.png){kind=link}
"Absorb %d Fire Flyers to get to the next stage. There are %d in this area, bet you can't collect them all!"
An early version of the Fire Flyers indicator consisted of a cloud with an animated sprite of the Fire Flyer telling the player how many Fire Flyers are needed to be collected to advance. While still in the game's files, its text fails to load.
Chain Collecting[]
In earlier versions of Tornado Outbreak, the ability to toggle the advanced chain collecting mode could've been enabled with the press of a button. This ability would completely remove any smokes and sparks appearing from any objects, along with the removal of the Fire Flyers' sizzle sound effect.
Fujita Frenzy[]
The Fujita Frenzy was a power-up that would've been activated once the player collected a specific amount of humans hiding in specific buildings. The power-up would increase the player's tornado size and allowed the player to destroy larger buildings.
Game mode switch[]
Left within the game's .bgw files contains an unused function that changes the current game mode.

Under Construction[]
A beta version of the exit button. When enabled via modding, it allows players to skip the level and load the Totem battle, presumably for debugging purposes.
Multiplayer voice lines[]
