\n''You Have to Burn the Rope'' is a {{parody}} of {{Puzzle Boss}}es, {{Platform Game}}s, and possibly video games in general, created by "Mazapan." It may also be considered to be the MirrorUniverse version of ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy''.

Saying anything more would ruin the experience, so just play it [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/Mazapan/you-have-to-burn-the-rope here]] or [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/432872 here]]. It's free. And if you want to listen to/download the end credits song, [[http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/134684 here's the link]], but don't do so until AFTER you finish the game or it'll spoil the experience.

Oh and... um, you have to burn the rope. Just sayin'...
