Useless powerup

I think that the most useless powerup is the super shot. Rarely do u ever need for a shot to go twice as far as it normally would. It does work sometimes to try and get a faraway purple or red or if u want to shoot yourself off the map
:-) (Sometimes thats quite fun!!) Oh yea and by the way, for the next version of orbz is there gonna be more powerups and new orbs? I dont know what kind of other powerups there would be

Well, it would last for 10 seconds. It would just take longer to get back down ::)

I would like to see it left on the board.

I have used the supershot on several occasions to grab a far off star or power up and to position my orb back in competition.I would like to see it left on the board.

An interesting powerup to see would be Star Slicer. When you hit a Star or power-up, you don't get it and bounce off of it, you go right through it, allowing you to go through many stars if they are in a line. The effect lasts for 20 seconds.

Im just saying that the super shot has only helped me a couple of times not that it should it be completely taken out of the game. Hey yoshi, that sounds like a good idea except 20 secs might be too long more like 10 sec

Yeah, otherwise, almost every single person would be getting insane multi-hit bonuses.

A good level for that powerup would be on boot camp in the beginning with all the stars lined up

I wish a stealing powerup when activated you can hit another player or bot and you steal his last score :)

I don't visit this forum so frequently any more (I'm always on Gamingprojects =).
That Supershot powerup might be the ONLY rescue, the ONLY save you have got when you're "stranded" in a part of a map with no otherwise reachable stars around you.
If you have a supershot however, you can use that together with some very MINOR practice, hit stars far away, thus saving your precious bonus. After all, as the unwritten motto of Orbz is;
"Bonus is everything"
My thoughts, MY belief, based on MY experience with Orbz !

What happens if you're exactly between to targets? :)

Oh, and it has a use. on the rise above level you can use it to escape the warps and explore the surface :)

I'm thinking of putting some more warps in R.A. for the next release to keep that from happening accidently. I got whacked with two of us coming out of one of the accelarators the other day -- knocked me way the heck past the warps. I was just getting back to them when the game ended. (score zero)
