Wait To Play reported on Jun 5, 2024
You need to wait for your stamina to refill over time to play a level. In the Dreamland game mode, you only get 4 chances to play per day.
Can't Pause or Save reported on Jun 5, 2024
You can pause during single-player experiences, but if the game crashes or you leave, you are given three reconnection chances. If you use all three chances, your progress is lost, depending on the mode. If you quit during a stage however, you can claim any rewards you got during the level. In multi-player, you get no rewards if your game crashes or you quit during a raid.
Artificial Scarcity reported on Jun 5, 2024
Sometimes, when you beat a stage or complete a certain milestone (such as upgrading armor), a limited time offer will appear.
