You Have to Burn the Rope

Posted on Monday, March 31st, 2008 at 2:39 am

When my friend Kian showed me a draft of the idea to this game, I was stunned. It’s so simple yet clever. You Have to Burn the Rope is a fantastic piece of art. I was given the honor of composing the music to the game.

I love it! :D

Who made the in-game music? The music when the hero is running down the tunnel and then the music loop in the boss level.

Thanks!

I also thought “Flight of the Conchords” when I heard “Now You’re a Hero”.

Excellent work, and an ace song. :-)

dsrtrosy:

Very nice…I really like the dissonance in the first verse. Honestly, gave me chills the first time I heard it. “This is it, I swear it’s true”–so funny. I never play games with sound on, but there is so much buzz about your song I had to come check it out. Thanks for the iTunes download.

I’m glad you have an itunes version, because I am going to sleep with this song playing on my ipod on repeat over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over………

So I was sitting in my room, bored out of my mind, when my friend msgs me and says “you have to play this game.” A truly short game it was, and quite epic. All your music really tied it together nicely, and added a wonderful effect. I hope to hear more from you in the future!

Hey, I listened to your song ‘Now you’re a hero’ all the time since this morning. Do you think you can publish an instrumental version? Would be fun to use in small films (will be credited ofcourse) just like ‘Cave’.
I’m looking forward to your answer! ;D
