How to Play/Game Play Tips

  • The object of the game is to have the candy attached to one or more pieces of string swing and hit 1 to 3 stars on the screen and then feed it to the Om Nom waiting somewhere on the screen by tossing it into his mouth.
  • NOTE – As long as you at least capture 1 star and the Om Nom eat the candy you will pass the level and unlock the next one but it is best to keep at the puzzle until you can catch all 3 stars and then feed the Om Nom resulting in more points and more stars overall to unlock the next box of 25 levels. If you get frustrated you can move ahead and go back to a puzzle later to earn any additional stars you may have missed.
  • Cutting the String – You use your finger to cut across the string and you will need to figure out the best way to solve the puzzle earning the most stars possible.
  • If you find a level too difficult you can catch as many stars as possible, feed the Om Nom and then come back to it later to try again.
  • There is no penalty if you lose. You can immediately start over if you mess up. Also, if you get all 3 stars you can hit replay and play again to try for a higher score
  • If you make a move that ensures you can’t win just cut the candy free and the game will immediately set up at the beginning for you again.
  • As you progress in the game different obstacles will appear.
  • You can also tap on the curved arrow at the top right of the screen to reset it if you reach a point you know you must start over again.
  • Candy – This is the round piece of candy attached to one or more ropes which you need to feed to the Om Nom. You will see at least one in each level.

  • Bubbles – Candy that moves into bubbles will float upward. You can tap on them to pop the bubble which does not break the string.
  • Stretched Ropes – Stretched Ropes are red in color.
  • Blue dotted Circles – When a rope with candy hits the blue dotted circle it will turn into a rope which will hold your candy.
  • Blue Dotted Circles with Slider Buttons – These have slider bars that will move the dotted blue circles to another location. Many times it is best to move these before you do anything else in a level. You will see some levels with one slider and some with several in a screen.
  • Spikes – Candy should never touch spikes as it will shatter candy on contact. Some spikes are stationary in horizontal and vertical positions and some move up and down which means you will have to time out your moves to avoid them.
  • Cutting Ropes – You can cut several ropes at the same time by slicing your finger across several at once.
  • Multi Touch – This means you can use finger from both hands to cut through ropes on opposite sides at the same time. It’s tricky but once you get used to it you will find it very helpful.

  • Spiders – Once a spider has a hold of the rope along with your candy he will race to it. Be sure to Cut the Rope to get the candy away from a spider. If the spider gets there first you will lose the candy.
  • Speed – Sometimes the only way to solve a puzzle is to move very fast slicing one rope then another before it swings in another direction. Try to think out where the candy needs to end up. (Om Nom’s Mouth)
  • Air cushions – Once you reach box number 2 the Fabric Box you will be introduced to Air Cushions. Tap on these in fast succession to blow the candy in the direction you want it to go to hopefully hit a star or two.
  • Electric Sparks – Once you reach the Foil level you will eventually see electric sparks. Be sure to not let the candy or rope touch the electric sparks. Note that the sparks sometimes turn on and off and you will have to time your movements in order to avoid touching the sparks.
  • Rotate the Wheel – Once you reach the Gift Box level you will be able to use your finger to spin a wheel that will raise and lower the rope for you. Be sure to move your finger tip in a clockwise or counterclockwise motion over the wheel to turn it.
  • Timed Star Levels – Note that some levels that seem easier than previous levels may be one of the timed star levels. Some levels must be completed very quickly or the stars will disappear.
  • If you fail a level of the game the level immediately starts the level over for you.
  • If you wish to start a level over before you solve it tap on the curved arrow at the top left of the screen, hit menu to exit, or simply Cut the Rope and let the candy fall off the screen for an automatic start over screen.
  • Any screen can be replayed to try for a better score once completed.

Puzzle Examples, Information and Solutions

  • A few puzzles and their solutions are listed here to show you how to play the game.
