Bugs collection

In this thread we collect the bugs of both LBA1 and LBA2 (PC versions).
Some bugs are really useful for exploiting, eg. for playing challenges. Others may be just very funny or frustrating, optionally including workarounds.

Post every bug in it's own post, do not post anything else, and do not go offtopic. This thread is meant to collect the related information, so no discussions please. This thread will be used to keep it all together for now instead of spread out across the entire forums, until I merge it with the related Twinsuniverse category.

Magic Ball Bounce

Version: LBA1 Mobile version

Bug Type: Scripting/Sound/Glitch

Bug Severity: Low

Description: When throwing the magic ball while facing a wall, there is chance that the ball will bounce for a very long time, following a logical path, and then stop, staying at the location it stopped its movement. The magic ball will, then, produce a lot of noise if you reach close to it.

How to reproduce: Throw the magic ball while facing a wall and jump. Repeat until the bug occurs.

Exploitable Uses: Kill enemies much farther then you without risk taking damage.

Workaround: Don't throw your ball while facing a wall. If bug occurs, throw your magic ball again after it stops moving.
