Fireboy and Watergirl: Online Reviews

About two Christmases ago, my two cousins were visiting. One was twenty, and he showed me this game. I played it for hours, and always asked to play it. But when they left, I couldn’t play it any more. I am SO addicted to Fireboy and Watergirl. I tried downloading it on my moms computer multiple times, but get this. U had to play it on a SPECIFIC COMPUTER! I couldn’t play it because my mom’s computer didn’t allow it. Now, I don’t know if this is FireboyandWatergirl or the computer, and if it’s FireboyandWatergirl , then 5 stars! Anyways, one day I was driving to Six Flags with my friend and we were playing on her iPhoneX, and she started playing Fire boy and Water girl! I was like,😱, cause I didn’t know u could play this on an iPad or phone. I told her the whole story, and she showed me how to play it without the keyboard. As soon as I got home, I begged my mom to download it, and she said yes! WWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤓😋😛😝😜🤪😚😙😗😘😍😌😉🙃🙂😇😅😂🤣☺️😊😆😁😄😃😀

The game concept is good (obviously, it’s been proven for years) but the gameplay is lacking in a couple of areas.
1. The mechanics of the game are rough, for example if you land right at the edge of a field of spikes then you aren’t harmed (even if the edge is against a wall and there is no way to rationalize that you actually landed on the safe ground next to the spikes). There are many examples of this and it is the biggest issue. Another is when I set one character on a button and change to another character, often the button is not properly activated and I have to switch back again. Also the beams hanging by chains behave wildly and never seem to calm down—perpetual motion machines? One last example is that the characters can pass almost entirely into the “solid” walls and ceilings.
2. The screen won’t flip upside down if the ipad is flipped—meaning that if I’m charging the device I have to be to the left of the outlet. Kinda silly, but little things make a difference.
3. When holding down the jump button it sounds like it sometimes plays the jumping groan sound effect twice.
4. The graphics are fairly polished but even then there are instances when the terrain blocks are not properly placed and there is a small gap under the ground (I’m not talking about the decorative holes intentionally placed around the perimeter of the caves).

I love fire boy and water girl. It is one of my favorite games. But it could be better. First off, the controls are hard to,well,control. Also the game doesn’t give a tutorial so people who are just finding out about the game will have a harder time than others. I don’t think this is necessary change but I would like it if you actually made it so that you can see fire boy and water girl go through the doors at the end of a level. The last but not least thing I would like to say is that I was playing and enjoying myself a lot but in the level I think it was number 6 or 7 there was a giant chamber of the little potion things that they collect and since I didn’t have a tutorial it was in reachable. It looked like you needed a double jump or something to get up there. I don’t know. But, what I do know is that I want to find out how to get those and I think many others do too. So, in conclusion, keep up the great work and please have an actual person read this and consider it. Thank you and best wishes through this pandemic! Also I am so sorry if you lost someone during Covid. 😞😞

I rlly like this game! Even during quarantine when I call friends I can play this game with them! There is only one problem, though. You should really add a friends list and a button where you could add people as friends, just in case you meet a really nice person! Another thing you could do is add a coin system, which you can get from completing levels in single player or multiplayer! Then you could use the coins to buy the skins instead of using really money, because I know a lot of people really want the skins, but just don’t want to pay! I really appreciate how you brought Fireboy and Watergirl to the AppStore, so everyone can play! Please at least do the friends update! I met this really nice person, which I play with everyday! Also, including with the friends thing, you could do an offline and online thingy to see if they are offline or online, also with a messaging system! Thank you!

When you’rePlaying with random people sometimes the barrel doesn’t mood on one screen and on the other persons screen it does move which confuses both players and you have to restart the game because in chat you cannot say the barrel is on the corner or somthingBut what I’m saying is it’s harder to tell the other people because the chat is so smallI love that there is options so we can be child friendly but I would like more options so you can tell the person that hates the barrel or you need to go back that way because it’s super hard to play with you you don’t know if the chat so little and I would like to be able to say sorry let’s see if you messed up or other things like maybe you could like give them options like it is or some like that because it’s been a lot nicer for the prayers and the experience will be like nicer

Thanks! IT’S A Game over all

Okay I am on level 29 and I am playing on single player. Fireboy has to save watergirl from the other side of the green water stuff. So when the level starts three grey balls start rolling down a hill coming in my direction at the bottom of the screen, so i have fireboy jump up on the steps because there’s a button up there that i thought could save watergirl. When i press on the button as fireboy, the bar thing watergirl is standing on started moving and she is supposed to be moving with it but she is not. She is floating in mid air then she slowly starts moving down into the green water stuff because the bar thing is not under her anymore it is all the way on the other side where she is supposed to be, safe. But she wasn’t. So when I would change to watergirl she would do that screaming thing and then die. And this would happen every time I try to save her and I cannot do anything about it. So you guys really need to fix your glitch problem cause apparently I’m not the only one who has had a glitch problem.!

I love this game! My best friend introduced me to it and I have loved it ever since!! But there are a few things I don’t really like.
1. When I try playing with other people, it usually takes a really long time to find someone, or it doesn’t at all! I don’t know exactly how you could fix that, but I read another review that said maybe there could be a robot or something you could play with and I thought that was really good idea.
2. Sometimes when I am playing with other people the game glitches. Like sometimes when one of us holds down a button and a platform comes down and we get of the button it stays down. Then we have to start over even if we’re really far into a really hard level!!!!!! ( and I know the other person sees it too because sometimes they start jumping on the button trying to get it back up)
3. PLEEEEAAASEE go back to the old design!!! This ones really weird. I liked the old one because it was simple and nice but now the eyes are really weird and I just liked it way more before.

Hey developers! Ive played Fireboy and Watergirl for a very long time now! Playing this was one of my childhood games. I’ve just recently remembered it and decided to download it on my phone. I was having trouble finding it though, mostly because of the new version of it. I’m going to be honest. I’m not a fan of the new version. The animation looks weird and it doesn’t look anything like the Fireboy and Watergirl that I remember. The homepage and..everything. It all looks so different..I don’t know how it looks on the computer though, because I don’t have one. But hopefully it looks like the version I remember it to be. I know you might not care but I remember when my older cousin showed me this game when I was around 5 or 6 years old. I just turned 13 a few weeks ago, so it’s been quite a while. But yeah. I just wanted to say that it looks..different. I guess that’s all I really wanted to say.
Stay safe!!

So what I recommend is that you should put a feature to talk to one another. Why? Because if you could talk to each other it would be easier play to pass levels. Because once I was at level one because I know that more people would be there in multiplayer mode. I went in and one of the players didn't know what to do. So I TRIED to help him but it didn't really work too much. I tried to explain to him why he can't go in my part of the liquid because I was water girl. So I jumped in my side and jumped on his so he knew what happened. So he did exactly what I did! He jumped on my side then on his side and he still didn't understand!!! I would recommend this but only to real life friends because with people you don't know you may have a struggle teaching them what to do.

This game is sooo fun! I remember last year at school me and my friend would always play it together any chance we got! You should really get this game! It may glitch a time or two but it still will never get old! And you can also play it single player and multiplayer! This is a good game to play with a friend especially when you wanna play on your device and your friend doesn’t have one. It’s soo fun and the only thing is that it glitches every once in a while. But as long as you have a good device, it’s so fun! I hope you trust my rating because this game is sooo fun and thee should be no reason why you shouldn’t like it. This is probably the best game I have on my device! Make sure you check out my other favorite games-Mucho Party (I think that’s how you spell it lol) , Roblox, and Covet Fashion!

Alright, first up, this game is amazing. It includes so many levels and when you get to level 20 something you look back and think, “How did I think level 1 was so hard?!” That’s what’s so great about this game. You improve level by level, step by step, gems by gems, and so on.

If you want to by this game, but don’t fully know what it’s about, here’s the game:
So there is a girl who is blue; a boy who is red. There is water that is blue and water that is red. Obviously the girl can only go through the BLUE water, and the boy can only go through the RED.
Then, there are tiny little spaces where the female symbol is in blue, and the male symbol is in red. The point of the game is to get both of them to the one they belong in. The door in front of the little spaces will open when it is the right figure going into the right space.
But it’s not as easy as it sounds: in between the water (by the way there is also green water that neither of them can go in) and the spaces, there are many obstacles, like getting gems, little logs that hang from tops and lower if you stand on them for to long, and of course, the other water(s) that you can’t go in.

Anyways, I really suggest you by this game!

This game is amazing! I love how you can play with friends and family. It’s very fun to see your friends die. The maps are very challenging which is great! There is one problem..there are way to many ads. Once a character dies, a ad pops up. Sometimes, when you beat a level, a ad shows. Plus, some of the ads are WAY to long. I would love this problem to be fixed. Sure there can still be ads, but don’t put so much. Another thing, I know this game is meant to be two player only, but, maybe more friends want to play. I would like to have an option to create a server and pick a number for how many players that can be in the game. Again, I would love if these things could happen.

Dear developer of the game can you add a tutorial for te people who had just downloaded the game because everytime when I don't have anyone to play with I just press the quick join button and when I'm with someone in the game they don't do what they are supposed to do instead they don't jump over my liquid and they die like EVERYTIME I don't think they know what to do and I try to tell go up go down go left but instead they just say go down and I'm like bruh you so can you please add a tutorial for people who had just downloaded the game and make it mandatory you don't have to make it mandatory but it would make it way easier to play. Thank you

This is a pretty decent game overall. The gameplay is nice, but it’s hard to get anything out of the multiplayer unless you have a friend playing online right beside you. A somewhat simple fix for this would be to advertise this game when your budget provides the means to do so. This would bring in more players, so multiplayer would be available to play more often, and it would make you more money in the long run. I have not gotten to try multiplayer on this game yet because of the lack of players, but I would love to once you have a sufficient crowd.
I look forward to seeing the first Fireboy and Watergirl ad soon.
Keep up the work on your game.

I absolutely love F & W but MAJOR glitches. I was playing multiplayer and on level 35 the blocks started flying around and getting stuck in fireboys door. If we did get them onto the button in the pit is would fly out and just fling itself across the screen. The thing that made we stop the game was when it was almost a continuous cycle of starting the game. I was moving back and for about a brick space and fireboy was starting in the middle of the screen and going to his starting spot. Each cycle happened in 1/10 of a second. It was really bad. This happens often that there is a glitch to where a character is but it just does it once. This was the worst and I don't even know if I would recommend this since it is such bad quality 😕😕

This game is awesome! My friend and I play it together all the time and it is very fun to figure out all the puzzles and try to get through all the levels. Every time we get stuck we continue to try or hardest and we don't stop until we finish the level we were confused on. Many people are stuck on level 29 but it isn't too hard. It's a little bit difficult but you will eventually get past it! Water girl has to stand on the platform and when fire boy is standing on the button water girl has to walk with the platform. It is a little bit Challenging but you'll get the hang of it! I love this game!

I just started playing this game. It’s great! But you now how there’s an ad at the end of the level? Once that happened to me and I was done with level 10. I know its easy but after the ad my screen was loading and it restarted it’s self. And then i had to do the level again!👺👺😭. However, on one of the easy levels on multiplayer , people can be such losers. On one of those levels watergirl has to stay on the pressure plate and sometimes the other player will not stand on the pressure plate and me, fireboy can not do the level. And also, watergirl can’t go back up again. But otherwise, very fun game!

I am only giving this game 3 stars because I would change a couple of details. First of all, I do like having private rooms and playing with a friend, but if you didn’t have a mobile call going it would be much harder playing with the small variety of comments FireboyandWatergirl provides.

Second, FireboyandWatergirl has a few major bugs. When playing a character, sometimes it
would fall through the obstacle given which would resort to you having to start the level all over again. Another bug I have run into is how sometimes when you choose to restart the game, the other player would be left out of the gameplay and would stay at the loading screen.

Another problem I had with this game is the ridiculous amount of useless ads played at the end of what seems to be every level. I get that FireboyandWatergirl needs to monetize somewhere, but it just took a lot of enjoyment out of the game.

In conclusion, I would recommend playing this game, although some elements are quite different from the original, but make sure you are aware of the downsides! :)

If you just want to play Fire Boy and Water Girl, go on! You'll have tons of fun, in fact!!...just be sure you aren't easily annoyed by glitches.

The game is a bit buggy. In multiplayer, the characters will sometimes spaz out or appear in the wrong places before getting bungee-corded back to his their position. This has only really affected me twice: once, when the game spawned me and a multiplayer friend not at the start, but stuck in a pit; and another time, same level, when we were totally unable to move. Other glitches involve the levels erroring out a lot when you try to search for other players.

Besides fixing the bugs, there should totally be a better way of searching for players. Like, on the level select screen, there could be an indicator of whether there are currently people waiting to see if others will play the game with them! Little things like that would make a world of difference.

It's a good game, but I really, really hope there are people out there willing to read the reviews because there are DEFINITELY things you guys have to fix.

So I found this game a few months ago and I decided to play it. I didn’t know that it was on the phone until I did get it. So I starting playing and I realized that I was stuck on lvl 37. It’s impossible to beat. And whenever I try to do multiplayer it either takes so long that I quit the game or it takes forever to find someone to play against. I was also wondering if we could have a profile and stuff on this game so that we can search our friends and choose a lvl together or whatever. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense to you. Thank you for your time and have a good day.

I want to give this game a 0 but I can’t so I have to give it a one. For some reason my brother got this game but soon after he was traumatized from how bad it was. The game is the worst game I have actually ever seen and this game takes away your battery so much. My battery was 100 then after entering the game for 2 seconds it was 34. This game is so bad it made my entire family have a seizure. Also whenever I complete a level, there is an ad which makes no sense. The levels are absolute crap, and when I complete a level it’s supposed to be a celebration and victory, not more crap by watching tons of ads. Delete this game and take it off FireboyandWatergirl Store or i will come to your house at night and use my water and fire powers to rig you up. This game is so bad I will give some examples of how bad it is. This game tried to buck your julie, but the julie has already been bucked. This game is so bad that the sheckers already got shecked. And worst of all this game is so bad that it played amogs BEFORE it pooped. So this is why this game is dog water. Waterboy and firegirl more like I’m going to flood your house with water and then burn it down with fire

I like the game enough to play for a few hours at a time. I like that we can play with other people but I do have a few things that would make that a lot easier for the players.
1. Friend requests
It would be great if we can friend people bc I found somebody who I connected with well and I’d like to play with them again.
Also if you do add friends it would be cool if we can chat like “hi” and “let’s play” that would be fun. You can invite them to your game and see if they are playing or not.

2. More chat options
I like that you guys added the chat bc it makes things easier but I wish there was more options and things to say.
I felt like I need to say sorry a lot so sorry should definitely be one.
Sorry, it’s okay, you’re welcome, goodbye/gotta go, come here, yes, no, help, are all things I found myself wishing I was able to say. That would make everything a lot more clear and easy instead of having to move odly or saying things that don’t make sense to try to get the other player to understand.

So far those are all the suggestions I have in mind. Hope you guys can see this!
