"This time you will not get away with just burning a rope. Then you burned The Rope and save us all.īut how are you going to spend the rest of this day? The battle between the Hero and the Colossus, with Axes and Hacking AfterĪfter you beat the game the creator added a 5 minute song singing your praises on how you beat him. That doesn't stop people however, as the guy in the video below attempted such a feat, going so far as to hack the game, and yet, in the end, he still had to burn the rope. The axe defeat, you know, what the game itself says is impossible. Even a game as simple, or hard if you don't attention to the title, as YHTBTR has such a claim.

It over discusses everything you did in the game, and then continues to inform you about your other options. ![]() Why? Because the song is longer than the game. In the end though, the killer of it is the song. ![]() The fact that the game is precisely what it tells you and then reinforces that with no other commentary makes it the surprise. ![]() Games aren't supposed to be as simple as dumb as they tell us right from the moment we read the title.
