Fireboy and Watergirl

Fireboy and Watergirl: The Forest Temple is one of the most iconic cooperative puzzle-platformers of all time. Whether you play solo by switching between the two heroes or team up with a friend for true co-op, the challenge is the same: guide both characters through trap-filled temples, collect diamonds, and make it safely to the exit.

Gameplay Overview

Objective

• Guide Fireboy and Watergirl through 32 puzzle-packed levels.
• Collect gems along the way for full completion.
• Solve puzzles with switches, levers, and elevators that require both characters to cooperate.
• Safely reach the exit doors with both characters alive.

If one falls into a trap, the run ends—teamwork is essential.

Controls

• Fireboy: Arrow Keys
• Watergirl: WASD

Elemental Dynamics

• Fireboy can walk through lava but dies in water.
• Watergirl is safe in water but perishes in fire.
• Both characters die instantly if they touch green ooze.

This balance forces players to think ahead—choosing the right path for each character is just as important as timing jumps.

Puzzle Mechanics

• Each level of the Forest Temple is filled with traps and brainteasers:
• Switches and Levers: Activate platforms, doors, or elevators, often requiring one character to help the other progress.
• Cooperative Timing: Many puzzles require both characters to act in sequence, such as holding down pressure plates or moving platforms simultaneously.
• Gem Collection: Completionists can hunt down every gem—red for Fireboy, blue for Watergirl—to maximize their score.
