Funnel Runners is a great simple-yet-fulfilling coop-oriented game with a high level of trills and enough replayability to make you put quite a bit of time into the game.
Note that as I write this review, the game is still in Early Access and there's quite a few things that feels a bit wrong, but they are not game breaking. For example, you cannot easily and efficiently identify each player you play with because while the game gives each player an uniform with a number on it, that number changes after EACH loading (except for the host who's always number 1). So you might join and be number 4 while in the HUB, then as the game start, you're suddenly number 6 or 7. (From what I could get numbers are attributed by who's connecting first into the game, hence the inconsistency.)
Another is the risks of a single person (a troll to put it simple) to destroy a game by a single act. During each match, one of the "safe zones" is the van which is located in the middle of the map (where everyone starts). To make that van safe for everyone inside, you need to close the van's door, but at the moment, there's no way to stop anyone from just pressing the button and have those door opened right away, killing everyone in said van except maybe one player who might be sitting in the driver seat. There's also the risk of someone bringing tools outside and "being thrown" away though that one might be less of a problem.
There are clearly some balance required too. Right now, hails and acid rains make certain situation simply impossible because players don't have enough stamina nor HP to survive more than 1 or, maybe, 2 trips without an umbrella and there might be no way of healing yourself because the van often start without power and requires someone to replace parts outside (which might require a toolbox that can spawn anywhere outside and in garages and stores). Some times, I was with 2 or 3 other people with no HP left stuck in the van because nobody had any umbrella and we were wasting precious time waiting for the rain to pass (if it ever pass) in a game where you got a REALLY limited amount of time to find everything while mother nature throws at you dozen of things that can kill you right away.
Still, the fun factor is higher than everything else.
As long as you have someone to play with, this game is really fun.
