too quick to lose energy

[DonaleaA2011]

I'm not sure about everybody else, but I would absolutely love this game, except that I am new and my energy goes way to quickly. Would it not be to their benefit to hold a newbies attention by letting them play for a while before they run out of energy? I have 5 friends on the game, and none of them are playing anymore, and I highly suspect that this is the reason why. I know I log out and don't go back to it for a week or two. Very frustrating.

We have designed the game in a way to allow for increased single session play time. Here are a couple tips which will help your gameplay: You can upgrade your tools to decrease the amount of energy consumption necessary to search trace tiles, you can follow clue tiles to find evidence faster, and also take advantage of the energy mini game, which is a quick way to receive free coffee. In addition, with each level gained, your maximum amount of energy will increase and your entire energy bar will be replenished. Lastly, you can visit your friends' labs and collect up to 4 free coffees a day. Please also note that current coffee prices are on sale. Hope this helps out and thanks again.
