The game checks for an overlap every 1/30th of a second, or 30 times a second. If you have the player lose a life when it is overlapping an enemy, it will actually be overlapping that enemy 30 times a second and will lose its lives that fast! My recommendation is to move the player sprite out of the way of the enemy sprite after being hit, like knockback.

@Tbnb Welcome to the Makecode forums! (I hope your gonna love it here just as much as me!) you should make it so that the enemy sprite gets destroyed when it touches the player
