Game Details

Game Introduction

Fireboy and Watergirl need your help to explore the Forest Temple. Solve the puzzles, beat the times, and collect all the diamonds!

Play alone or with a friend to join Fireboy and Watergirl in this adventure!

Fireboy and Watergirl 1: Forest Temple is the first cooperative platformer game in the popular Fireboy and Watergirl series. In this adventure, you explore 32 levels of the Forest Temple, controlling both the Fireboy and Watergirl characters through various puzzles, traps, and obstacles.

How to Play

Fireboy and Watergirl 1: Forest Temple is best played cooperatively with one other player. You and a friend control both characters separately. Using these characters, you must defeat a range of traps and tricky situations, pick up gems, and reach the end of the level.

Both characters have unique advantages that you should leverage to navigate through the level. Fireboy can walk through fire without harm but is hurt by water, while Watergirl can walk through water safely but is hurt by fire. As you progress through the 32 stages, the challenges become increasingly difficult. You'll need to use the characters together to get through doors, up elevators, and over deadly green ooze.

Turn levers and push buttons to complete these 32 levels of the official Fireboy and Watergirl series. Each level features unique mechanics and challenges that test your puzzle-solving and coordination skills. Collect all the diamonds in each level to achieve perfect scores!
