Fireboy & Watergirl: Forest Temple Unblocked — Play Free Online

Fireboy & Watergirl: Forest Temple is the puzzle-platformer that started the Fireboy and Watergirl series, and it is nothing like a tower defense game. That is exactly why it fits next to Bloons TD: where the Bloons games reward planning from a distance, this one rewards talking to the person sitting beside you. Two characters share one screen, each with their own element, and neither can finish a room alone.

Each level is a small chamber of stone ledges, pools, buttons and levers. Fireboy and Watergirl both start on the ground and both have to reach their own exit door. A session feels like a series of short riddles: look at the room, work out who goes first, and find the order of moves that gets two bodies across hazards that only one of them can survive.

How to play

Fireboy uses the arrow keys and Watergirl uses W, A, S and D. One person can steer both characters by taking one hand per side, but the game is built for two people at one keyboard.

• Fireboy can swim through lava and is destroyed by water.
• Watergirl can swim through water and is destroyed by lava.
• The green pools are deadly to both, so they are crossed by jumping over them, never through them.
• Red gems belong to Fireboy and blue gems to Watergirl. Collecting them is optional for finishing a level, but it matters for your rating.
• Both characters must be standing at their own exit doors for the level to end.

Buttons and levers open gates or move platforms, and many rooms need one character to hold a button down while the other walks through. Touching the wrong pool restarts the level, which costs seconds rather than progress.

Tips

1. Before moving, trace both routes to the doors with your eyes. Most rooms have one character who has to go first to unlock the other.
2. Whoever is stuck standing on a button is your anchor. Send the free character ahead, then swap roles when there is a second button.
3. Jump distances are fixed, so if you keep falling short of a ledge, take a step back and approach with a running start instead of a standing jump.
4. Collect gems on the way only when the detour is safe. A clean finish beats a risky full set.

Similar games on Bloons TD

If you want something strategic after a round of co-op, Bloons TD and Bloons TD 4 are the classic place to go back to, with lanes of balloons and towers to upgrade. Cursed Treasure 2 and Castle Defender Saga keep the defense idea but add their own twists on how you spend money and what you defend. Fireboy & Watergirl: Forest Temple is the one here that needs a second person.

It suits short sessions well: levels are brief, nothing needs to be installed, and it runs in a desktop browser with a shared keyboard.
