By accident I used the "use gold bars" for 5 extra moves. I did not want this, as even adding 10+ moves wouldn't have helped me win the level. Is there any way of getting the 9 bars used back?
I was offered 5 extra moves and I declined, but gold bars were still taken from me. I didn't even press the wrong button! Clearly something needs to be done, ie, confirm button before using or losing gold bars.
My PC is a little slow on processing so I clicked on the gold by accident. I agree a confirm button is desperately needed. However to address your question specifically, no its lost to never be returned.
It’s because in one of their updates they put the “Play On” button where the “Quit” button used to be. So out of habit you go to hit a certain spot, but now it’s something totally different. I’m sure this was completely intentional by them!
