Hi! I have found this forum so helpful and I’m very grateful.  
I am stuck on this game. Once the end of the third tilemap is reached, the game just freezes. Why?

Less significant, but still a glitch, is the projectiles on tilemap lv 2. They appear randomly after the enemy is destroyed. Is there a way to turn them off?

Yes

The problem is this:

After mySprite2 is destroyed, the sprite variable mySprite2 doesn’t exist anymore.  
So if mySprite2 doesn’t exist, the [set (projectile) follow (mySprite2) with speed (100)] block doesn’t work because mySprite2 doesn’t exist.

Here is the fixed one:

Cheers for that support.  
The projectile bug makes sense now.  
However, the freeze still happens at this point.

@GKcode  
Thanks for the ideas mate!  
I took inspiration from them and got the code to work without the custom function that caused the bug. It wasn’t really needed anyway.
