the game is always running special events that add cosmetics and new levels to the game. the cosmetics can only be purchased while the event is active and the levels cannot be purchased, only playable while the event is active. sometimes they offer brief limited time offers on their valuable boosts
Pay to Skip reported on Dec 19, 2023
several modes of the game have limited lives that replenish over time, others have limited lives per play. both give you the option to watch an ad or spend in game currency (which can be earned by playing but tend to be fairly scarce w/o paying) to get a life back if you lose them all
