I’m making a very basic game based on the “Over and Under #2” tutorial. The game works fine and I can finish the race no problem. But once I add animation to my player the player gets stuck on a loop and won’t advance the game. Problem is, in the original tutorial the animation works fine so idk what is different between the two games or what I did wrong. I don’t think the problem is with the tileset because without animation everything works fine. I ran out of ideas, any help is welcomed, thank you. ![error1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/3/3425f7ff19678cfc736454a1939b7a900cc406c8.jpeg) ![error2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/b/bd3b7b6af9fdf448a90a2bf2eaacf027f603c4ac.jpeg) ---

I think I know what’s happening, but to be sure I need to see all the animations frames or send me a link to the game by pressing the button in between the home and ? Buttons and then clicking share. This should give you a link. ---

Yup, it was what I thought, the animation was uneven, and it was changing the hit box here is the updated link where it’s fixed —-\> [https://makecode.com/\_W5cC0FeK9PAX](https://makecode.com/_W5cC0FeK9PAX) ---

Hi Ariram! The distance to the ground was uneven so when it went from a distance of two to zero of the ground it would glitch into it. Here is a gif of me fixing it ![IMG_4552](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/c/c796d9172c8567dc3655ef5db0480361974a98bf.gif) ---

ohhhhhh I see, wonderful, thank you 🙏 Do you know why it still gets stuck in random places sometimes? ---

Yes, the problem is the same but vertically. The stem will phase through the felling. If you make all the demotions the same in the animation or just add a hitbox. In this example—\> [https://arcade.makecode.com/S71681-26740-91179-34281](https://arcade.makecode.com/S71681-26740-91179-34281) I added a hitbox, now you can make the sprite’s animation look like whatever you want without changing it’s hitbox. I also think the game would be better if it were randomly generated. In an unfinished game I made —\> [https://arcade.makecode.com/S09232-78140-21096-94337](https://arcade.makecode.com/S09232-78140-21096-94337) It is similar to yours, feel free to copy or take inspiration from my code. Good pixel art in your game btw ---

This is wonderful! Can you explain to me what this line is for? ![imagen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/6/6eed20586bdd669087e3e06468cff92a6dca0560.png) Also, I will have to check the randomly part slower bc that’s a lot of coding ^^U but I will, thanks \<3 ---
