Если оператор с вложенным, если не работает, как ожидалось

Я сделал игру с холстом HTML, в котором пользователь может управлять движением персонажа. Я бы хотел, чтобы следующий внешний оператор if сначала перезапустил позиции x и y символа, а затем, если пользователь вышел из жизни, вызовите функцию, которая открывает модальную и отключает события смены ключа. Вместо этого функция вызывается, открывая модальность, и движение на доске прекращается (движущиеся вражеские персонажи перестают двигаться); однако позиции x и y не установлены на то, что указано во внешнем if-выражении, которое, как я ожидаю, произойдет раньше всего во вложенном операторе if. Без оператора, удаляющего прослушиватель событий, он работает как ожидалось (значения x и y устанавливаются тогда, когда модаль открыт).

if (player.x < this.x + 70 && player.x + 17 > this.x && player.y < this.y + 45 && 30 + player.y > this.y) {
  player.x = 200;
  player.y = 400;
  lives--;
  sidebarLives.innerHTML = lives;
  modalScore.innerHTML = score;
  if (lives === 0) {
    // Calls function that adds class that sets modal to display: block
    showModal();
    // This prevents player x and y values from updating (though modal appears)
    document.removeEventListener('keydown');
  }
}

Вот мой полный код JS:

"use strict"; // Enables strict mode to catch common bloopers

// TODO: Disable player movement when modal opened? Also, set 3 tries before modal opened (change to game over). Restart button.

const playAgainButton = document.querySelector('.play-again');
const restartButton = document.querySelector('.restart');

// Calls playAgain() function when user clicks play again button in modal
playAgainButton.addEventListener('click', playAgain);

// Calls playAgain() function when user clicks reset icon in sidebar
restartButton.addEventListener('click', playAgain);

// Starts lives at 3
let lives = 3;

let sidebarLives = document.querySelector('.lives-left');
sidebarLives.innerHTML = lives;

// Sets an initial player score of 0.
let score = 0;
// Sets score shown in sidebar
// document.getElementsByClassName('score')[0].innerHTML = score;
let sidebarScore = document.querySelector('.score');
sidebarScore.innerHTML = score;

let modalScore = document.querySelector('.modal-score');
modalScore.innerHTML = score;

// These 2 lines were used to set star rating in modal
// let starRating = document.querySelector('.stars').innerHTML;
// document.getElementsByClassName('star-rating')[0].innerHTML = starRating;

// Called when user clicks restart button in sidebar or play again button in modal. Sets modal to display: none, resets lives and score
function playAgain() {
  // Hides modal if present (if opened by game ending)
  modal.classList.remove('modal-visible');
  lives = 3;
  sidebarLives.innerHTML = lives;
  score = 0;
  sidebarScore.innerHTML = score;
}

// Calls playAgain() function (hides modal and restarts game) with user clicks "play again" button in modal
// TODO: remove? just one event listener for both buttons?
// modalPlayAgainButton.addEventListener('click', playAgain);

// Note: In a constructor function "this" does not have a value. It is a substitute for the new object. The value of this will become the new object when a new object is created

// Note commas not used to separate methods and properties in a class
class Player {
  // Constructor function, a special function just for initializing new objects, will automatically run when a new object is constructed (with keyword "new") from this class. Contains data needed to create it
  constructor(x, y, speed) {
    this.sprite = 'images/char-boy.png';
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
    this.speed = speed;
  }

  // Methods that all objects created from class will inherit. Would exist on prototype in pre-class way of writing it, but effect is the same (the following methods still exist on Player prototype [for example would be Player.prototype.update = function(dt)...])

  // When player reaches water, moves player back to starting position, and increase score by 1
  update(dt) {
    if (this.y === 25) {
      this.x = 200;

      sidebarScore.innerHTML = score;
    }
  }

  // Draws player on screen
  render() {
    ctx.drawImage(Resources.get(this.sprite), this.x, this.y)
  }

  // Connects keyboard input to player movement. If statements prevent player movement off screen
  handleInput(allowedKeys) {

    if (allowedKeys === 'down' && this.y < 425) {

        }

        if (allowedKeys === 'right' && this.x < 400) {
            this.x += 25;
        }
  }

    // Multiplies enemy movement by time delta to ensure game runs at same speed for all computers
    this.x += this.speed * dt;
    // Once enemy finished moving across screen, moves it back so it can cross screen again and randomizes its speed
    if (this.x > 500) {
      this.x = -75;

      this.speed = 70 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 450);
    }

    // When collission occurs, subtracts a life, updates lives displayed in sidebar and updates score that will be displayed in modal if no lives remaining
    if (player.x < this.x + 70 && player.x + 17 > this.x && player.y < this.y + 45 && 30 + player.y > this.y) {
