From the team that brought you Thumpies –‘game that reinvented the rhythm genre’; here comes one of the most original games this year. Burn the Rope is a unique game for the pyro in all of us. All you have to do is feed the fire! 

Burn the Rope is a challenging game where you try to burn as much rope as you can in each level. There’s a catch! The fire only burns upwards, leaving you to tilt and turn your phone to keep your flame alive! 

As you progress through the levels, you’ll encounter bugs crawling along the rope. Different bugs have different reactions to the flame. For example, the ant changes the color of the flame so you can burn different colored ropes, and the spider shoots out a web bridge so you can access parts of the level that you could not before. 

Burn the Rope is incredibly fun and addictive. You will actually feel like you’re burning a rope, yet there’s no need for a fire extinguisher!

• 16 exciting levels with more coming soon!

### 5/5 — What happened

*2025-03-08*

I missssss this game, I keep checking back every one in a while to see if I can download it. 😭

### 4/5 — This doesn’t make sense

*2024-01-02*

I loved playing this game as a child and still love this game. However it just doesn’t make sense how it is still on the AppStore. Burn the rope(full version), burn the rope worlds, and burn the rope 3d were removed from the AppStore so why is this app still here?
I really hope these games comes back. Maybe as a collection like nes games did on the Nintendo switch. I still have it and the full version on my old phone. I just don’t have the other 2 games
