the timer for some reason goes faster than it is supposed to or sometime it skips seconds.

As you can see in your code of Sprite3 (the red head):

- your “game start” event block increases the value of the Timer
- your “message1” event block increases the value of the Timer too. Sprite4 broadcasts this event (when clicked), and Sprite3 receives it.

So, the value of the Timer gets increased by 1 second within two event blocks.

I also noted, that your Sprite4 and Sprite7 completely overlaps each other on the screen. This might cause problems.

Also, I saw, that you try to reset your Timer to zero in a forever loop. This might not be a good idea.

Finally, please, give your broadcast messages meaningful names instead of “message1” and “message2”. This would make troubleshooting much easier.
