Rocket (Torpedo) bounce

[wise musk]

Currently the rocket (torpedo) is still lacking compared to dynamite and turret.
The difference is esp. true after some upgrades, where dynamite blasts a third of the level while the turret is a new multitool with some upgrades.

Meanwhile hitting the wagon or a wall with the rocket (torpedo) will vanish the rocket, wasting the rest of its potential reach.

Suggestion:
Bounce - the rocket will always use its full reach. If it hits an undestroyable obstacle (train, wagon, mountains) it will bounce with the same angle and continue to fly until its full distance is reached.

I just had this yesterday, uhm... if teammates walk into it, they die. If they have a heart they just vanish the torpedo :3
Is it possible to make them flythrough, too? So your team doesn't eat them but just die? :3

@tired patrol is notorious for blocking rockets

Possible definitely, but wouldn't that limit the fun of blaming your teammates of not paying attention?

I'd rather kill my teammates (which it does) than waste the torpedo :3
Let's see how the bounce is first, I'll come back to it

Playing experimental / timed mode RN where the torpedo is quite useful because the game forces you forward.
But I noticed it also gets a lot of "flying out the level".
I think an invisible bounce box at level edge would be nice if possible.

Just aim better
