More about this game
Moonlit Knight is an auto-runner where you guide a knight through a dark forest. Your goal is to survive as long as possible while racking up points. The knight runs automatically, starting at a speed of 420 and accelerating up to a maximum of 820. You must jump over brambles and slash slimes to stay alive. Slashing slimes builds a combo multiplier, but taking damage or letting a slime pass you resets it. You have three hearts, and the run ends when you lose them all.
Tips
- You can buffer your jumps. If you tap up to 0.14 seconds before landing, the knight will automatically jump again the exact moment his feet touch the ground.
- Do not let slimes pass you. If a slime goes off the left side of the screen, your combo resets to zero just like taking damage.
- Time your slashes carefully instead of spamming. There is a 0.18-second cooldown between swings, and hitting two slimes in one swing triggers a double slash bonus.
Questions
How does the combo scoring system work?
Every slime you slash adds to your combo. Your base reward is 10 points, and the multiplier increases by one for every 5 combo points you chain together without getting hit or missing a slime.
What happens when I hit a bramble or slime?
You lose one of your three hearts, your combo resets to zero, and the knight flashes with 1.3 seconds of invincibility. The game ends when you run out of hearts.
How do I earn points from running?
Aside from slashing slimes and grabbing 5-point moon shards, you earn 1 point for every 120 units of distance you cover. The faster you run, the quicker these passive points accumulate.
