Static Ball Glitch

I was messing around with static ball in Target practice, I shot a Static Ball that got 110 points because when it hit the other player it had 5 tens, and then the hit was 2 thirtys...2 THRITYS!!! Has this happened to anyone else?

So do you have to hit it directly on the other player?

I really have no idea how it happened...But it counted the initial hit twice...

Weird... I've hit straight on many times but that's never happened to me.

It wasn't a direct hit...it bounced around a bit then hit.

Oh... well, I've done that many more times, and it still didn't happen.

Weird...

Grr I hate glitches.. they're what take away the strategy in this game and turn it into a game of luck

I hvae gotten 4 tens and 1 thirty, because when it bounces around it shocks you and when it hits you it or explodes near you it does thirty.

Yeah... that's the most I've ever got.

I recently (30 seconds ago) joined,

but I have been playing pocket tanks for quite some time

I had a few questions reguarding weapons..

Is there any special use of flash blast and/or the shadow blast weapon?

And also a fun thing to try is to make the screen a giant funnel intarget practice, having one of the players near the top on several pedestals, and then firing whatever you want,
-pineapple is fun, and i thought solar flare might be the most damaging weapon in the game, except it rebounds not wuite as i had hoped in the gigantic funnel

(use lots of mud pies combined with tunnels to make the giant funnel, then coat the entire screen with bouncy dirt)
