Re: Boulder Starvation

I watched several times where balls simply accumulated at the end of the secret passage. The first couple balls just stay there by chance, or maybe having a robot push them there, then the new balls being introduced to the field roll into the ball blockage and stay there. At one regional I saw a ball pile with 10 balls, that is over half of the balls in the game.
It is then annoying to grab those balls now since you have to be careful about grabbing two, to avoid penalties, while not driving on top of the balls.
