I fixed it. You did not flip the whole animation. You only flipped first frame. > **[dungeon crawler](https://arcade.makecode.com/S35518-34241-10035-40520)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

I hope no one else is waiting for their post to be approved here… Anyway, the fix is very simple. I assume you copied the facing left animation for the facing right animation, and then tried to flip it. But you only flipped the first frame! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/d/1/d1eeb493a71d606e2c83b0e3c48301f57aceab74.png) See, over at the right side of the screen. All you need to do is flip the other two frames and it will be fixed! I’m glad there was finally a question that I (with my limited coding ability) could actually help with! –🐕🦑 ---

When using character animations all you need to do is call the animation blocks once, and the sprite will automatically follow it for the rest of the game unless u specify no character anims for it. Make sure to use the purple-grey blocks in the character ext tab ---
