**What I expect to happen:**  
I want the “Game Over” sound to play just once when the sprite goes off the screen

**What actually happens:**  
The sound loops (sounds like a crazy echo) because the draw loop continues iterating

**What I’ve tried:**  
I have moved the play sound block around and tried the stop sound block

it seems like you’ve resolved your issue however you didn’t account for stopping the player from jumping after the game has finished allowing them to keep playing even though they died

```auto
// Variables
var score = -1;

var platform = createSprite(200, 200);
platform.setAnimation("platform");

var platform2 = createSprite(200, 200);

here is my revised code hope this helps
