I am writing a simple game in ez80 assembly, and every single time I run the program, my calculator's free RAM goes down a lot.
I can run the game maybe 4-5 times before it runs out and a memory error occurs.
Is my program simply not deallocated from memory, if so, how do I get it to?
You're responsible for deallocating anything you allocate. Without seeing your program, I can't say what the exact problem is for you.
I know, but what exactly counts as an allocation in this case?
All I'm doing is reserving some space in the program with a ton of .db's, but that's indistinguishable from code, so I don't think that counts as an allocation.
Here's a link if it helps:

Some kind of memory corruption is occurring because you're clobbering IY in SJQ_gameplay. Many OS calls expect IY to be equal to flags ($D00080).
Easiest fix is to just wrap the body of SJQ_gameplay in push iy \ ... \ pop iy.
