That’s either a testament to solid game design or to the undeniable cuteness of Om Nom, but either way we have some more ropes that need cutting.Ĭut the Rope 2 is now available on iPhone and iPad. It’s not just a new level pack that ZeptoLab is having you pay for, it’s a new installment in a series that has yet to feel old despite this being the fourth version we’ve played. It maintains the core of the game, never straying too far from the expertly designed physics-based puzzles that make the game equal parts challenging and rewarding, while adding new elements to make sure it feels fresh and unique enough to attract players to it. The game is still filled with bright, vibrant color schemes and the characters are as adorably drawn and animated as ever Om Nom’s face is especially expressive. The lines look sharper and the background is more detailed, but doesn’t distract from the action in the foreground.Ĭut the Rope 2 is everything you’d expect from a new installment in the series. More subtle than the new gameplay aspects in Cut the Rope 2 is the graphical update the game received. These are purchasable power-ups that let you cheat your way to a higher score, but you can handle all the levels without having to rely on in-game purchases. If the Nommies’ services aren’t enough, you can call upon other items left at your disposal, like balloons, candy rain, or solution-providing fireflies. Roto flies like a helicopter Blue is a big blue brick Lick uses his tongue as a platform etc. The collective of creatures, as a group know as “Nommies,” offer their own skill set to manipulate levels.

Cut the Rope 2 returns to the original brings in more of what made it great … more levels, more creatures, more power ups to help you cheat your way through the tougher portions of the game – more of everything.Īccomplishing these goals are aided by the addition of some new friends that are willing to help Om Nom acquire his beloved striped sweets. Though the game is titled Cut the Rope 2 it’s actually the fourth game to bare the Cut the Rope moniker, after Cut the Rope and its spinoffs, Cut the Rope: Time Travel and Cut the Rope: Experiments, which both introduced themed levels and gameplay elements. Though the formula is still familiar, there’s plenty of new stuff to enjoy. Cut the Rope 2, the first full sequel to the original, is the biggest addition to the franchise yet. For the most part, every iteration of the game has built upon the same formula with minor tweaks and new levels. Though he never amassed the cult of personality following that the stars of the Angry Birds franchise, Om Nom’s unapologetic need to consume candy has kept players thinking through puzzles and slashing through restrictive ropes since 2010. Before Candy Crush was committing players to a virtual sweets addiction, Cut the Rope was introducing people to the original digital candy enthusiast: A cutesy green creature named Om Nom.
