You Have To Burn The Rope

You Have To Burn The Rope is a flash game by Kianis. It is a parody of boss fights in video games.
== Design ==
You Have To Burn The Rope is an extremely short game. The player starts by walking down a tunnel, with the credits and instructions on the surrounding walls. The player is informed that there is a boss at the end of the hall, that their weapons are useless, and that in order to beat the boss, they have to burn the rope. At this point, the player enters a chamber with a large monster called the Grinning Colossus. Although the monster will approach the player and both the player and the monster can fire projectiles, neither can cause any permanent harm to each other. In order to complete the game, one simply needs to touch a torch, which lights a match, and touch the chandelier above, which will instantly fall and kill the monster. The credits, accompanied by the song Now you're a hero, by Reachground, then roll. Ironically, the credits can last longer than the actual game.
