Fireboy and Watergirl

Fireboy and Watergirl is a popular puzzle-platformer series created by Oslo developer Albet (part of Fizzion Games). The game was first released in 2009 and quickly became a phenomenon thanks to its unique gameplay, simple but attractive graphics, and cooperative mechanics between two characters: Fireboy and Watergirl.

Each character has its own characteristics: Fireboy cannot touch water, and Watergirl cannot touch fire. The player must control both characters to overcome mazes, activate switches, collect diamonds and find their way to the exit – all within the time limit.

How to play Fireboy and Watergirl?

Game modes

• 1 player: Use both hands to control Fireboy (arrows) and Watergirl (WASD).
• 2 players: Each person controls one character. This is an ideal game to play with friends or family.

Main objective

• Collect all diamonds in the level to get the highest score in that level.
• Lead both Fireboy and Watergirl to the corresponding exit (red for Fireboy, blue for Watergirl).
• Avoid traps, pits, water (for Fireboy) and fire (for Watergirl).
• Physics: The game uses a system of levers, buttons, mobile platforms, and switches that require coordination between the two characters.

Tips for playing Fireboy and Watergirl effectively

• Always observe the environment: Identify the location of traps, switches, and exits before moving.
• Prioritize safety over diamonds: Don't risk getting diamonds if you are likely to fall into a trap - completing the level is the priority.
• Coordination (when playing 2 players): Communicate clearly to avoid getting one character stuck or dead.
• Use smart switches: Many switches need to be held continuously – let one character stand still while the other moves on.
• Practice difficult levels many times: Some levels require precise timing – don’t be discouraged if you fail a few times!
