Do you mean when waiting to unlock the next episode? I think it has always been like that, unless you get somebody to help you. I get requests like that from time to time.
Hi @Icanwinnow, if you've lost your game progress, please visit this link that will show you how to get your progress back as I'm sure it has been saved.
You can also improve it by your score.
You are told that you can play a level again to get more stars.
Because with 2 stars the lock is lifted.
This possibility exists: I hope that I could help you.
