Players use the keyboard to control both characters in Fireboy and Watergirl 1. In two-player mode, Fireboy is usually controlled by the arrow keys (up, down, left, right) to move and jump. Watergirl, on the other hand, is controlled using the W, A, S, and D keys for movement and actions. To play single-player, you need to switch between the two characters whenever you need to solve each part of the cooperative level. The controls are simple and responsive, allowing players to focus on coordination, flipping switches, climbing bridges, avoiding colored traps, and placing levers wisely to clear the way.

Fireboy can walk through red flames, coal dust, and yellow sunlight without taking damage. However, he will be destroyed if he steps into a lake or blue lava. In Fireboy and Watergirl 1, Fireboy's main job is to press red switches to unlock paths for Watergirl and the team. He can go through red areas that Watergirl cannot touch, open the corresponding door, and move forward. Controlling Fireboy requires careful calculation, ensuring he does not touch forbidden substances, such as lakes or green. More entertaining games: Paper IO 2
In contrast to Fireboy, Watergirl can move through lakes and green background areas that Fireboy cannot. Her job is to trigger green switches to unlock the matching green doors. Watergirl also cannot come into contact with red fire or yellow sunlight. Moreover, she can also use water to make levers work or help Fireboy reach higher ground through water. Good coordination between Watergirl and Fireboy's actions is the key to passing many screens that require close cooperation in Fireboy and Watergirl 1.
