Help save the beautiful, ecologically sustainable world of Funtasia and its furry inhabitants from certain death beneath tons of garbage dumped on it from space by defeating the garbage monster at the end of the track. Simple to pick up and play, yet challenging to truly master, Funtasia is all about timing and balance. The race track ripples, with hills, pits, bridges, quicksand, cliffs, and caves separating you from the finish line. Reaching the finish line requires balancing gas, brakes, and the car itself, just right (drivers do not enjoy meeting hard surfaces face-first at a hundred KPH, nor do doctors recommend it). Oh, and keep in mind that there's no stopping, there's only going really, really fast. Breaks are for cowards. The car's battery isn't known for its lifespan! FEATURES - Save Funtasia, a paradise full of furry animals, from an apocalyptic wave of garbage by driving really, really fast over 10 fantastical tracks. - Master 40 different cars, with their own performance, challenges, and idiosyncrasies! - Survive boss fights with foes equal parts twisted and dastardly. - Brave the Furry Road all alone or as a duo with Cooperative or Challenge modes. - Challenge players across the world in online leaderboards to claim the top spot in going fast - Experience a fanciful art style by Italian artist Emanuele Olives drawing inspirations from Heinz Edelmenn’s work on Adventure Time, and Troma.

Essentially it’s a premium hill climber with a fantastic psychedelic aesthetic. Great controls, varied collection of cars and environments and I haven’t put it down for the last hour or so. Pretty standard gameplay loop so far - collect currency, upgrade car, go further - but really well done. Very much recommended from me especially if you like a good hill climber style game. adin, new_ipodtouch5G_owner and Anotherkellydown like this. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #3 orangecan, Oct 26, 2023 Ok and a follow up. I’ve just reopened it and none of my progress has been saved! orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #4 orangecan, Oct 26, 2023 And I’ve now looked about, tried everywhere and I’m not missing any save button or anything that I can find. Started and restarted a few times but progress is reset every time. Really pssed off - I was having so much fun with it - have sent a mail to the only address I could find for Freedom games so fingers crossed someone picks up on it ironsam80 Well-Known Member Dec 14, 2010 1,151 34 48 #5 ironsam80, Oct 26, 2023 This is happening to me too... really love the game but i am waiting all day a fix... orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #6 orangecan, Oct 27, 2023 Yeah you would hope they’ve realised/they get some feedback and sort in quickly orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #7 orangecan, Oct 29, 2023 Still got the issue - dropped them a Facebook message as now, might have more luck. Cinot Well-Known Member Jun 19, 2016 61 12 8 #8 Cinot, Oct 31, 2023 Same issue here. I wrote a feedback but since now I received no response and no update to fix this problem. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #9 ste86uk, Oct 31, 2023 This does look interesting but I think I’ll wait until you all say it’s fixed with so many saying about issues. adin and elcrazy like this. new_ipodtouch5G_owner Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2015 386 46 28 Canada #10 new_ipodtouch5G_owner, Nov 1, 2023 Has anyone had any luck contacting the developer(s)? I tried a few emails to the only email on their website, but have had no response. I really do like the bizarre Rat Fink(ish) art style of Funtasia and I did enjoy the game-play for one round. But is extremely frustrating NOT being able to continue this game until a emergency fix can be released. elcrazy likes this.

I gushed about it before I realised the one major problem too. I’ve mailed and messaged, sending them a link to this thread - and written a bad review for the English store explaining the problem - although oddly it hasn’t appeared yet and there’s just one 4* rating on there?!

For whatever reason(s) I have still not received a reply since October 26th and I have tried 3 different email accounts. Today, I did do a few runs on some of the other maps and I really like the different environments and the odd vehicles and also the various bosses you have to defeat all which are very unique.

Cinot Well-Known Member Jun 19, 2016 61 12 8 #16 Cinot, Nov 3, 2023 I saw on steam that it has also a bug with some achievements. The devs knew about the problem more then a year ago and didn‘t fix it since then ( last review was 11 octobre 2023 ). So I‘m not very optimistic that they will fix the „save progress“ problem soon. But i hope that I‘m wrong and they are working on it… For now, I have also deleted the game. new_ipodtouch5G_owner likes this. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #17 orangecan, Nov 3, 2023 Surely they can’t ignore a bug that essentially makes the game unplayable can they?
