Cut the rope is a horrible game!

This game is about trapping a poor little animal in a box and then teasing it with candy it is almost as bad as pokemon!

What’s It About?

Kids swipe the screen with their finger to cut dangling ropes that hold candy so that it falls into the mouth of Om Nom, the cute monster that stars in the app. Gameplay requires precision and occasionally quick reflexes -- especially since new challenges like balloons, blowers, spikes, and electrical currents are quickly added to the basic rope-cutting formula. Challenges become progressively harder as the levels progress.

Is It Any Good?

Kids say (5 ):

Om Nom hasn't lost any of his charm. And CUT THE ROPE: EXPERIMENTS proves that developer ZeptoLabs hasn't lost any of its magic. Is this more of the same gameplay as the original Cut the Rope? Sure. However, there are some new mechanics, like a suction cup, but if you played the original, you won't have any trouble getting into the groove here. That's not a bad thing, though, if you've completed the original (and all of its add-ons). There's a thin plot about Om Nom being examined by a genial scientist, who encourages and congratulates the player as you progress. But at its heart, this is a game that uses physics and puzzles wonderfully together and proudly carries on the legacy of its predecessor.

  • Connect gameplay to the physics of everyday life, such as the effects of gravity on heavy items vs. floating objects such as bubbles.

  • Conduct real-life experiments using objects of different weights connected to string and observe how motion affects them.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
