After a bit, the balls start to despawn shortly after being thrown, it seems random.

# Steps to Reproduce

Play The Ice Cave normally  
Shoot rapidly like you usually do

## What I expected to happen

The shots to go through and hit the tiles

## What happened

Balls despawn right after being thrown, only the particle comes out.
