This is the first time I ever coded and I need help. This change life by -1 keeps removing 2 instead. I tried doubling the set life but sometimes, it removes 1 life. The game is about 5 monkeys bouncing off the walls and you have to prevent them from touching the floor.

This is happening because the monkeys are being sneaky and hitting two tiles at once. You can see how it’s working in this variation:

To fix, you can

- change the angle they fly down at (so it comes in solidly on one tile)
- only take the life if the exact bottom-center of the monkey is touching the tile
- only take the life when the sprite is destroyed

I think the last one is easiest. You can see my fix here:
