Best Game I’ve Ever Played
Sat May 04 2024 robin from space :0 <3tldr: flawless game, singlehandedly made me (an atheist) convert to christianity because i cannot fathom how this would’ve been made without a god.
the love i have for cut the rope is simply immeasurable and unparalleled. the immaculate level design and lifelike, fulfilling gameplay is enough to get me through even the hardest of times. it is truly a relic, a masterpiece unto this world, and it has singlehandedly sparked my belief in a supreme being. for how could such perfection be crafted without the aid of one? if the greatest philosophers pondered for decades on end, they undoubtedly could not grasp the meaning that cut the rope has given me. the purpose that has bubbled up inside me. each death is a learning experience, teaching me the ins and outs of this universe, and each success is such gratifying freedom. in all my life, i have never experiences something as magical as cut the rope. and i haven’t even mentioned the soundtrack. the impactful ambience playing throughout the background of the game gives me strength to move forward, not only in the game, but in my life. i feel every worry slip away, every burden lifted off of my shoulders, each second i play bringing me bliss peacefulness, that i simply do not feel anywhere else. i’ve begun to neglect my needs, because cut the rope fulfills them. cut the rope eliminates my hunger. cut the rope quenches my thirst. without cut the rope, i would be a dead man.
It’s fun, but it changed a lot, not really for the better...
Thu Mar 07 2019 AsiaMooI used to play this when I was really little and I liked it a lot, so when I got my new phone I was like “why not?” and downloaded it, it is not exactly how I remember it.
1st off the superpowers, they make it super easy to pass some levels and totally ruin the game play. You get sooooo many hints so that when you finally get a level where you have to acutely try you have like 20 hints stocked up. + you get like 1 to 4 superpowers every day 😑
2nd Ads... this game used to be ad free!!! Why did you change that!!! Now pretty much every level I have to watch an add for an app I will NEVER get! ( and stop telling me to watch the “new episodes” of cut the rope, it’s a game not a 4 year old cartoon 😒) .
3rd this isn’t really a real problem but the new episodes and seasons of cut the rope really bug me, they are constantly trying to get me to watch a show that is super cringe and I will never watch. I mean come on, the majority of the players aren’t 4. (Yea I get it this game is made for smaller children, but it is still a pet peeve of mine).
Other than those reasons I really like the game, and think it is a fun way to pass time (on airplane mode). It has changed a lot but still really fun and addictive 😊
Read for my opinion! 🙃
Thu Jul 07 2022 Just a loaf of breadSo to start, I’d give it a 4.5 but that’s not how it’ll let me. Anyway. OM NOM IS ADORABLE ❤️❤️❤️!!! I used to play when I was young and decided when I got a mobile ‘Why not enjoy my work free life while it lasts?’ So I downloaded it. IT HAS CHANGED. I mean, did it change for the better??? Superpowers make it to easy. Ik this is aimed for younger kids but (Uh pet peeve don’t judge) I did, and still do, enjoy the game. Hints pop up after some time. The hints aren't hints they are solutions. TOO EASY. I am sorry, but I think they made it a bit to easy. AND WHY, EXPLAIN, DOES IT WANT ME TO WATCH SOME CARTOON??????? WHY??? I’m sorry it keeps popping up like “Watch Om nom now!” “Season (Xyz) came out yesterday! Watch now!” I mean, we’re not all 4 year olds are we?? And then there’s ads for other games made by same developers. Why do that? Ik they are like Om noms adventure or what not but I’m just there to feed Om nom. Uh I haven’t had much of an ad problem so there’s nothing to be said there. So, my opinion in which they should not have added is; 1, No superpowers. Like why? Much too easy. 2, Hints popping up like every 2 mins or so! 3 WHY THE DANG CARTOON???? And lastly, 4. I think they should ad a candy (acting as money) thing where you could earn candy by playing levels and feeding Om nom. Then you should be able to BUY the hints not just watch an ad. But there’s not to many things to be said abt this game. So I give it a 4.5! ❤️🏆🌟 Thanks for reading!
used to be fun
Thu Apr 11 2024 brebrebrebreeeeeIt’s changed a bit, even without internet you get an ad every 3 LEVELS. It’s really annoying and makes the app just unplayable. What makes it even more annoying is that it’s the same king of thieves ad over and over and over, you can’t click off, and it lasts like 20-30 seconds. I understand that the ads are necessary to promote king of thieves, but the ads get very repetitive and do the opposite of influencing me to play them or even continue playing cut the rope for that matter. I’m sure other players feel the same as well. Having ads displayed after every 6 or 7 levels and able to be clicked off before the ad is over would be more reasonable, in my opinion. Plus, even after I beat the level, I’d get the ad and after it’s over it wouldn’t move on to the next level and instead it’d replay the same level *every* time. I would still get stars for my previous attempt, but it’s frustrating clicking to the next level each time I beat a level and then get an ad. At the very least, it’d be nice if this issue was fixed.
Otherwise, this game is really fun, yet still challenging, and I really like all the new options for candies.
Absolutely awful now
Sun Dec 22 2024 Just_A_Little_GuyUsed to love this game, but the developers have gotten so greedy. It's not even the number of in-app purchases that bother me, it's how predatory they are. I almost paid $5 ACCIDENTALLY because I tried to play a later level than the tutorial, and kept recieving pop-ups asking $10-15 for... pretty much nothing. It was like a costume and some coins I think? It was clearly targeted at kids on their parents' phones using a synced credit card without permission, because it was ridiculous pricing and WAY too easy to purchase. Then of course there are the ads, what's a mobile game without them. Of course there are the numerous invasive video ads, but there are also pop-ups for in-app purchases, offers to watch ads for rewards, and prompts to use your few coins/powerups which just.. don't go away. I've had to close out the app to remove them without wasting the resources which can only be regained by- you guessed it- in-app purchases. All of that is annoying, but yknow, free mobile game. It's par for the course. However, the game is also just not fun. As I mentioned, you can't skip levels without paying ridiculous amounts of real money, and all the early levels are trivially easy; I'd classify the first 15 as a drawn-out tutorial, and it really doesn't get better from there. So, in conclusion, don't get this game.
How to milk a decade-old game’s fame to the last drop
Fri Apr 19 2024 AirimderThis app is unusable in its current state. Despite this being a 14 year old game, whoever owns it now wants $9.99 every single month for the privilege of playing through this dusty old game. Because without that subscription, the game is unplayable. Like most free apps, this game is ridden with ads like fleas on a dog, but in addition to that, the game is filled with obtrusive pop-ups begging you take surveys, advertising pointless minigames, and repeatedly asking you to enable notifications, making even the ad-free experience utterly unacceptable and certainly unenjoyable.
The laundry list of data collection (for which there is no option to opt out), including the maximum amount of personal data that it is POSSIBLE to collect via an iOS app, confirms to me that this game’s app store page has been taken over by a piece of malware. Unusable as entertainment and doubtlessly selling every piece of information about each of its users for pennies each.
Whoever owns this app and has implemented these exploitative practices is shamelessly exploiting children and those seeking nostalgia and should be ashamed of themselves. I support developers being fairly compensated for their work, of course, but despicable practices like these to wring every last cent out of a 15-year old game is disgusting.
Game is great, but way too many ads.
Sun Jun 09 2019 AmazingAmbomFirst of all, I love this game. It’s so fun and challenging. I used to play this game all the time when I was younger, and it brings back great memories. But, I recently revisited this app and I am very disappointed. The app is mostly the same, but I’m disappointed about the ads. There’s too many. If you fail at a level, chances are you’re getting an ad. If you want to retry a level, chances are you’re also getting an ad. The amount of ads that games have to use today makes the gameplay less fun. It takes away from the game. I usually don’t mind ads, but when there’s so many that just pop out of no where, it’s disappointing. And I hate to leave a bad review on this game. I honestly love it. I really don’t think this game needs the amount of ads as it currently has. Sure, once in a while is ok. But, every single level? I know people that makes apps like this want to make money off of their apps, but I don’t think they have to go to the extent of ads popping up in your face every time. I’m ok with being able to watch ads for extra hints or something like that, but pretty much every time I fail a level or hit restart, another ad.
$10 a month? Seriously?
Thu Jun 27 2019 BatkillerWhy is everything being forced into a subscription model? $10 a month is about what most streaming services charge, but in this case, all you get is the privilege of playing a single iOS game uninterrupted by ads. There's no option to simply buy the game--it's either agree to hemorrhage $10 every month, or suffer through these ads.
And let's talk about the ads. I fully support an ad-based model for a free game, and I wouldn't care if it were just banners that constantly ran at the top or bottom of the screen, or an occasional pop-up. That's not what we're dealing with here. These are full-screen videos that are at least 45-60s long that can't be skipped, and they run so frequently that you might spend more time watching them than playing the game. It's faster and far less irritating to simply force-quit and relaunch the app so you don't have to suffer through another one.
Why does all this matter? Because beneath all these terrible publishing and marketing decisions is a fantastic, polished, and super fun game. I feel terrible trashing this game for things that have nothing to do with the game itself, but the free version is essentially unplayable this way, and $10 a month is outrageous. Do you think playing Cut the Rope ad-free should cost the same as an Apple Music subscription? Yeah, I don't either.
The ads are the problem
Mon Dec 11 2023 somechickwithaphoneIt’s a fun game, one I loved playing as a kid and downloaded again for nostalgia. Now, there are ads. I understand including advertisements to a degree. In order to run a free game, you need ad revenue to keep going. However, the problem is the length of the ads, frequency, and mechanics of it. The ads are around 30 second long and play every two attempts at a level. Every attempt is usually only a few seconds long. So you’re watching more ads than playing a game.
The biggest problem and the one that is the most inexcusable and also fixable is that many levels have timed stars meaning you only have a few seconds before that star disappears. The problem is that, if you restart a level and an ad plays, the level is still live while the ad is going, meaning that by the time the ad is over, the timed stars are gone and you have to restart again in order to try to get them. This means that, in levels with timed stars, you get one play that lasts 5 seconds per 30 second ad. The level SHOULD NOT be playing in the background while the advertisement plays. It’s RIDICULOUS. It’s easily fixable to just auto-trigger the pause if an ad plays. There’s no excuse to not fix it.
The ads are horrible
Sun May 03 2020 LizardLovesEpisodeI can’t even begin to explain the amount of ads in this game. I get one after almost every level. That’s not the problem though. Every time I open this app it floods me with ads. I open it and get the subscription pop-up (if I didn’t want it before I don’t now, so don’t keep pushing it), then when I close out of that I get a self-promoting “OmNom Run” ad. You might be saying, “Don’t the ads let you close out of them early?” Well, they used to. Now, I have to sit through the ad unless I want it to kick me out of the game and delete half of the levels I *just* completed. Right now the ad isn’t even letting me close out at the end, so I can’t even get in the game. If I make it past that ad, I can click play, and then I get an ad. Then after the ad, I’ll get in my level, and mess up, so I’ll click the restart button, and it gives me an ad. After that ad I’ll finish the level and go on to the next level. OmNom Run ad, ok, that’s fine. Well no it’s not, because I’ll close out of that ad and be kicked out of the game. Then I get back in and all of the SUPER difficult levels I *just* completed are now gone, and I have to redo them. I don’t want to complain just to complain, I just want this bug to be fixed, because it’s driving me insane.
