[My game](https://arcade.makecode.com/S22869-61422-21037-60421)  
I have had (multiple times) an issue where the arcade sprite events extension fails to detect collision until I reload the simulator, but in this game it works 100% of the time for round 1, and then breaks 100% of the time for round 2. Why? I tried putting a “console log” for the damage variable used in the collision and it never logs implying that the collision detection is failing
