Burn the Rope is accelerometer-controlled physics game with a fiery twist. Use your tilt controls to ensure the fire removes all the rope. Very tricky, but featuring tons of levels and a variety of obstacles, Burn the Rope is the best puzzle-based pyromania you can get on the Android Market!

Tested on: HTC Desire HD
Content Rating: Low Maturity

Pros

Insane number off levels (170+)!Cool graphics!Funky soundtrack!Addictive and easy to play!

Cons

Might not be engaging enough for some.

Burn the Rope challenges gamers to burn as much of the rope on each level as possible. Bearing in mind that the rope only burns upwards, you need to move your device around to ensure this happens. Additional controls involve you pressing the screen to increase the burn speed. It’s incredibly simple to pick-up-and-play but very tough to master.

You have at least 170 levels of this fiery goodness to work through and levels get progressively more challenging as you move forward. Bugs are introduced early on and these change the color of the flames and influence gameplay. For example, some colored flames need to burn the same colored ropes for you to pass the level. It’s a slightly bizarre concept, but it works really well and features often very challenging gameplay which is ideal for puzzle fans.

Burn the Rope is available on the Market in a few different flavours. You have the game specifically reviewed here, which is the Papaya mobile enabled version. This is free, and goes somewhat overboard on the ads but free, you can buy extra flames via in-game purchases. Additionally with this version you can share your scores via the Papaya Mobile network. There is also Burn the Rope Worlds which provides about 100 or more new levels. Furthermore, there is Burn the Rope+ which is a paid-for version, without any ads and some 180 levels to work through! Plenty of rope to burn then and more than enough for even the most blazing pyromaniac!

Watch on Mobile

Burn the Rope is undoubtedly lots of fun. Working out the best path for the flames is the first element to this, and manoeuvring your device accurately to accommodate this is secondary.  There is additionally something quite cool and mesmeric about changing the flame color by frying a certain colored bug.

The game is as addictive as it is flammable! It’s simple to play, has more levels than you can throw a burning rope at, has awesome music and brilliant graphics. If you allow, it could consume you.

Graphics are cartoony but fresh and lively. Screens are very smooth and this makes it fun to play.

The music in Burn the Rope is very cool. A kind of broken down funk music with the repeated line of ‘Burn the rope!’ very cool, very catchy… you’ll be humming it (or even singing it in your head) long after you’ve put the game down! I’ll note there is an audio loop glitch you hear from time to time, which should be corrected.
