Except when the game is broken because it allows you the ability to spend hearts, a limited resource, where you can't use them, and then have to use another limited resource, coins, to fix these errors in the game. Potentially risking the game to run to a complete halt, because you've neither lost but you can't progress either. This game isn't 'difficult', it's broken.

Cheating in this case is merely correcting a mistaken attitude the developers have to their game.
