Fireboy and Watergirl 5

Fireboy and Watergirl 5 is the fifth chapter of the series, and this time there is not one temple but several. The Fire, Water and Wind temples each run on their own rules. It plays safely in your browser with nothing to install.

What Fireboy and Watergirl 5 changes

Earlier chapters kept you inside a single building. Here you pick your destination from the temple menu, and every temple carries its own set of traps. Air currents lift you in the wind temple, while icy rooms make the floor slide.

Rooms have more than one door, so the route to the exit is not always single. Levers and pushable crates do far more work in this chapter; shoving a crate into the right spot turns an unreachable platform into an easy step.

What changed in co-op

The controls have swapped since the previous chapter: the fire character now sits on the arrow keys and the water character on W, A and D. Fire can walk through lava and water can cross pools, but green goo stops them both.

Why kids like it

Being able to jump to any temple from the menu takes the sting out of getting stuck. If one room wears you down, wander into another temple and come back later. Levels stay short and most fall in a few attempts.

Is it safe?

The scenes are calm, the music is soft and nothing unsettling appears. A mistake makes the character vanish and the room reopens from the start. Suitable for ages 7 and up.

6. Two doors at once: The room clears when each character reaches their own exit.

• Account for the wind: Air currents stretch your jump, so check their direction before you leap.
• Place crates early: Push a crate into position before moving on, since coming back later wastes time.
• Brake on ice: Release the key early on slippery floors and let the character slide the last stretch.
• Try the branches: If a room has two doors, both may work, so take the easier one.
• Agree on an order: Deciding who goes first stops you both jamming into the same narrow gap.

• Three new temples: Fire, Water and Wind sections each arrive with their own mechanic.
• Branching paths: Rooms with several doors give you more than one route to the exit.
