Cut the Rope 2
Cut the Rope 2
When you create an adorable mascot character, it's highly likely that they will carry a story to a series like Cut The Rope 2. The little spherical reptile, Om Nom, is back and still has a huge sweet tooth. There's more of a plot this time as Om Nom had gotten his stubs on lots of candy but a bunch of spiders also want some. This drives them to steal Om Nom's candy and scatter them across various worlds. Om Nom can only do so much to get them back so you'll have to
help him out by cutting the rope once again.
About Cut The Rope 2
All we ask from a sequel is that the core remains the same while the features and content surrounding it expand. This is what this title has done, adding a whole new mechanic on top of the already solid foundation. The moment you start playing, you'll get back into the familiar groove of cutting the rope and playing around with the physics objects. Then, when the new characters and their abilities are introduced, it's a smooth transition into the types of issues that you can expect to face while helping Om Nom get back his much-beloved candy. The game maintains its charm.
How to Play
Cut The Rope 2 is a 2D physics puzzle game that uses swipe and tap mechanics which are recreated by the mouse. To interact with objects in a level, move the cursor over to them and click the Left Mouse Button. To swipe, click and hold the Left Mouse Button and drag it across the area. The goal of each level is to guide a large colorful candy safely to Om Nom. To fully beat the level, you must earn three Medals. These Medals are awarded for collecting all three stars, collecting a certain amount of fruits, and accomplishing a random task.
Each level is designed as an obstacle course or a machine with moving parts. The candy will generally start somewhere suspended by a rope. It'll respond to physics like gravity and momentum, both on its own and from other objects. Devices like pendulums and structures like slopes can greatly influence how the candy moves. Om Nom himself can also be moved around based on the environment. There will also be dangers like pitfalls and destructive obstacles that can eliminate the candy and force you to redo the level.
The biggest addition is the Nommies which are creatures similar to Om Nom but have special abilities. They can help Om Nom on contact or by being tapped with each one serving a specific purpose. You can also earn coins through playing which can be spent on one of four power-ups: Bombs to explode and move things with force, Balloons to lift things up, Teleporters to move things around, and Hints to provide guidance.
Tips and Tricks
Although there are some levels that require you to react a bit faster, a majority of them allow you to go at your own pace. Examine the level, see how the different elements can interact with each other, and then make your move.
