This is a really good first game (better then mine), it has really good pacing in terms of difficulty spikes, it has a minimalist airt style (a good choice to get to know pixel art I think I’m not an artist). If you come back and revisist the topic I would fix the hit/hurt boxes as the _sprite on overlap tile_ means that if the sprite overlaps the tile even if the sprite overlaps the null area (what I like to the white and grey checkers as) will cause the player to be sent back to the start. so instead when the player enters a new level you can do this:
If your confused on how the hitboxes in makecode work here:
(excuse the bad hand writing) if you need the code heres a sprite vs tile Hitbox demo:

(You can customise hitboxes using sprites but have the tiles as indicatiors.)
Wlcome to makecode arcade @FrostBiteDoesStuff very nice game.

Thanks for the tip @Coderadventurer ! I am trying to add better hit boxes into the updated version.

The spikes from a previous level still appear and can kill you. Do you know how to fix this?

when you enter a new level you can delete all of the spike sprites. There’s a block called delete all sprites of kind (player) in the sprites section.

This is a really fun game, I feel like it’s the kind of game that you REALLY want to beat, but the really hard levels can ragebait but I barely won. 10/10!

You should add a death count (how many times the player has died):
1. Make a variable: ‘deaths’
2. Create a textSprite. In the bubble where you put the writing, place a variable ‘deaths’ block (the little circle) inside.
3. Now position the textSprite at the top of the screen (or wherever you want it).
4. Then, put a {set my textSprite [relative to camera] to \< on \>} block.
5. Finally, whenever the player dies, place the player where it needs to go _first_, then put a {change variable [deaths] by 1} block.
This probably makes no sense. Here is a picture from my game that shows this happening:
I crossed out the name (because it is spoiler and simulator hidden) But I also used betterSettings instead of a variable.

```auto

This is what it looks like in the game: (name crossed)
