Success in battle depends on positioning, instincts, and seizing every chance for critical damage.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Checkpoints / Scoring</h2>Monster Lily is hard, especially early game when there aren't many resources available. Don't give up! Every 8 levels offers a checkpoint, along with a scoring system that rewards skillful play. To see the true ending, you’ll have to make it to the end without a single death.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Keyboard Controls</h2>Monster Lily is built for keyboard-only play in the classic roguelike style. If you haven’t played this way before, there’s a brief learning curve, but it becomes second nature fast. The Smooth Walk System makes movement easy and natural: just hold a movement key in the direction you want to go.
