It is so desperate that it does not care that the chandelier will die as well indeed, the rope will be happy to have its friend join it in the afterlife. The only possible explanation is this: The rope, tired of being constantly stretched taut, is committing Suicide by Cop. Even if it were to perform a Heroic Sacrifice, it would be far more likely to try and develop a plan that minimize the damage done to the rope (eg, You Have To Untie the Rope). The chandelier, however, is attatched to the rope, indicating a strong friendship between the two. This leaves our speakers as the rope or the chandelier. The Grinning Colossus would have no need of such vocalization, as his grin clearly indicates that he has a mouth of his own. How many items are really in that area? Who could have told you that You Have to Burn The Rope? Now, the instructions appear on the screen without text boxes, which generally indicates a telepathic or omnipresent voice. This theory is made of win! I heartlily salute the troper who proposed it.Most forms of sexuality are symbolized as bad (straight with the main character and the rope, gay with the rope/chandelier and the Grinning Colossus, lesbian with the main character and the symbolic tunnel/room shape, the rope and chandelier look exactly like a really oddly-shaped woman with dozens of limbs that dies while in a bondage situation, and polygamy, as represented by the relation of all the previously mentioned factors), and the very shape of the final dungeon and the long corridor leading to it seems to say 'if you go down this path, bad things will happen.'

The eye-beams are a metaphor for the risk of pregnancy, the collision damage symbolizes how consentual sex has the same potential consequences as rape, and the final battle is reminiscent of conception (a sperm traveling into the womb and attacking an egg) and abortion/contraception (a little pink pill-shaped being goes into same womb and attacks the life inside). You defeat it by using the pink thing to transfer fire, a metaphor for STDs, to the thinner (and possibly shorter) pale-colored rope, which drops an entire chandelier of fire and wax onto the Grinning Colossus, destroying it. It reminded me alot of вЂњStill AliveвЂќ from Portal for some reason, and I found it pretty darn funny.ДЄnyway, the game was ridiculously short (2-4mins) but I found its quirky satire enjoyable and was pretty surprised I had fun with such a short game.The Grinning Colossus, as the final boss, is a huge black phallic symbol. As I was ready to exit my browser, the credits rolled and a quirky, sarcastic, and ultimately pleasing song began. After reflecting upon my actions for a couple of seconds, the screen dimmed and the game was over, I won. I grabbed a torch from the wall, jumped up above the colossus and burned the rope and then I watched as the chandelier being held by the rope came crashing on top of him. I threw my little axes furiously, but try as I may his health always regenerated faster than my axes hurt him, so I bit my pride and followed the advice that was so largely printed. my axes!)ДЄnd then I entered a huge chamber and what I saw shook me to the bone. To kill him you have to burn the rope above (but. You canвЂ™t hurt him with your weapons (weвЂ™ll see about that!)ДЈ. ThereвЂ™s a boss at the end of this tunnel (cool!)Дў.

Cool right? Anyway, so I continued down this strangely linear tunnel and came across large, very not subtle tips as doing so:ДЎ. I fiddled with the controls and foun that pushing any button (well other than arrows to move) made my little pink man throw axes. I clicked to start and was thrust into control of a peculiar little pink man with a black top hat in a linear tunnel. I thought this was a pretty funky title, so I clicked and tried it (well, and it also had an achievement just waiting to be unlocked). One game in particular that caught my eye was вЂњYou Have to Burn the RopeвЂќ. I tend to do most of my flash gaming on (I mean, cвЂ™mon, they give me achievements!). Recently IвЂ™ve been fooling around playing flash games more than usual.
