In Fireboy and Watergirl 5 Elements, players control Fireboy using the arrow keys and navigate Watergirl with the W, A, S, and D keys. Fireboy can safely walk through lava but must steer clear of water, whereas Watergirl is protected from water yet susceptible to fire-based dangers. The mechanics revolve around walking, jumping, and activating levers or buttons. It is simple at first, but requires careful coordination of timing, movement, and character placement.
Unlock exit doors to complete each level
Each level in the Fireboy and Watergirl 5 Elements game requires two characters to collect elemental gems. While Fireboy collects red gems, Watergirl collects blue gems. These gems are necessary to unlock exit doors to complete each level. The player must collect all the gems before either character can exit; once one reaches a door, the other must collect their share. This level will be triggered if Fireboy touches water or Watergirl comes into contact with lava.

The diverse temple settings in the Fireboy and Watergirl 5 Elements game present a wide range of dangers, all grouped under the fitting title Elemental Gauntlet. In the Fire Temple, bubbling lava pools and erratic geysers force players to time their jumps precisely. In water-themed stages, Watergirl can be caught in rapid currents, while rising water levels endanger Fireboy with the risk of drowning. Ice platforms create slippery surfaces that make navigation tricky. The Earth and Wind temples increase the difficulty, with Earth levels featuring rolling boulders, collapsing rocks, and brittle stone paths that demand careful positioning. Wind levels use gusts of wind that can push characters off course or into danger. Additional threats such as poisonous mud pits, spiked floors, moving blocks, and weight-sensitive platforms further challenge the player's coordination.
