Gameplay of Fireboy and Watergirl 5
Co-operative Gameplay
Fireboy and Watergirl 5: Elements relies on co-operative gameplay. That means it’s much better to play it along with a friend! Instead of playing against each other, you work together to solve puzzles and move on through the level. The controls are set up so you can both play comfortably on the same device. If you want to play solo, you can still play by controlling both characters at the same time.
Temples
In Fireboy and Watergirl 5 each area contains different elemental challenges for you to overcome. The forest temple is the first region. Here you must use both characters to collect the colored diamonds and get to the end doors. Each area has a different style. The light temple, for example, has beautiful colored lights.
