A level that eats five hearts in a row should offer a helping hand, once

Players who lose the same level again and again quit the game, but a help that appears too early or too often cheapens every win. Here is a counter that offers help at the right moment, ignores walking away, and starts over after a win.

Why this works

Help lands best when someone is stuck, and lands badly when it looks like pity. Offering it at the start of the next try, once per run of failures and tied to one level, feels like a gift and cannot be farmed.

When not to use it

Skip it in a game whose point is mastery through struggle, such as a hard challenge game whose players take pride in beating it unaided. Help there cheapens the win; offer an optional easier mode that the player picks on purpose.
