I've got lots of lives so that's not an issue. You're 100% spot on about the timing of the "break". Mostly it's as I'm either climbing the robot thing or at the top. Getting quite frustrating.
It's doing my head in. Funny it works okay when I'm feeding a ram or a dragon (😎) but as soon as it's done, I get kicked out. It only seems to happen if I try scroll down the board. I can't send lives from my level as I'm way ahead of friends. 🙄
