Fireboy and Watergirl is a cooperative puzzle-platform game developed by Oslo Albet. It centers on two characters, fireboy and watergirl, who have distinct abilities based on their elements: fire and water. The game is designed for two players, each controlling one character, or a single player can control both simultaneously using different keys.
Gameplay Mechanics:

- Watergirl can walk through water pools safely but is vulnerable to fire and lava.
- Both characters can be harmed by green goo, which is hazardous to both.
Players navigate through a series of levels filled with puzzles and obstacles. These levels often require the two characters to work together to solve puzzles involving levers, platforms, and buttons to open doors and move forward. Each level may include elements like mirrors, lasers, and ice, challenging players to use the unique skills of both Fireboy and Watergirl to succeed.
