Fireboy and Watergirl Online gives you the chance to play a classic series, but with a potential partner who could be anywhere. The story follows the adventures of Fireboy and Watergirl, two beings composed of specific elements that can't interact directly with each other. Using their abilities, they decide to explore various worlds and realms, overcoming dangers as a team. You must use their elements to solve the different puzzles, either controlling both or controlling one. Only by working together can the two hope to complete the trials. There are many secrets to be uncovered and a lot of adventuring to be done.

About Fireboy and Watergirl Online

It can be challenging to set up an online function for a co-op game, especially when you're required to move simultaneously through an area. In this game, the setup allows for a slower-paced adventure, enabling each person to take their time as needed. The areas are dangerous and filled with puzzles, but you have time to explore and examine everything in the area before you make your move. You can communicate with your partner, or trust that you guys can understand each other through your actions. After all, neither character can get through the levels on their own.

How to Play

Fireboy and Watergirl Online is a 2D puzzle platform game about two characters completing different levels using the keyboard. A solo player or local duo can share one keyboard, or online players can use their keyboards, utilizing the available controls.

Fireboy Controls

Up Arrow - Jump
Left Arrow - Move Left
Right Arrow - Move Right

Watergirl Controls

W - Jump
A - Move Left
D - Move Right

The goal is to reach the end of each level as a team. All of your stats are displayed around the edges of the screen, and you can track each character's progress. If either character dies during the level, the duo must restart.

Before you begin, the main menu will let you choose your multiplayer setup if you'd like to play with someone else. After you decide, you can select whichever levels are currently available to you. When you pick a level, both characters will spawn near each other, but may be separated by elements in the level. Each character can interact with neutral elements, such as buttons, objects, and switches, to progress through the level. However, there will be collectibles and hazards that only the character sharing the same color will be able to touch safely. Hazards that don't have either color will be dangerous to both. Continue navigating and collecting to open the exit at the end of the level, and ensure both characters reach it safely to complete the level.

Tips and Tricks

Like the other entries in the series, the levels are more about methodical movement than speeding through. You both need to maintain a pace and follow your appropriate paths with your eyes to see how it changes. Communication is key, as you will need to work together to navigate specific parts of the level and reach the exits.
