In this project I'm working on, the movement locks to up or down, or left or right depending on what you press first. I cannot seem to figure out what is causing this to happen, and I would love some help.

Thanks!

Have you set the correct rotation mode? Also, have you tried the change X/y blocks instead of the move X steps?
I can't see inside on your project because I'm on my phone, but those are some most common fixes.

You have a few things going on. First, when you let go of the right arrow key the left arrow can't go because you are in a repeat until speed = 0 loop. So the left arrow, or any other arrow, won't work until the speed is 0 and those repeat until loops are exited.

See if this helps. I reworked your scripts to get rid of the repeat until blocks and instead multiplied speed by .9. So when you let go of the arrow it will work its way down to 0. I also added a new variable called Yspeed.

Thank you so much! Will be sure to credit you in the final project!
