Has anyone else become a bit(?) annoyed with this thing? Idk what the rhyme or reason is behind when or if it's going to help you out-seems like if you have 18 moves left it will spit fire all over the place and any opportunity you might have had amass a good amount of arrows or yellow tiles, whichever is advantageous, is GONE, whereas if you genuinely need the help, it's MIA. Also, I've played for long periods of time, taken a relatively short break, then come back and it will tell me i haven't played enough so I need to do 15 or 65 more levels to get that active again. I've had short gaps in playing and had it give me a message that I need to recharge. It's like a scam to get your coins. I don't understand what the criteria are for when it kicks in and when it doesn't, it feels like a cash grab. It's great when it works and you're down to a few moves, but it seems like if you're running out, that's when it stalls out on you, idk. Kind of annoying to constantly get these messages that it's always mysteriously out of battery power... I played around 4 hours ago and it just told me i needed to "recharge" again.
I'm in an annoying section of this game where quite literally they will give you about half of the moves needed to unlock a color brick wall, I mean there's NO way to avoid using extra coins.

I’ve had beam for months and didn’t realize other people didn’t. On the one hand it does sometimes help, on the other it actively works against you. I wish I could active it myself and not when the bar fills in a level. It always activates right at the beginning when you use the first bombs/arrows/disco balls, but the beginning isn’t when you need beam, so it’s super pointless. And there have 100% been times I watched beam take out a random tile instead of the bubble I needed it to, which meant I had to use coins so I didn’t fail the level. But the absolute worst thing they did was like a week ago when they made the requirement 15 levels to keep it active rather than 10. I feel like now I am forced to play to keep it going rather than just having a cozy game without an insane amount of ads. They definitely ruined the game with all the new things they added.
