i haven't noticed this with other levels. Using a diagonal move takes 2 moves away! When you only get 20 moves, that goes very quickly when sometimes the game forces you to make a diagonal move before shuffling.
I am playing on an iPad and the same thing happens at level 2908 (making a diagonal move uses up two moves, not one). This did not happen when the diagonal move feature was previously available. If this is intentional, players should be notified that making a diagonal match will cost them two moves, so that they can strategize accordingly. If it is not intentional, then this glitch needs to be fixed. Level 2908 starts with only 20 moves, so losing two moves at a time makes it extremely challenging.
On level 2289, and im stuck due to a glitch of some sort that when i play a move it takes away 2 moves from my remaining moves. Due to this I've lost 6 each from all of the boosters available on this stage
