How do lives work in Swipe City?

[AARPTeri]

If you quit in the middle of a Swipe City level, you lose one life. However, that’s not the end of the game! You start the game with five lives, and they regenerate over time. If you’re in a pinch, you can also refill lives by buying them for 90 coins each.

When you’re struggling with a level, if you quit to the main menu you’ll lose a life. However, if you restart the level from the beginning, you’re not penalized at all. Consider starting from scratch instead of jumping back to the main menu unless you need to!
