A quirky game to waste your time [Minimalistic Genius]

Here’s a neat little game to keep yourself occupied for… oh, about a minute. However, don’t use the brevity of You Have To Burn The Rope as a guideline for greatness – this gem is packed with narrative genius!

Slightly resemblant of the internet’s darling, Portal, You Have To Burn The Rope’s mechanics is simple to understand and uncluttered, and it is perhaps the simplicity (or my interest in minimalism) that really makes you appreciate the raw basics of gaming. The game makes a bold statement in a very aesthetic and easy to understand way, and in all rights, the flash plays out more like an interactive movie, complete with humorous credit music. In my opinion, Burn The Rope is really a testament against the rising complexity of graphics and narrative in gaming today, and is a great little quip to really make you appreciate the simplicities and bare essentials.

Oh, and here’s a fun little fact – Several sites have posted walkthroughs, in case you get stuck.
