Yes, (latest published here: [https://makecode.com/\_PXqECpXwydfh](https://makecode.com/_PXqECpXwydfh) problem i have now is:

- on level 3, the seaweed animations start overlapping when you lose a life and reload the level; even though, I am destroying the resources in “destroy level” function.

Some help on this is also appreciated.  
Warm regards

Ahh, I see; here’s a version that should be fixed:

> **[DaveAwesome](https://arcade.makecode.com/43493-89987-66323-48675)**
>
> Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

In the version you had, you were iterating over all the tiles that had started off with weeds / gems and calling destroy ‘gem’ or destroy ‘weed’; it’s important to note that the variables you were destroying in those loops were only ever referring to the last sprite of that kind that was created. Whenever you create a new variable with `set mySprite to ...`, mySprite will refer to the new thing that you set, not any of the other ones that it referred to previously.

There’s two easy ways to fix it; since you added the tilemaps extension I used the easiest way (the destroy all of kind block), but for reference you could also do this:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/959df21c0ee716b8a9b97fd8c6b3379d018fef8d.png)

that gets an array of all the yellow gem sprites, and says to delete those.
