Hi @kit,

  1. Create a variable called “clock” and set it to the number of seconds required
  2. Add a repeat x times loop block with the clock variable value as the x parameter.
  3. Inside the loop block, put wait 1 second and change variable by block (1 or -1 depending on whether you want to increase or decrease)
  4. Set the text of your text object (your timer) to the value of your clock variable

you just need to add an “If”.

If clock variable is equal or less than zero, restartthe game.
