Cut the RopeBack to the main gameCut the Rope: Experiments is a physics-based puzzle game from Zeptolab where your one job is feeding Om-Nom the green monster his favorite candy. A professor has taken Om-Nom into the lab to study his appetite, so every level comes wrapped in a quirky science theme with a narrator who reacts as you play. The game runs free in the browser with no download needed, and it works on school or work networks where apps are blocked.
What Cut the Rope: Experiments is about
The core loop is simple: candy hangs from one or more ropes, and you cut them in the right order so the candy swings, drops, or bounces into Om-Nom's mouth. Each level also hides three stars that you can collect along the path the candy travels. Getting all three is the real challenge.
The Experiments twist adds a professor character whose voiced reactions give the levels a light story feel. The physics engine means small timing differences change where the candy lands, so trial and error is part of the experience.
How to cut the rope
The controls use a single input, making the game easy to pick up.
| Action | How to do it |
|---|---|
| Cut a rope | Hold left mouse button and drag across the rope |
| Aim the cut | Draw your drag line at an angle to control swing direction |
Collecting stars and clearing levels
Each level has three stars positioned along the candy's possible travel paths. You do not need all three to pass, but collecting them is the mark of a clean solve.
The candy must reach Om-Nom to complete a level. If it misses, falls off screen, or gets stuck, you restart the level. There is no time pressure, so you can watch the physics play out before planning your cuts.
Tips for feeding Om-Nom cleanly
- Watch where each star sits before cutting anything. Plan a path that passes through them.
- Cut ropes one at a time rather than slashing through several at once. The candy needs momentum to reach stars on the sides.
- If the candy swings too far and misses, try cutting a fraction of a second earlier or later. Small timing changes matter a lot.
- When stuck, restart and just aim for Om-Nom first. Once you see the successful path, layer in the star route.
