Cut the Rope HD
A package arrives at your doorstep. Inside is a little green creature called
Omnom, it’s cute and loves candy!
Cut the Rope is a physics puzzle game. Each levels contains a piece of
candy, hung up in one or more ropes. Slice the rope with the touchscreen and
gravity causes it to fall down. The candy interacts with other contraptions on
the stage, such as bubbles that lift it and new ropes that can catch the candy
when falling. But you must watch out for spikes and other dangerous elements
to avoid, as well as falling out at the bottom of the screen. The goal is to
move the candy to your buddy Omnom to feed him.
The levels are divided in “boxes”. Each level contains three bonus stars that
you can grab by simply touching a star with your candy. The levels select
screen shows an overview of the levels you have beaten and how many stars
you’ve gotten. To unlock new level packages you need to obtain a certain
number of stars. To get a highscore you also want to be as fast as possible,
as a time bonus is added to your score when you complete a level.
The initial release had a hundred levels in four boxes: cardboard box, fabric
box, foil box and gift box. Later updates added cosmic box with gravity
reversal buttons, valentine box (released around valentines day 2011) with
halve candy parts that must be joined together, magic box with magic hats that
can teleport the candy, toy box box with platforms that make the candy bounce,
tools box with saws that can be turned by the player, and buzz box with bees
that hold ropes and move at a certain pattern. Even further updates (version
2.0 and above) split the whole game in three season and added more boxes: DJ
box with gramophone records that can be turned by the player in DJ-fashion,
spooky box with ghost that can be changed into different in-game objects by
the player, steam box with controllable blasts of steam, and lantern box which
allows for controlled teleportation of candy. Another addition is a number of
Omnom’s drawings that are hidden in the backgrounds of the levels.
