Dodge: Game Over

Part of the Game Rules section of Coddy's Godot journey. Lesson 28 of 29.

At zero lives, the game goes on. The score keeps counting and the lives go below zero.

End the game the way you did in the spike room. Show the hidden GameOver label and pause the game. The pause stops both timers, so the score stays at the seconds you survived. The blocks stop where they are.

if lives == 0:
	$HUD/GameOver.visible = true
	get_tree().paused = true

Challenge

Medium

In _on_player_hurt(), after the label line, check if lives is 0. If so, show $HUD/GameOver and pause the game.

Try it yourself
