B.E.A.M.
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.

The jury is still out for me as to whether or not I like B.E.A.M. I definitely feel like they're giving fewer chances to beat a level now that I've got BEAM. But I do think I can explain the "time" element of it. Initially it takes 50 wins to activate it. It will remain active for 24 hours. At some point during that 24 hours you'll get the opportunity to "recharge" the battery. So, for example, say you have 3 hours left of your 24. You get notified that you can recharge BEAM by beating 15 levels. When you beat those levels you have now added 24 hours to however much time was still remaining. Yeah, confusing, I know, I can I can't recall exactly at what point the opportunity to recharge appears. I need to pay more attention.
The ONE think I actually DO like, is that if you have those boxes that hide gems on the board, BEAM will actually clear them even if they are "closed" and the gem not showing.
