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. ---

Can someone help me i need to get this done by Saturday I need to make these enemies spawn over and over again not to much just like 5 I also need it to over lap to lower hp and points and also making the bullets damage. Could you also please add another level splash so when it hits the flag then a splash box says “time for level 2” that should be it thanks.
