    Hey guys! While we have quite a few big things coming soon, one of them is the Highscore Screen that has been on the menu for a while. The Highscore screen has quite a few uses; while the front page displays your best score, there is a tab that displays a bunch of stats on your gameplay (I'm a big sucker for keeping track of random stats)

    The problem is that we have a bunch of space on the screen, but not enough records! We want to know, from you guys, what kinds of stats would you like to keep track of? As reference, we currently have:

    • Everything from the post-game screen when you die
    • Runs per character
    • Total Time Played
    • Total Deaths
    • Total Monster Kills
    • Total Boss Kills
    • Total Gold Collected
    • Highest Level
    • Longest Game Played
    • Most stages beaten in a row
    • Fastest boss kill
    • Highest damage dealt
    • Longest win streak on shrines
    • Longest loss streak on shrines
    • Highest drone count
    • Largest multi-kill
    • Most Items Collected
    • Highest item stack
    Have any suggestions for new ones? Want to remove any of these? Leave your feedback here guys!

      I feel like there should be some kind of shame-stat in true roguelike fashion. Something along the lines of shortest run, except that shortest run doesn't really tell you anything because as soon as you do something dumb and die early one time that will never change to any meaningful extent. I dunno, I'll try to think of something along those lines that actually is funny or interesting, and more ideas from other people would also be awesome. On a more general note, maybe total items that were generated but not collected, or possibly secret areas/items found in a single run or overall.

        Fastest health regen at any given point would be an interesting one, number of times you were extremely close to death (<5% of your health and survived), and favourite + if possible least favourite use item. However, something tells that last one will ALWAYS be lost doll. Just sayin. Oh, and as you have amount of times you used a character, perhaps favourite and least favourite characters?
        Anyways, nice to see devs including the community in the shaping of the game. Not saying you guys haven't before, but seeing something like this always gives me a warm fuzzy "I'm making a difference!" feeling.

          A most/least used item would be neat, Best time/score with each class, maybe total damage dealt? I like random stats as well. :)

          Also when you get mutators working, there's another opportunity.

            total amount of times jumped and amount of attacks dodged would be quite the fun number to see

              First of all: nice addition!
              Second: I think it would be funny to see how many times you got killed by a certain monster / boss, so you can see who is your archenemy :p

                knowing how long you survived in a certain stage, longest time. and a just for fun one, how many enemy you killed with fire. (insert "kill it with fire!" picture)

                  Oh yeah, I'm a stat junkie too. Let's get this started.

                  • Total distance walked (remember when people used to make apps that tracked total distance that your mouse cursor traveled across the screen?).
                  • Total fall damage taken.
                  • Total monsters killed by DoTs (toxic centipede, plasma gun, barbed wire, gasoline tank, etc.)
                  • Total money blown on shrines.
                  • Highest amount of money blown on a shrine.
                  • Total health blown on shrines.
                  • Highest amount of health blown on a shrine (how risky you want to play it?).
                  • Total cans/bins opened.
                  • Total money provided by Life Savings (so we all can laugh at it).
                  • Longest and shortest time between boss spawn and boss death (not sure if this can be easily mined without adding extra tracking code - if not, feel free to ditch it).
                  • Average damage dealt by all means per second (basically total run damage / run time). Because there's gotta be something useful there :D

                    I think some stats should have funny names, just for the hell of it. There should also be some absurd non-sensical stats to laugh at.
                    "Near-Death Experiences"; "Number of Guardian Angels"; "Number of times you were a lucky son of a"; "Times cheated Death"

                    Maybe also 'highest amount of money collected through Life Savings in one run'.


                    How about (any of) these:
                    • Longest distance flown (Photon Jetpack)
                    • Highest distance flown
                    • Closest to light speed achieved [in %] (the highest speed you once had; i.e. Paul's Goat Hoof)
                    • Most lifesteal
                    • Highest Damage stat
                    • Highest level (xp levelling)
                    • Number of secrets found [in %?]
                    • Highest number of times you revived a single drone
                    • Quickest Health Regen [based on % of max health healed per second]
                    • Highest vampirism (how much HP you've collected using Infusion)
                    • Time spent in subspace (time spent using the Unstable Watch)
                    • Number of times punched in the face
                    • Biggest knockback distance
                    • Highest crit stat
                    • Longest time spent untouchable (longest amount of time spent without taking damage)
                    • Longest time spent on a single level
                    • Highest Attack Speed

                        This game has so lots of statistics to count and there should be some point to stop or it grow pretty big!
