About Fireboy and Watergirl 7: And Friends
The cast keeps growing in Fireboy and Watergirl 7: And Friends. On top of the familiar fire and water pair, three new companions join the expedition through another temple, each helping to crack puzzles, beat the clock and gather diamonds. With more characters in play, rooms are designed around bigger teamwork, and figuring out who should go where becomes a puzzle in itself.
You get 36 new levels built on levers, buttons and careful coordination. A friend can share the keyboard with you, and since the new companions have their own keys, there's always something for every hand to do. It's a busier take on the series than the two-hero games, which makes it a great pick for players who have mastered the classic formula and want a more crowded, more strategic challenge.

Tips and tricks
- Work out which character needs to reach each switch before anyone moves; with more heroes on screen, planning beats improvising.
- With two players, split the arrow keys and WASD, then agree who handles G, Y and J when the friends need to move.
- Move the friends into position early so they're ready when a door or platform needs to open.
- If a perfect score feels out of reach, collect the diamonds on one run and focus on speed on the next.
