Hey Runners! 👋
Hope you guys are doing well.
First devlog since launch huh? This one is a dousie! We are thrilled to break down a brand-new feature, designed as a proper badge of honor for our dedicated employees: The Statistics System!
Beyond outrunning tornados, fixing the van, and leveling up your profile, we know how satisfying it is to look back at everything you’ve survived (or barely survived) during your time in the storm. Whether it’s counting your miraculous revives or keeping track of how many times you’ve been electrocuted by a live wire, your legacy matters!
Are you new around here? Don’t worry, quick recap: In Funnel Runners, you have ~20 minutes to loot the city, fix the van, and escape before the EF5 reaches you. You can do it solo, but it’s made for co-op chaos with friends.

We designed this system to be a purely informative, non-intrusive way to celebrate your playtime and milestone records:
Steam Cloud Integration: Every single time a statistic updates, it syncs directly to your Steam Cloud save so you never lose your progress.
Cumulative Tracking: All stats carry over between runs. Every storm you experience adds to your lifetime career totals.
Real-Time Live Tracking: Progress counts the exact millisecond an action happens in-game! You don’t even need to survive or finish the match to have your stats recorded.
Player-Centered: Every stat is tied directly to your personal actions and hazards faced, keeping your scoreboard unique to you.
Since this is a brand-new system being introduced to the game, all initial statistic values will start at zero. Any progress, wins, or actions performed before this update will unfortunately not count toward your stats, giving everyone a fresh, clean slate to start tracking their career from this point forward!
Here is a peek at the full list of player metrics you can track straight from the Locker:
Game Time: Total time spent inside active matches.
Storms Experienced: Total matches played, win or lose.
Escaped the Storm: Total successful matches.
Lost in the Storm: Total lost matches.
Fastest Escape: Your personal record for the quickest win time.

Tornado Encounters: Times you’ve been claimed specifically by a Tornado.

Time Spent in Acid: Total damage interval time accumulated inside Acid storms.
Time Spent in Hail: Total damage interval time accumulated inside Hail storms.
Repair Minigames Succeeded / Failed: Tracking your clutch (or disastrous) van repair moments.
Items Collected: Counts the first time you pick up items spawned around the city.
Tokens Collected & Spent: Tracks your individual economy, from tokens looted to tokens spent at vending machines.
Collectables Recovered: Total items deposited into the Storage Box.
Distance Walked: Total distance covered on foot across all maps.
Doors Unbarred: Total times you've unlocked or broken down doors.

This feature is just a small peek into what is comming in the next update, and a reminder that we are actively working to make the game better for you guys! Before I go... quick question for you guys:
Any statistics you feel like should be included in the future? Let us know!
Grab your walkie-talkies, patch up the van, and watch out for that lightning.
The storm is officially here. See you in the funnel! 🌪️
