Level 1
Curious, though I see others who have asked about this even 2 years ago with no response. I just "leveled up" (from 17 to 18) and was shown an increase of 5 lives. However, I got nothing. Is this because I already had my five lives? If so, are we supposed to try to time our level up to when we are on our last life? Please, may a programmer answer. This seems like another "bug."
You are 100% correct with what you wrote above! You should try adding the lives when you have one life left. Also since the envelope only holds 5 lives at a time increasing it won't bring it to a higher number.
So, since I cannot really control when I "level up," this is just one more aspect, like the numerous errors I have written about and been ignored, that ALL work in the favor of selling lives and moves. Not surprising, but honesty would be refreshing.
