Summary  
This chapter demonstrates how to manage game state by assigning roles to items that modify score and lives, updating those values in real time, and triggering a timed or life-based game over pop-up.  

General domain of usage  
Interactive browser games

Catching supplies is fun, but it gets even better when items have different roles. Let's add points, lives, and a cheerful game over screen to make the challenge feel more realistic.

The falling items won't all behave the same. Some will be **good**, some **bad**, and one especially **rare and valuable**.

Here's what we'll add:

**Game over pop-up**
- Triggers when lives reach 0 or after a short timer (30s) runs out;
- Shows the final score;
- Has two buttons: "Play Again" and "Back Home".

In our game, what happens when the player catches a bad item, such as a smelly sock?
