Fireboy And Watergirl Games

Fireboy and Watergirl are joining forces to explore all kinds of magical temples in search of precious diamonds. In these element-themed platform adventure games, your goal is to help them work together. Collect the gems and reach the exit.

Both characters need to use their elemental powers to make it through the maze-like levels. Fireboy can move through lava and collect the red gems, but he must avoid the water. Watergirl can wade through the pools of water and collect the blue gems, but she can't touch the lava.

How do you play Fireboy and Watergirl?

Make Fireboy run and jump with the arrow keys, and move Watergirl using the WASD-keys. Push the levers and buttons to open secret doorways and activate the elevators. Both characters need to make it to the right exit alive to complete the level. The symbols on the doors will show you where each character needs to go.

Yes, even though the games are designed for local co-op play, you can also play them alone.

By sharing the keyboard on a single computer, one player can control Fireboy, while the other plays as Watergirl. You don't need to change the settings to play alone. The controls stay the same.

At the moment, playing Fireboy and Watergirl online with friends on different computers is not yet possible.

Some levels in the games have a time limit. You don't have to complete the level within the time, but you can earn bonuses if you finish quickly. The time limits vary per level, but are always shown in the game.

Tips and tricks to solve the puzzles, beat the times, and collect all the diamonds

• Work together
  It can be difficult to complete the levels quickly if you play alone. You have to control both characters at the same time to manage it. Playing together with a friend makes it easier to make it to the exit within the time limit.

• Plan ahead
  You'll need to communicate clearly. This might take a practice round. Study the maze carefully and figure out who's going push what button or lever. In part 6, you'll also need to decide who's going to move the fairies.
