You Have to Burn the Rope is a very short platformer video game developed and published by Kian Bashiri as a free browser game on 2008-02-05. It was programmed in Flash.

As the title suggests, the game requires the player to burn a rope. The game can purposely designed to be especially short and parody the hand-holding which had become popular in game design of the time. It still meets all the qualifications of a game despite the fact that it is typically beaten in under a minute.

Personal

Own?	No. The game was never sold.
Won?	Yes.
Finished	Around 2008.

Not too long after this game was released, a co-worker told me about it, so I played it and beat it.

Good

• The graphics are cute and the concept is charming.
• The ending song by Henrik Nåmark is enjoyable.

Bad

• Nothing.

Ugly

• It's hard to really even call this a "game" since it can be beat in a matter of seconds. It's really more of a joke game. The credits are even longer than the game!
