You Have to Burn the Rope is a platform game for Adobe Flash developed by Swedish designer Kian Bashiri under the moniker "Mazapán". The game was a finalist for the Innovation Award at the 2009 Independent Games Festival.[1] and received a considerable amount of "Internet buzz" for its humorous gameplay at the time of its release. You Have to Burn the Rope is a brief parody of excessive hand-holding in AAA video games, in which destroying the titular rope is the only way to win and the player is told that fact in advance.
