I found a glitch in pocket tanks with one of the weapons. The beehive weapon when will explode with all the little yellow "bees" and go towards the opponent. If the opponent is blocked by a bouncy wall though, the bees will just continue to bounce off of the wall back and forth trying to get to the opponent.
I left it for while but there doesn't seem to be any timeout value for the bees. I also had this happen to me with the shelter. Then i have to start a new match because I can't continue in my current match.
Anyone have this happen to them?

It isn't a glitch or a bug, it's how the weapon works. Every weapon has its disadvantages.

Yeah, Thats true. But it holds the game up though and you can't do anything but exit from that match. . .kind of annoying.

There should be some kind of timeout where the weapon doesn't do any terrain or tank damage but just disappears. That way, you don't have to quit.

Oh, yeah big time! I hate it when that happens! I've had to end countless games due to that "glitch".

Yes! That Happened to me!.
In fact, I used it when I was about to lose, because I knew that was going to happen... we exit the match
sorry for my English, I'm from Argentina.
Bye!

Hmm... This is strange. I've never had this happen to me yet.
Have happend to me a couple of times as well. I think the Beehive-projectiles should be given a timeout.

Having a timeout button wouldnt be any good unless they said 30 seconds after the weapon is shot, because then you could just keep pressing the timeout button when the enemy fires, even if it wasnt going to glitch up.

Was this fixed in the mac version? I've never seen this occur even though I tried countless times in target practice.

What? How does this happen? One of the first things I did was see what Bees did when confronted by a bouncy wall. For me they just explode after a while.

If you use colide-o-scope on a shelter it does kinda the same thing but does dissapear.

Yeah, It happened so. Nothing can we do except exit. Its annoying and ridiculous too..

and im guessing its going to be gone because the bee will be moveing but at such a small rate you can't see it.

Hi guys, I don't know if I've answered this before on the forums, but I get it a lot in emails. This kind of glitch was fixed back with the v1.00b update. Only those running version a would suffer the problem. If you continue to have problems, send the email and full name you used when you originally purchased Pocket Tanks Deluxe to techsupport@blitwise.com and we'll get you an updated version of the game.

Version b was released a while ago. That's the one that has the fix. The one coming out next month will, of course, still be fixed. :)

this is a glitch, if the bee hits a bouncy wall it will continue to bounce and will NEVER dissapear. Great game!!!! I might get a divorce if I continue to play so much,,,,,, :)

CPU fired a Shelter and then I fired a Beehive a few shots later, and one of the tiny "Bees" somehow got stuck on top of the Shelter...
It kept vibrating back and forth for a minute or two until I had to hit the esc key and end the game...

Oh, nevermind, I actually just read this thread and see that this "glitch" has been discussed...
