![]() ![]() The chandelier, however, is attatched to the rope, indicating a strong friendship between the two. This leaves our speakers as the rope or the chandelier. The Grinning Colossus would have no need of such vocalization, as his grin clearly indicates that he has a mouth of his own. How many items are really in that area? Who could have told you that You Have to Burn the Rope? Now, the instructions appear on the screen without text boxes, which generally indicates a telepathic or omnipresent voice. The rope wants to get burned.Think about it. This theory is made of win! I heartlily salute the troper who proposed it.Most forms of sexuality are symbolized as bad (straight with the main character and the rope, gay with the rope/chandelier and the Grinning Colossus, lesbian with the main character and the symbolic tunnel/room shape, the rope and chandelier look exactly like a really oddly-shaped woman with dozens of limbs that dies while in a bondage situation, and polygamy, as represented by the relation of all the previously mentioned factors), and the very shape of the final dungeon and the long corridor leading to it seems to say "if you go down this path, bad things will happen." The eye-beams are a metaphor for the risk of pregnancy, the collision damage symbolizes how consentual sex has the same potential consequences as rape, and the final battle is reminiscent of conception (a sperm traveling into the womb and attacking an egg) and abortion/contraception (a little pink pill-shaped being goes into same womb and attacks the life inside). You defeat it by using the pink thing to transfer fire, a metaphor for STDs, to the thinner (and possibly shorter) pale-colored rope, which drops an entire chandelier of fire and wax onto the Grinning Colossus, destroying it. At the end you are greeted with the best song ever, a song about how you took that fire, and you jumped upwards, and you burned the rope, and you killed the Grinning Colossus, you beat the whole damn game and now you have nothing to do in your day, maybe click refresh and play again, maybe watch some videos, but either way we're happy you made it.You Have to Burn the Rope is a treatise against sexuality, or at least polygamy.The Grinning Colossus, as the final boss, is a huge black phallic symbol. Congratulations, you saved the world, a hero is you, have a nice day. You have to jump up like a hero, and grab the fabled "the fire" and you know what you must do next.you have to jump up more, and burn the rope, thus ending the Grinning Colossus' reign of terror! You win. The Grinning Colossus will fire, razor.things at you with which make you drop the fire, in which case you have to go and get another, simple right? WRONG! I mean right. Basically in the game you have to valiantly travel out of a dark cavernous hall and emerge into the Grinning Colossus' chamber! Your axes do literally nothing because normal weapons cant hurt the Grinning Colossus. The gameplay is phenomenal, its just, wow, simple arrow keys are move, space is jump and any other button is throw axe. You are a small pink dot guy, who wears a hat and carries around throwing axes, that's pretty much it, he obviously portrays the working class man, struggling against a rather dauntingly large adversary, the rich, played here by the simply terrifying Grinning Colossus obviously as his big ornate chandelier must have cost much, I really think this game portrays this struggle very very well. YHTBTR is a short platformer game by Mazapan, I know nothing about Mazapan or who he is, but he made it, soooo, yeah. ![]()
