I have a feeling that it is changing the gravity direction for the pellet, but im not totally sure. Ill keep experimenting though! Seeyou around!
Well, I played around with the powered bouncer for a while (in no ways an organized experiment), and this is what I think:
-it usually bounces like a regular ball would, but occasionally (usually on its later bounces) just simply reverses direction (bounces backwards)
-sometimes, when it hits another surface, its gravity direction seems to change towards that surface. This causes it to bounce up walls sometimes and off walls others.
