Hi
I’m new to this forum and I registered simply to ask for on this problem.
I’m making a brick breaker game and everything seems to work except that when you either loose the game (the ball hits the ground 3 times you fail) or win the menu glitches out. the play button on the menu doesn’t appear and when you click it just takes you to the instructions menu.
Can anyone help me, if the problem is easy enough then feel free to fix it other wise i just need to know where I’m screwing up.
thanks
