Fireboy and Watergirl 2: Light Temple brings the classic cooperative platforming of the original game into a new environment centered around manipulating light. You and a partner control two elemental characters who must work together to reach the exit of each level. Fireboy can walk through lava but dies in water, while Watergirl can wade through pools of water but evaporates in lava. Both characters instantly die if they step in the green toxic ooze.
The main twist in the Light Temple is the introduction of light beams and mirrors. Instead of just pulling levers and pushing buttons, you will need to push mirrored boxes to reflect light into specialized sensors. Activating these sensors opens doors, moves elevators, and clears the path forward. It requires careful coordination, as one character often has to hold a mirror in place while the passes through the newly opened path.
Controls
- Fireboy: Use the Arrow Keys to move and jump.
- Watergirl: Use the W, A, S, D keys to move and jump.
Tips
- Examine the light paths first: Before moving any mirrors, trace where the light needs to go to hit the sensor. It is often easier to position the final mirror in the chain before setting up the first one.
- Use teamwork for jumps: In some levels, a character might need a slight boost to reach a high platform or grab a diamond. You can use one character's head as a stepping stone.
- Boxes block light: Regular boxes can interrupt a light beam. You can use this to your advantage to temporarily disable a light-triggered trap.
