Supernova Studios released their debut game, Funnel Runners, on Steam on July 17, 2026. The title is a first-person survival escape game that supports solo play and online co-op for up to eight players. Players are placed in a city threatened by an F5-class tornado and must explore randomly generated areas to collect vehicle parts, fuel, and tools, then repair a van and escape before the map is destroyed. The tornado and storms grow in strength over time, and items cannot be obtained from collapsed areas. Dynamic weather includes lightning, acid rain, hail, and fires. Player communication uses proximity voice chat and a transceiver.
Shortly after launch, the game reached 5,476 concurrent players on Steam. User reviews are 'Very Positive,' with 84% of 207 reviews positive at the time of one report. The game had accumulated over 170,000 Steam wishlist registrations ahead of its release. The early access price is 1,500 yen, with a 10% launch discount available until July 24. The game currently does not support Japanese language.
Supernova Studios plans a one-year early access period during which they will add new biomes, weather types, modes, and gadgets. No paid DLC will be released during early access.
