    This is a classic mobile game with some really fun gameplay but I had to mark it down a bit as I couldn’t play the third world without either 3 starring all the levels in the first two worlds or paying extra money on top of the money I paid to buy the game in the first place! Not cool!

    An excellent puzzle game. It's got a great amount of variety, leaving you to think in new ways.

It's got a great amount of variety, leaving you to think in new ways. The later levels are particularly challenging, mixing in the concepts of each of the boxes in diabolical ways that will leave your head scratching for hours. Cut the Rope is frantic when it forces timed challenges by throwing mice and spiders out for your candy, and when it has you switching gravity fields. There's a little bit of everything and the variety is greatly appreciated. Some of the gravity levels do get out of hand though. Some are almost too devious. Furthermore, while the puzzles have a great amount of variety, it would be nice to have a better variety of music to listen to.

    Regardless, Cut the Rope is one of the best puzzle apps on the iOS market, and is great fun for anyone who plays it.    … Expand

    "Cut the Rope" is somewhat similar to "Angry Birds". You progress to the next level by passing the previous level and you get a rank on how well you did on that level out of three stars. Personally, I enjoy this game more than "Angry Birds".

Hardcore gamers will love it because of its addicting challenges and numerous levels. It really is just an incredibly satisfying game that is worth a download.

    Gameplay consists of simply getting a piece of candy to an adorable little creature by cutting ropes with your finger. It starts just as simple as that, but as you progress it gets more and more challenging. The game is constantly throwing something new at you so the game always feels fresh no matter how long you play it. It might not be super challenging to get the candy to the creature, but the real challenge is collecting all three of the stars in the level. My only complaint with the game is that you have to collect a certain amount of start in order to unlock the next set of levels. It's only a minor issue and it doesn't become so until later in the game.

    Overall this is a super excellent puzzle game that I can't recommend highly enough. It's addictive, charming, and fun. One of the best mobile games I've ever played.    … Expand

    One of my favorite games and a best seller on the app store. Perfect graphics, challenging levels and the best designed character ever! The game get updated quite often so there is always time to spend on it.

    An enjoyable game that haves some clever puzzles, but overrated. The gameplay is simple and fun, and it haves some intelligent ideas, and the 2D graphics are perfect, but It gets boring. Overall, It's a nice pocket puzzle game that you will enjoy.

    Very vell designed, fun game. It's main advantage is a player's motivation. The moment you see this little monster you want to give him this darn candy and you feel genuine sadness if you don't manage to feed him (causes the long face)... It's kinda' incredible that only the cuteness of the character can influence the whole purpose of whether or not should I play the game.

    Many levels, many funny ideas. Unfortunately when I see so many levels I get bored after several hours. If there would be any kind of metagame in this (like in mooniacs) the game could easily get 9 or 10.    … Expand

    This has to be one of the most fun apps for .99 cents on the app store. I play everyday and i keep gaining more and more stars. The puzzles are amazing. They are just pure fun to solve unlike amazing breaker were you feel more stressed out. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a good puzzle game.

    It's fun, but it's certainly not difficult. I pretty much had no problems nabbing the three stars on each level. For a dollar, it's still fun and worth your time, but the only challenge in this game is trying to find any. Not that easy means bad, but you will breeze through it. I would still recommend the game.

    Next to Angry Birds, Cut The Rope is easily the second most-overhyped game for mobile devices. It's cheerful presentation and interesting puzzle mechanics make the early puzzles seem the perfect placeholder for when the world's parents step away from Farmville for a few moments. Casual? Yes certainly. Overhyped? Most definitely. Garbage? Not really, though it's by no means a great game. ItNext to Angry Birds, Cut The Rope is easily the second most-overhyped game for mobile devices.

    All you need to know is: yes, it's really that good :) CTR is cute, easy to learn, difficult to master. I know two non-gamers who fell in love with Cut the Rope at first sight. It's a perfect mobile puzzle with something new to offer in each small package / level.

    Cut the Rope is a brilliant, quirky puzzle game that offers users something new on every level; no room for slow thinking here! Unlike some of its competitors, Cut the Rope really feels more rewarding the more you play it. I am yet to get bored of Cut the Rope, if I ever will. 9 out of 10.

    I'm an avid player of puzzle games (Professor Layton, Myst Series) and I still find levels of this game a challenge, they have been releasing extra stages with new game play and difficulty ever since I picked it up and the game has only dropped in price since then. I've recommended this game to my friends and I often pass my phone with this game on it to iOS haters.

    Cut the Rope is ingenious, following a similar formula to Angry Birds – charming graphics, simple gameplay that gets complexity steadily layered on top of it in a way that feels natural, almost without even feeling like it's getting more difficult.

    Cut the Rope HD requires a bit of thought, planning, timing, and even some dexterity. It might even be original enough to give Angry Birds a run for its money.
