 an angle of fewer than 90 degrees. A value higher than ``0.1`` tells us that we
 are roughly above the monster.
 
+After handling the squash and bounce logic, we terminate the loop early via the ``break`` statement
+to prevent further duplicate calls to ``mob.squash()``, which may otherwise result in unintended bugs
+such as counting the score multiple times for one kill.
+
 We are calling one undefined function, ``mob.squash()``, so we have to add it to
 the Mob class.
