Fireboy and Watergirl 1: Forest TempleControl Fireboy and Watergirl in this co-op puzzle platformer to press buttons, flip levers, dodge toxic slime, and clear all 32 Forest Temple chambers.
Fireboy and Watergirl 1: Forest Temple
Fireboy and Watergirl 1: Forest Temple is the classic co-op puzzle platformer that established the popular series. Players control two elemental partners working in sync to navigate an ancient temple packed with pressure plates, moving levers, mirror pools, and deadly hazards. Fireboy moves through fiery red pools unharmed but vaporizes instantly in water, while Watergirl glides across liquid blue pools but dissolves in fire. Both elements must avoid lethal green toxic slime.
Each stage tests spatial problem-solving and communication. One character must stand on a wall button or hold a lever to raise a barrier while the other scrambles across to unlock the next corridor. Success requires guiding both elemental heroes safely to their designated exit doors while collecting red and blue diamonds along the path. Whether played solo by managing both characters on one keyboard or co-op with a friend, clearing the temple demands precise timing and team coordination.
Controls

Temple Puzzle Strategies
- Cross Hazards Separately: Never jump across mixed pools at the exact same time. Move one character across first to secure stable footing before guiding the second character past the hazard.
- Hold Switches for Your Partner: Certain levers and floor buttons only remain active while occupied. Position one character firmly on the pressure plate until your partner reaches the upper ledge.
- Collect Color-Matched Gems: Fireboy collects red diamonds while Watergirl collects blue diamonds. Gather them along your route to achieve top level ratings without taking unnecessary risks over green slime.
- Watch Out for Green Goo: Green acid pools destroy both Fireboy and Watergirl on contact. Treat green pools as absolute no-go zones regardless of which character you are controlling.
Fireboy and Watergirl 1: Forest Temple offers 32 distinct puzzle chambers to master, providing an engaging cooperative challenge for players of all skill levels.
