To preface, I think this is a really great game that encourages lots of communication and cooperative play, which I feel is still sorely lacking. The concept is excellent, the flow is very good, and even though I feel like the standard difficulty should probably be tuned down a little bit, overall I have very few complaints, especially knowing there are active updates in works and it's still very early in the game's life cycle. I love playing, it's truly great!
But for the love of god, if you are changing a tire during the final siren portion, you should not be able to get pulled away by the F5.
You are holding onto a tire and wrench, only having a tire physically at the van as your last win condition right at the end but being almost 99.99% guaranteed to lose kills all of the excitement of a possible clutch win. It is far and away the worst part of what is otherwise a very fun and exciting game. Our main play group usually averages 5 or 6 players and we already lose more rounds than we win, it's hard enough as it is without a tire being a full failure condition so often.
I'm sure the design mentality right now is that the slow pull is perilous and you wouldn't want to have such a direct safety net as just holding on, but in our experience so far, if the final requirement is even just a single tire and someone is on their way back with it and the siren sounds, we've lost the round. This is truly the one balance suggestion I would make right now. Even if the second you change the tire during the siren phase and you instantly get sucked into the air, if your team is ready and start the van, that would be a hero's death, whereas right now we all just know we need to accept a loss, which just doesn't feel any good.
Sincerely though, aside from that, this has been such a consistently fun game. I truly cannot wait to see what else the dev team adds in over time!
