Fireboy and Watergirl 2: Light Temple
Fireboy and Watergirl 2: Light Temple is the second installment in the classic cooperative puzzle-platformer series. In this adventure, the elemental duo navigates a temple filled with mirrors, light beams, and hazardous pools of water and lava. The core challenge lies in teamwork and coordination, as both characters must reach their respective exit doors to complete a level. While it is designed for two players sharing a keyboard, you can challenge yourself by controlling both characters simultaneously.
The Light Temple introduces light physics as its central mechanic. You will need to carefully angle mirrors and push blocks to reflect beams of light into specific sensors, which open gates and activate elevators. You must also avoid the environmental hazards: Fireboy cannot touch water, Watergirl cannot touch lava, and both characters will instantly fail the level if they fall into the green acid pools.
Controls
- Fireboy: Use the Arrow keys to move and jump.
- Watergirl: Use the WASD keys to move and jump.
Tips that actually help
- Don’t rush the light puzzles: Moving a mirror even a fraction too far can misalign the beam. Make small adjustments when aiming for a sensor.
- Scout ahead: Before dropping down a ledge, look at the pool below. It’s easy to accidentally jump Fireboy into a pool of water if you aren’t paying attention.
- Collect diamonds: While not required to beat a level, gathering all the red and blue diamonds improves your end-of-level rating.
