Cut the Rope

Cut the Rope – Puzzles galore!

There’s a very good reason why this game happens to be one of the most popular crazes on the Apps store... it’s brilliant!

Now I’ve got your attention - for anyone who’s not downloaded or played this game, you really should stop missing out any longer. The game is a puzzler of the highest order which will tax every brain cell you have and push your reflexes pretty hard too.

What you must do is try to feed the rather cute looking hungry frog like creature which appears around the screen with the candy provided. To do this, you must try and work out which rope to cut and when to cut it. Don’t be fooled though, this simple task is made quite tricky and to make this more challenging than it already is, there are plenty of devious obstacles to overcome or make use of.

You must aim to collect the three stars that are dotted around the course with your candy. To do this you must swing the candy around using the various ropes, bubbles, moveable objects and so on. For example, some of the ropes are elastic and will need to work out how to aim the candy in a slingshot fashion by cutting the chords in the right sequence.

Although nearly every level will test your abilities to their limit, some levels will require your reflexes more than your brains. In these instances you must move your fingers in a fast frenzy to either collect the stars or do it safely or else you’ll likely see your candy smashed on spikes, blown up by electricity, stolen by cheeky spiders or simply drift off screen due to the bubbles – and that’s just some of what awaits you.

Overall this is a really nice game to play, mentally stimulating, frantic action at points, but always entertaining and a really amusing game that keeps you playing for hours on end. If you only fancy playing this for a few moments, then be advised you will probably end up playing for a lot longer than you had originally bargained for.
