A level that crashes and restarts takes a second heart from the player

A phone call, a crash or a double tap, and the same level start is charged twice. Here is the small record that charges once per real attempt, lets a broken one carry on, and refuses to bill a finished attempt again.

Why this works

A charge should follow one thing: the attempt the player chose to make. Giving every attempt its own name, written down before anything is paid, lets the game tell a repeat of the same try from a new one, even after a crash.

When not to use it

Skip it when starting a level costs nothing, as in a game with unlimited tries. There is no charge to protect, so tracking attempts only adds saved data; just reload the level when it fails.
