Fireboy and Watergirl 5: Elements
Imagine an indie game with endless replayability, one that has shaped a generation's childhood memories and taught millions the importance of teamwork. We're talking about Fireboy and Watergirl.
Fireboy and Watergirl 5: Elements takes the beloved duo on a new adventure filled with puzzles that require teamwork. With 62 exciting levels, you'll learn valuable life lessons about cooperation (or just see how your partner handles pressure :D), all while enjoying a fantastic game.
The levels are set in temples themed after different elements, introducing new obstacles and mechanics.
Players control both characters, using Fireboy's ability to pass through lava and Watergirl's power to move through water.
From levers and boxes to light sensors and crystal teleporters, each puzzle demands complex problem-solving skills and collaboration.

How to Play Fireboy and Watergirl Elements
- Guide Fireboy and Watergirl through temples by solving puzzles and avoiding hazards.
- Fireboy can walk on lava, while Watergirl can move through water, but neither can walk through green goo.
- Most puzzles require both characters to interact with the environment by moving boxes, activating switches, or reflecting light with mirrors.
- If you're playing solo, you'll need to switch between characters to progress through each level.
- Regular levels include optional red and blue diamonds to collect, while white diamond levels require players to find a specific white diamond to proceed.
Elemental Temples
In the fifth game, developer Oslo Albet introduces us to the 7 great temples.
- Forest Temple: Both characters should move cooperatively to finish levels. Tools and obstacles are similar to other FBWG games: Lava, lake, goo, boxes, and switches. This temple contains 10 levels.
- Fire Temple: Fireboy is completely free to move around in this all-lava temple. He assists Watergirl by carrying boxes and toggling switches to help her overcome obstacles. Fire Temple has 8 levels.
- Water Temple: Watergirl can go everywhere in the level as there are many lakes. She helps and guides Fireboy to the end gate. Water Temple contains 9 levels.
- Light Temple: Lights activate things in the level. Characters use mirrors to redirect light and open gates or activate switches. Light Temple has 9 levels in total.
- Ice Temple: Fireboy can slide quickly on ice but can't climb snowy slopes; meanwhile, Watergirl can walk through water and climb snow but is slowed by ice. This temple introduces melting and freezing lights. There are 9 levels in total.
- Wind Temple: Characters use wind blowers to reach higher spots, but the wind also blocks their path sometimes. This mechanic creates both advantages and blockages in the levels. Wind Temple has 8 levels.
- Crystal Temple: Both characters can use portals to teleport to different spots on the level. Some portals need to be activated with switches. 9 levels are available in this temple.
Editor's Note
Fireboy and Watergirl bring back my childhood memories of when my sister and I would huddle together in front of our old, chunky desktop. We spent hours—sometimes giggling and other times bickering—as we tackled every level we could find online.
On a deeper level, Fireboy and Watergirl beautifully illustrate the power of cooperation. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses, but when we combine them, we create a powerful synergy. It's a reminder that no mission is impossible when we work together.
To this day, Fireboy and Watergirl have captured the hearts of many and been the reason for falling in love with gaming. We're proud and excited to introduce you to the fifth installment of the series, available for free on AnimalGames.cfd. We hope you enjoy playing the game as much as my sister and I did years ago!
