Fireboy and Watergirl 2: The Light Temple Unblocked — Play Free Online

Fireboy and Watergirl 2: The Light Temple is a two-character puzzle platformer where one player guides a fire spirit and the other a water spirit through a temple of chambers. The sequel to the Forest Temple swaps the vine-and-lever puzzles for something more visual: beams of light that have to be bounced around each room with mirrors and rotating panels before anything will open.

Each chamber is a small, self-contained puzzle with two exit doors, one for each character. A level only ends when both characters are standing in front of their doors, so the real skill is coordination rather than speed. It is slower and more thoughtful than the timing games that make up most of this site, which is exactly why it makes a good change of pace after a run of reflex-heavy levels.

Because it was designed for two people on one keyboard, it works best with a friend beside you. Played solo, you switch between both characters and plan the whole route in your head, which is a different and equally rewarding puzzle.

How to play

Fireboy uses the arrow keys. Watergirl uses W, A and D. Both characters walk and jump, and both can push mirrors and pull levers. The goal in each room is to get a light beam onto the sensors that unlock the doors and platforms, then bring both characters to their exits.

• Fireboy can cross lava safely, while Watergirl can cross water safely.
• Each of them is hurt by the other's element, so a stray step into the wrong pool restarts the level.
• The green goo is deadly to both characters, so someone always has to find a way around it.
• Mirrors and rotating panels redirect the light. Moving one changes where the beam lands, so check the sensors after every push.

Tips

• Trace the beam with your eyes from the source to the sensor before touching anything. Knowing which mirror must go where saves a lot of aimless pushing.
• Remember that a mirror you push for one character may block the other's path. Park it where it works for the light and for the walkway.
• If a room feels impossible, ask what only one of the two characters can reach. Usually one of them has to open the way for the other.
• When playing alone, finish one character's part of the route, then switch, instead of moving both a little at a time.

Similar games on A Dance of Fire and Ice

A Dance of Fire and Ice, the headline game here, is all about rhythm and precise timing, so it asks for quick hands where this temple asks for patience. Two Button Bounce is another simple-controls game, but it is a solo reflex challenge. Level Devil is a platformer that punishes you with traps rather than puzzles, so it suits players who like trial and error. The fire-and-ice shelf also holds the other Fireboy and Watergirl temples if you want to keep going with the same pair.

It suits anyone who likes co-operative puzzles, a session of a few levels at a time, and a game that runs in the browser with nothing to install.
