FAQ

Is Fireboy & Watergirl 3 harder than the previous games?

Yes, the ice and snow physics make movement more unpredictable, increasing the difficulty and requiring precise timing.

Not in normal levels, but in white diamond levels, collecting the diamond is required to open the exit door.

Can I replay levels to improve my score?
