Fix up your van with a bunch of your best pals and escape an onslaught of tornados in survival co-op game Funnel Runners



Outside of the entirety of the ocean, the thing that probably scares me most about the things the world produces are natural disasters. You’re telling me that sometimes the wind gets so fast it can pick up a dang cow? I’m smaller than a cow! I’d have no chance. And it’s this fear that I, and I assume many of you, have that sits at the core of Funnel Runners, an online co-op game where you have to fix up a fan to escape a massive tornado.


Here’s how Funnel Runners works. You find yourself in your average American suburb, with you and up to apparently seven of your friends facing off against a tornado. The devs have previously framed the game as one akin to survival horror, said tornado acting as the evil critter/beastie/figure hunting you down. Fun way of viewing such a thing! The whole goal is exploring the aforementioned city to find all of the prerequisite parts needed to repair your van so you can escape before the tornado gets too intense.

That means finding things like spare tires, oil for your engine, that sort of thing. You have a few tools at your disposal to help you get to the point of full repair too, with small things such as a flashlight for dimly lit buildings, or a radar to track where the tornado (or tornados, as they can multiply) is on the map, or a defibrillator to bring back one of your pals that’s about to bite the proverbial bucket. There’s a lot to manage, and you’re at risk from things like lightning and fire too, not even considering the fact that seemingly entire hurricanes can form.


According to Supernova Studios, the game is technically done and fully playable, opting for an early access release in order to let those that play the game to help shape what’s to come. There are plans for new areas, weather events, hazards, mission types, and more complex progression, with the current plan being that the game will be in early access for about a year. If any of this tickles your fancy, you can pick up the game on Steam now.
