Perpetually Confused
I'd sorta disagree and say the game is a definite attempt to cause this trope. Hell, you can't even die.
Gentleman Troper!
The game is a deliberate attempt to be easy, yes. However, this trope is not "a game is easy", but "the audience thinks that an easy game SUCKS". YHBTR doesn't fit this: it is a rather famous and well-liked game.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
It's a parody of the concept, which works just fine for illustrating the trope.
I thought it was a parody of too-easy games, not of too-easy games that make people say it sucks for being too easy?
I think I might actually agree with Spark 9 on this one. It's definitely easy, but most people seem to like it in spite of that, making it a non-example...

Hmmm...the objection is an opinion-based one. And since under YMMV example adding policy, examples don't get removed from someone disagreeing, I'll have to disagree with pulling on these reasons.

No, the other one.
I don't think it's causing any extra misuse, so I don't think it's harmful for the page.

I......really don't know what to think. You Have to Burn the Rope is an obvious satire of games that get flak for being too easy, so in a way, I kiiiiiinda think it doesn't belong, but at the same time, I kinda do.

What I would prefer is, for example, a frame from some gamers-on-a-couch webcomic where the gamers angrily proclaim that such-and-such game is way too easy. Unfortunately I haven't found any good images thereof.

Only "gamers on a couch" webcomic I like is Penny Arcade, but I can't recall any time in which they've blasted a game for being too easy.
I am not familiar with the game depicted by the current image, and I don't think it says "easy" let alone "so it sucks".

The image on It's Easy, So It Sucks! is a picture of a parody game well-known for being excessively easy. However, the game in question is not known for sucking, so it is Not An Example (and even if it were, the picture doesn't show that).
This is an audience reaction, so it should show a reaction to a game rather than just a game by itself.
