Replaying levels....not getting new stars

OUGRAD

stars went back to replay some levels and it isn't updating on the map when I earn more stars or higher total. I have tried it on multiple levels and it's staying with whatever I had previously earned.

Hi @OUGRAD, welcome to our community and sorry for the delay in responding.  I'm not sure why that is happening and your message is the first report about this.  It might be a new glitch starting.  Where are you playing the game - computer? mobile device?  They are going to ask you to do some troubleshooting so let's try that first to see if it corrects the problem.  Click on one of the links below.

I agree.  It now stops giving me three stars at levels 13 and 14. I never had this before in do overs.

May I ask you a question?  Is there a specific reason why you want to have 3 stars on each level?  I've seen players comment on this before and it's like a drive for them to accomplish this for all levels.  I'm curious to hear why you feel this way.  I am just so happy to clear a level that I take the one star and move on.

Elsa, I like to play until I get three stars for several reasons. One, to be sure I grasp the level. Two, to slow down my progress.  It's a different way to play.  I played as you do, content with one star, only to find I am too high a level too fast, which encourages me to spend money too fast.  I like to see how far I can go without spending.  I also delete the game and re add it.  For me the fun is how fast or how slow I go up the first hundred levels.  Finally. It is irritating when so called upgrades have errors or are putting in ways to tempt me to keep trying to the point of trying to spend on in app purchases.  For me the game is a pastime.  I create different goals.  Otherwise I spend hundreds like in the past.

Very, very insightful information!  Thank you!  Maybe I should try to do it your way.
