area. You also don't have to find all the feathers. You have to find all the pink feathers in one area (which I did in the first area, which seems the easiest), get 50 pink feathers in total, and find 5 green feathers. There is an achievement for finishing 5 screens while crouching and one for going fast. Check out my Youtube videos if you're struggling with those.

    I give Fowl Damage 4 out of 5 stars.
