About a year ago I decided to remake the classic flash game 'You Have To Burn The Rope' using GameMaker. I used the original ActionScript source code as a base, and kept everything 1:1 where possible. I finished it in less than a week, but only had it on GitHub until now.

For those who don't know the original - it's a legendary one-minute platformer from 2008 that became an internet meme. The title literally tells you how to beat the boss, and after you win, you're treated to the most over-the-top victory song ever written for such a short game.

What's new in this remake:

• Full gamepad support with rumble feedback
• Built-in speedrun timer with splits
• Quick restart functionality
• Audio toggles for music and SFX

I got the original developer Kian Bashiri's approval for this, which honestly made my whole year.

It's completely free and runs in browser. If you've never experienced this piece of Flash game history, now's your chance!

Yeah, the example project works. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. No matter which preset object I put in my room, the screen just goes all black. I'm making sure to put it in the first(and only) room in my game and it's first in the instance order.

EDIT: Just had to change the aspect ratio and game_width and height in the variable defs for the preset, working great now. Thank you

That one is even more broken :/

Makes everything black.

EDIT: Fixed it. Good plugin.
