Heyo, thanks for playing! As of right now, if the meatball gets too much damage from ranged units, it will slowly shrivel into nothing and delete itself. We didn't get time to add any warning or polish to this situation, so the player gets screwed and it becomes a soft lock 😅. Wondering if maybe that is what happened to you when your meatball disappeared. Def something we can work on communicating better or fix in the future.
Regardless, thank you so much for playing and for the comment!
