This is my game 'You Have To Burn The Rope'. Use arrowkeys

I don't understand this. It's a game? It's more like a music video. :D

I'm not sure why (could be this computer) but for some reason the game basically locks down everything and I have to close down the window. I push right and it teleports into a wall and stays there. There must be a script running somewhere that is really slowing things down. It could be that complicated animation banner you have at the top of your page im not sure. I'll see if it works at home, but this computer here is probably more of the type of PC most casual users have...

I had the same problem : wouldn't play in FF or IE : it would instantly teleport me against the left or right wall - end the end song would be playing right away - I'm sure it's not a computer speed issue ( I have a Quad Core / Vista / GeForce 8800 GTX ) but there might be something to test with Flash Player version

I downloaded the game, and it worked fine : it's really fun, I agree with Blink ; you are bound to turn this into a real game now :)
It reminded me the Portal ending, in the tongue in cheek fashion...

Cheers, you have achieved something that is very likely going to be extremely viral!

ROFL! Awesome song. :D

Funniest game I've played in a while. It's a shame that the concept revolves around such a short game, because I actually would've really liked to keep playing a bigger game. It's well polished too.

Good job.

Love it.

Gotta ask, was the end inspired by Valve's Portal at all? =p

This happens to me too, no idea what could cause it. FF 2 and IE 7 both do that

A fun game. I take it by the comments that I need to play this with sound?

I'm at work, y'see.

Cool game dude!

Can you give me the source code .. ?

Thanks for all the awesome feedback! :D

Frag: My friend Henrik who made the music
was indeed inspired by Still Alive. He actually
sent a beta of the game to Jonathan Coulton, which
responded 'Nice work! That game is even shorter than portal ;)'
You can download the song from Henrik's site btw.

I'm very concerned about the 'speed issues' :s I've seen it once
and it's very strange as it makes the game actually run at an
incredible speed, collision detection and AI seems to work as expected, but
much faster. There's nothing weird in there, it's just an Event.ENTER_FRAME handler

BlinkOk: The scrolling is jerky? Hmph. Maybe it's because of my header-thingy, it's quite intense. But it stops after a few seconds. The bitmapscroller should be very fast, it just bitmapData.scrolls the pixels and fills in (copyPixels) the new areas.

loved this!

cute and perfectly formed

it's got what's missing from practically every other flash game out there - personality!

runs at a fine pace on a slow pc

I think the teleport/lock up/end music playing early thing is a flash player issue - it happened to me too until I updated the player in firefox

I absolutely love it.

And you chose a good time to release it.

Kianis is a lie! Jonathan Coulton was impressed by this rope game and e-mailed me "Still Alive" wasn't it so?

No...no...no!!! Sorry, I've promised my therapist that I'd tell the truth. :xbones: From now on there will be no more lies.

Go to:

http://www.reachground.se/2008/03/31...burn-the-rope/

and download the song. That way you can dance/sing to it whenever you want.:smoov:

Enjoy!

Thanks Mentuat :D And yeah, I really hope it got something to do with
the flash player

Taels: Thank you :) Haha, it was actually not intentional

Hahah. I get home and it works on this computer and then it lasts for 10 seconds?
That seems like a good engine if you're gonna make it longer

Darn it, that's hard! How do you get past the robot in level 10? I pulled the lever in the castle tower and freed the prisoners in the dungeon. The Alien spaceship has been catapulted into space but I can't get past that darn robot...and of course it's the only thing the walkthrough didn't explain...not even the german one! :D

Nice one...besides from the fun of completing a game, which is a seldom pleasure for me, I do think this game has potential for a lot more :)

SPOILER!!

Did you forget to milk the cow? After the second meadow behind the yellow dragon. A little to the left. Then take the milk to the shopkeeper in Snowy Hills. That's how you obtain the key.

Totally unplayable in any form :\

I tried downloading it, running it in a window all its own, tried my laptop, no go on anything.

Looks to me like you're using setIntervals to handle the animation. If thats the case, make sure there's no instances where they're getting overlapped...

Wonderful game, first game I finish since a long time :)
04-03-2008, 05:36 PM
Kianis

jonnyblazedx: No, there's no setIntervals in the entire game, there's nothing unusual at all. This is killing me, I have no idea what's causing this. What version of the flash player are you using? Try updating it (see Mentuat's post).

Thanks everyone else for playing and commenting :)
