Red Boy and Blue Girl

This is the elemental-pair co-op format: two characters, each immune to one hazard and blocked by another, must both reach their exits. Whether solo (switching control) or with a partner, the core is coordination — one crosses a hazard the other cannot and then operates a switch that opens the path for the second. The puzzle is order: one character usually has to set up the route before the other can follow, so rushing one ahead strands the other. Planning both routes before committing either is the discipline that clears levels.

This title is best suited to players who enjoy coordination puzzles, especially with a second player.

1. Send each character only through the hazard it is immune to.
2. Work out the movement order — one usually clears the path for the other.
3. Operate switches with whichever character can safely reach them.
4. Advance both toward their exits together rather than rushing one.

• One character on arrow keys, the other on WASD, or switch control in solo play

Objectives

• Get both characters to their exits
• Sequence their moves so each opens the path for the other

The run ends or fails when

• A character entering a hazard it is vulnerable to
• Stranding one by advancing the other too far

• Two characters with complementary hazard immunities
• Switches requiring the correct character
• Move sequencing as the core puzzle
• Both-exits win condition

• Plan both routes before moving either. Rushing one strands the other.
• Match character to hazard: never send one into the element that kills it.
• It is a sequencing puzzle, not a platformer. The order of moves is the solution.
