What is Funnel Runners?
Funnel Runners is a first-person co-op survival game developed by Supernova Studios LLC and built in Unreal Engine 5. You play as a contractor for APEX Storm Monitoring Services, deployed into a doomed city with an F5 tornado approaching. Your mission: scavenge vehicle parts, fuel, and tools to repair your escape van before total destruction.
Weather as the Enemy
15 weather variations and dynamic F5 tornados that grow stronger over time. The storm itself is your primary antagonist — learn to read it or be consumed.
Real-Time Destruction
Buildings collapse piece by piece, permanently burying loot in destroyed zones. The city transforms around you as the storm intensifies.
Van Repair Core Loop
Find 6 repair parts, fuel, and tools in randomized locations. Fix mechanical issues, fuel up, and escape before the funnel reaches your position.
1-8 Player Co-op
Team up or go solo. Dynamic difficulty scales with player count. Share gadgets, split routes, and coordinate under extreme time pressure.
The game features dynamic weather systems with 15 variations, real-time environmental destruction where buildings collapse piece by piece, and randomized elements including city layouts, item spawns, and vehicle mechanical issues. No two playthroughs are the same. You have roughly 20 minutes per run to loot, repair, and escape — or be swept away forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Funnel Runners?+
Funnel Runners is a first-person co-op survival game where 1-8 players scavenge parts, repair a van, and escape an F5 tornado. Developed by Supernova Studios LLC on Unreal Engine 5, it launched in Early Access on Steam July 16, 2026 for $14.99.
How long is each run?+
Each run lasts approximately 20 minutes. You must loot vehicle parts, fuel, and tools, then repair and escape before the tornado destroys the entire city. Time management is critical.
Can you play Funnel Runners solo?+
Yes, the developer confirms solo play is possible but calls it the ultimate survival challenge. All objectives must be completed alone — scavenge, repair, and escape without any team support. Manual difficulty settings are planned post-launch.
How many players can play co-op?+
Funnel Runners supports 1-8 players in online co-op. Difficulty automatically scales based on player count, not level. More players means more ground to cover but also tougher challenges.
Do skins affect gameplay?+
Yes. Unlike most games, skins in Funnel Runners have different attributes that can affect gameplay. This hybrid system means your cosmetic choices also have mechanical impact on your performance.
How does the weather system work?+
Funnel Runners features 15 weather variations including rain, hail, lightning, wind gusts, and fire events. The tornado grows from F1 to F5 intensity over time, destroying buildings in its path. Weather is designed as the primary antagonist of the game.
How many van parts do I need to find?+
You need to find 6 van repair parts, plus fuel and tools. Parts spawn in randomized locations across the city, and vehicle mechanical issues like flat tires or dead battery change every run due to RNG.
What happens when buildings collapse?+
Buildings collapse piece by piece in real-time. Items in destroyed zones are permanently buried and inaccessible. This means you must loot high-priority areas early before the tornado reaches them.
How does the progression system work?+
You earn XP based on your end-of-run performance grade. Progression unlocks skins, titles, 100+ lore archives, and 40+ achievements. There is no global leaderboard — progression is personal.
What future content is planned?+
The Early Access roadmap includes 3-4 new biomes (Great Plains, High Sierras, Desert), new game modes, expanded gadget roster, death cinematics, quests, and community-requested features like night mode and manual difficulty.
