Supernova Studios has launched the co op survival game Funnel Runners into Early Access on Steam. A group of up to eight players attempts to repair a van and escape an American suburb before a tornado engulfs them. The concept sounds simple, but behind it lies a tight survival mechanic with increasing pressure from the elements. The developers deliberately position the game as a survival horror rather than a pure co-op puzzle game. The tornado here is not a background threat or decoration, but a living pursuer with its own dynamics. It moves across the map, intensifies over time, and can split into two: at some point, a single vortex becomes insufficient. This fundamentally changes the pace the team is forced to constantly monitor the position of the elements, rather than simply methodically collect parts
