Funnel

Circle the rim of a geometric tube, blast the enemies clawing up the lanes, and hold back a rising flood.

How to play

You skim around the rim of a segmented tube, firing down its lanes at enemies that climb toward your edge. There's a twist: the tube is flooding from below. Every kill drains the fluid a notch, but every enemy that reaches the rim raises it — and if the surface touches your rim, you drown. Keep clearing to stay above water.

• Move around the rim to line your gun up with each lane.
• Fire down the lanes; enemies that sink below the waterline turn faster and harder to see, and your shots drag through the fluid.
• Drain the flood by killing enemies — let them reach the top and it rises.

Controls

• Desktop: Left/Right or A/D to move around the rim, Space to fire, Z or Shift to clear.
• Phone & tablet: tap the left or right half to move and tap to fire — touch supported.

Tips & strategy

• Prioritize enemies nearest the rim — each one that escapes raises the deadly flood.
• Keep circling so you can answer threats on every lane, not just one side.
• Save your clear move for when several lanes fill at once or the water gets high.

Origins

Funnel draws on the tube shooter of the early 80s — ride the rim of a geometric well and fire down its lanes at enemies climbing toward you, with a screen-clearing zap held in reserve. Its glowing vector tunnels were unlike anything else in the arcade.
