The name implies that Burn the Rope is gunning for the same folks that freaked for Cut the Rope last year, but with the exception of starring a few miles of string, this is a very different puzzle game. You must torch lengths of rope across 80 stages. When you tap the screen, the fire begins. You must then rotate your iDevice so the flame always has an upward path. If the fire meets a hard right angle or the end of a segment of rope, it goes out in just a few seconds. The need to keep the flame alive by tilting your iPhone around makes Burn the Rope decidedly more complex than Cut the Rope. Timing is everything, especially when your reach puzzles with flammable shapes composed of several lengths of rope. Splitting the flame and keeping multiple fires going is not easy; in fact, it can prove rather frustrating because the amount of rope you burn determines the medal you get for the stage. You will fail and fail often, especially when Burn the Rope introduces colored string segments that can only be burned when your flame is the same hue. (You change the color of your fire by burning colorful ants. Incinerating a blue ant, for example, turns your flame blue.) Of course, complicating Burn the Rope means it’s a much bigger challenge than Cut the Rope, too, which answers some criticism of that breakout hit. You will not breeze through Burn the Rope in a day or two unless you dedicate several hours to it and have no problem accepting a lot of bronze medals. Even more challenge …
