func _on_GameTimer_timeout():    time_left -= 1    $HUD.update_timer(time_left)    if time_left <= 0:        game_over()

Every time the GameTimer times out (every second), the remaining time is reduced. Next, connect the pickup() and hurt() signals of the Player:

func _on_Player_pickup():    score += 1    $HUD.update_score(score)func _on_Player_hurt():    game_over()

func game_over():    playing = false    $GameTimer.stop() for coin in $CoinContainer.get_children(): ...
