Congratulations! You found the secret.

You Have to Burn the Rope is a platform game for Adobe Flash developed by Swedish designer Kian Bashiri under the moniker "Mazapán". It's been called a parody of the excessive hand-holding that takes place in AAA games, wherein you frequently know what you're supposed to do before you do it.

I don't really feel that that's all there is to it, and having played the game through a few times I can confidently say it has a lot to teach us about the world and how it works. Either way it's an interesting little game, and I think we both have too much time on our hands, yes?

I'll update this page so you can see more of the game as we go. Oh, though you'll need some way to know, wouldn't you? Let me think about that for a moment...

I've got it. You'll know it's done because I'll change the poll header to say "UPDATE!!!" instead of "DECIDE!!!" I can easily do that much without breaking any rules.

Thanks for listening to me. Let's go ahead and play the game, shall we?
