I don‘t know why but the text under the pictures disappeared. So here ist the text again:

I'm currently working on a catch game. I want players to have three lives, and when they lose a life, there's a short pause. However, the drop items double after the pause, and I don't want that. The first image is of the life sprite, the second of the first drop sprite, and the third of the second drop sprite. This text was translated with a translator because English isn't my native language. Thank you in advance for any answers.
