When you run out of lives you must wait for a timer to grow them back, it's around 20 minutes per life
There are small recurring timed "races" against random assortments of other players for a reward.
Rewards are very random and occur at random times. Sometimes a power up is granted for 15 minutes or half an hour at a completely random time.
You can give other players extra lives. This feature eliminates the need to ever spend money on the game, though, so it seems like a net good.
You can use in-game coins to buy new lives when you run out of lives and I think you can buy coins with real money.
