Where's my energy?

[trifletown]

I consistently get an energy reward upon completing a level. However, the energy counter never increases unless I wait to play the game. Why am I not getting the energy I've earned??

You're only earning 1 energy bolt, which replaces the one you used to play that level.

So in other words, if you beat the level, you don't lose energy for playing.*

If you don't beat the level, then it costs you one energy.

*The exception is once you have earned all 18 stars in one island. Then replaying those levels will cost you energy, even if you win.
