![]() The fact that lynching is another kind of torture involving a rope should be noted as well. This is especially so in the Grinning Colossus' death animation. When looking at the Grinning Colossus, you can see these characteristics (black body, bulging eyes, twisted mouth in agony) showing through almost exactly as they are described. I'd rather not include a picture, so this description will have to do. "Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze / Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees / Pastoral scene of the gallant South / The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth" ( ) Billie Holiday's infamous Strange Fruit, a song about lynching African Americans in the South, includes these lines: Another possible interpretation of the Grinning Colossus' appearance can be representative of the victim of a lynching. You can try to kill it with your weapons, but even if you do somehow manage to get it down to 0 health it still survives (which can be done via a hack seen here: ), which is another Sisyphean torture in itself. If you look at its expression closely, it doesn't look like the Grinning Colossus is grinning at all, but rather like it's constantly screaming out in agony (driving home the torture theme). In any other context, it would make a good monster in a typical creepypasta. It is a giant, pitch-black mass with only a mouth and bulging eyes that can't be killed by your weapons. The main enemy of YHTBTR (and the only other character present) is called the Grinning Colossus. The idea that Bowler Hat appears hollow, and therefore easily suggestible, is important as well and will come up later. This is to represent Bowler Hat as the typical video game character as well as an ethereal soul. This character ("Bowler Hat") has an appearance that is similar to the original Kirby sprites from older Kirby games, except that Bowler Hat has a hollow, ghost-like expression on its face. The protagonist of You Have To Burn The Rope (YHTBTR) is a circular pink creature with a bowler hat. TL DR - You Have To Burn The Rope alternate analysis Note: You don't have to believe, or even like everything in this interpretation, but it does make the game a lot more interesting. Or, at the very least it is about a cyclical, Sisyphean game with images and themes of torture, descent, the occult, and repetition. You Have To Burn The Rope is about a video game hell. That alternative interpretation is as follows: While that is true, there is a possible interpretation of the game that might make you look at it in a different light and perhaps give you more enjoyment out of its 2 minute-long playtime. It really is simplistic, and according to the creator, it is meant to be. Ī lot of people complain about You Have To Burn The Rope for being too short or too simple of an experience.

And you knew you were right.Īt the end there is joy.For the lazy/people who have trouble reading with the black background: It was just to big and you were too ignorant to see it. ![]() What you didn’t realise was that the answer was right before your eyes all the time. The problem regenerates no matter what you do. What do you do? You try to fight it, you really take out your best ammunition and throw it at the problem. But then…BOOM! You’re stuck with your worst nightmare and can’t go back. The tunnel are the dark times, you don’t want to go through it, but you have to if you want see the light at the end. It’s rough on the little pink fellow that lands so hard. In the beginning, when you fall, I sometimes feel like I want to cry. To add to the thread, I took the journey through the tunnel many many times to see if the music worked with the game as I’ve planned. Zlicer: I appreciate the thought, you’re a real hero, but I managed to post it before you :)
