Cut the Rope Wiki

I just read through or scanned a few dozen reviews and they all say the same thing I’ve been thinking- this game has been ruined by the ads. Restart a level- ads. Not enough points - ads. Beat the level - ads. And not just a quick ad. I’m talking a slowed down, 30-60 second ad for another game. Think the ad is done - nope, here’s another video to interrupt your game. Click the X on the ad to end it- nope, go to the App Store. And the price for no ads is ten bucks a month- are you kidding me? No thanks. The sad thing is that every review said the same thing- great game but the ads are out of control, reviews from years ago. Cut the Rope should correct this very obvious problem. Until then, I won’t play any of their games.

I just downloaded this game yesterday because I had deleted one (1) of my other ones and I didn’t know what else to get. And I saw this game whilst I was looking for other games and I came across this one (1). I had remembered playing it in my youth and I could not be happier ☺️ playing it again! It is very easy and just a very fun relaxing game! Thank you for making this game! I cannot what for more amazing 🤩 things to come from you guys :). •Natalie P.S One (1) thing I don’t like about it is that it keeps bringing up a membership opportunity and I am thirteen (13) so I can’t pay 💰 for things myself. So if that could be improved that would be great 👍🏻! But I also would understand if you can’t :).

I love this game SO much. I played it when I was really little and loved it more than anything in life. Om nom is so cute and the game was fun and challenging. There are no glitches, the game is hard but not lose-your-mind hard, there are tons of levels, every level is unique and it’s probably the best game I have ever played. HOWEVER, there is one tiny* (*very large) problem: THE ADS. I can never get the timed stars because an ad pops up WHILE I’m playing. MULTIPLE ads play between rounds and sometimes the INTERRUPT you when you’re about to win and then they make you start the level over. I love(d) this game but now I can’t stand to play it. I know ads are a way to make money, but it’s a lot to play a non-skippable ad every other game, and you are playing 2 or three EVERY round! Some ads are fine but this is TOO MUCH and I will probably delete the game if it doesn’t change. I REALLY love this game and it’s very frustrating that I can’t even play it. I’m not going to say much more because it seems like EVERYONE gives this review and there is no response. I know you are busy but It’s really important to pay attention to what people say about your game because I don’t want to write a long and detailed review and it be a total waste of my time. Thank you.

I adore this game. When I was younger my dad put it on his iPad and I would sit on the couch for hours playing it. Om Nom is adorable, the levels are simple yet tricky, and it’s a very well designed game. BUT. The ads! I have to watch one every five seconds! No joke! I will be in the middle of a level when an ad pops up and I have to restart the level. Not fun. I rEALLY rEALLY wish I could give this game 5 stars but with the ads I can’t. After about 3 minutes of playing it, I get so bothered by the ads that I stop playing, yell, and throw my phone across my room. It’s infuriating. Also, the cheep ads that are on here don’t let you click the X button to get out of the ad, it just takes me to the App Store where I have to exit out of the window and go back into the game. It happens SO often that this needs to be addressed. PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS! I LOVE this game!!

First 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.

When I upgraded to an iPhone I figured it would be neat to re-download all the old apps I had on my iPod touch that I played when I was in middle and high school. This was a personal favorite of mine. The game was addicting and fun to play, and was just adorable in general. The fun gameplay hasn’t changed much aside from the addition of “superpowers” (which I don’t use to begin with), it’s still as adorable as I remember, but I find myself playing this without my WiFi or mobile data on for what is obviously the biggest change. Ads Lots and lots of ads. I don’t like the addition of obnoxiously intrusive ads, and I’d like to emphasize intrusive because I had a 30 I skip panel second video shoved in my face while trying to restart a level. I have to play this game with any network connections off or else I’ll be forced into watching videos for things I don’t care about. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still ads with internet off, but they’re far less disruptive than the videos. The addition of micro transactions is also upsetting as superpowers add nothing fun or useful to the game since levels were easily solve-able on their own and any level you couldn’t pass required some trial and error. Now, like most other games, you can plop down a dollar and get past it. I’ll still be playing the game for the nostalgia and fun, but I feel the recent additions to the game are disheartening and greedy.

This is definitely a classic iPhone game. I remember having this back on my ipod touch when I was a kid and enjoyed every second of it, but since re-downloading it years later I find myself extremely disappointed in some of the companies decisions. 1.) My major complaint is ads after every 3-5 tries. The game was free and didn’t have this back when it came out, and I don’t know how they can even justify it besides rampant greed. IF you had to maybe pay a couple of dollars nowadays to buy the game since they have added tons of new features and levels. I could totally understand that, and would happily buy the game. Yet, they think they can charge you 10$ a month for a mobile game just to not have ads? That’s 120$ a year, for one phone game! It’s ludicrous and has corporate greed written all over it, and frankly, it’s sad to see the game in this state. 2.) The game has become extremely easy with the amount of hints and powers you’re given now. This doesn’t bother me as much, since I understand they’re just trying to make it more accessible to young kids which is good. I only wish there was a feature to turn hints off. Cut the rope is a classic, but the ads really get on my nerves so I can’t play it for more than a couple minutes. I only gave it 3 stars for my nostalgic love of the game, but really, it should’ve been lower. A great game eroded by greed as is the trend on mobile.

Cut the Rope makes me feel nostalgic, since it was my childhood game. Now that I was 13, I decided to try the game again, and much had changed. For example, you can only play the first five boxes, whereas, back when I played it in 2011, you could play all the boxes. Secondly, I looked to see just how much money it would take to unlock all the boxes. 15 bucks!? I never expected this game to be so greedy! No one would pay fifteen bucks to play a couple of more boxes. Lastly, the adds. Ugh! They never stop! I hit the redo button on a level to get all the stars, and it takes me to a 30 second ad about Chocolate Frosted Flakes. Those adds are meant to be on television, not on a game! The adds also randomly pop up whenever you go into a level, exit a level, etc. Seeing the game will never be the same, I must say I miss childhood, especially old Cut the Rope. 🙁⏰

I 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.

TL;DR 2 stars cause the game is still sort of good but removed 3 stars because of the subscription and the bombardment of ads. Ok I’m sorry but when I used to be younger I played this game so much. So one day I decided to get it again after years of not touching it and omg there are so many ads. You might be like “tHeN wHy DoNt yOu gEt ThE sUbScRiPtiON?” Well you see I’m 13 tryna play a game that I played when I was 5-7 and I obviously don’t have the money to pay 10$ a month and obviously my mom and dad are not gonna be ok with that. Especially in the time of COVID were money is kind of tight due to my dad being payed half of what he’s supposed too and my mom not having a job. So if y’all tryna feel the nostalgia of this game then you won’t feel it due to the ads ruining the whole feeling. I might have been ok with the ads if there weren’t so many also. After dying twice or finish 2 levels you’ll be given an ad. Like dude sometimes I get the levels finished faster then the ads themselves smh. It’s like I’m trying to have fun but I can’t if I can’t even play the game without being bombarded with a load of ads. Don’t buy this game if your trying to feel the “nostalgia” cause you won’t feel it.

Wow! You really changed this nice little app a lot.. i use to love this game.. but the new updates has just been hijacked with ads.. i mean I appreciate your intent to get us to buy stuff so you get commissions.. but you really went all the way down to abuse the trade off.. so much so that whole experience suffered big time.. i have done only 3 levels and I already had to forcefully watch at least 20+ ads and that after i closed a lot as well. And then what is this subscription model about ?? Seriously? Why is everyone is trying to tap into it.. even when it just doesn’t make any sense.. i don’t want million features every month. I just want a simple game. Anyway, since i like the App, i wanted to still check your subscription out.. but your ads keep coming in the way of that too. 20mins in and I still don’t know how am I suppose to buy that subscription and what am I getting from it ? This is classic case of too much greed by the developers. Unfortunately you at least lost 3-4 users in our home. I don’t think you would care but that’s ok, all the best.

I really love this game, and I used to play it all the time when I was younger on my iPod touch. I now redownloaded it, super excited to revisit it, and it’s still as fun as I remember, except every two levels or every time I restart, there’s an ad. Is this many ads really necessary? I know the developers and such need support and money, but the sheer amount of ads really detracts from the game for me. I looked to see if I could remove ads and there was a 10$ per month membership offer, which I don’t think is a great price for just a game of this caliber, especially for one that’s been around for so long, it seems really expensive. Most ad removals on games are like 2-5$ maybe, but this is a subscription fee?? 1,200$ a year is a lot, and even so I don’t think a lot of people would be willing to subscribe to a game in this way. I don’t want to leave a bad review because the levels are really creative and fun, but i feel disappointed about how many ads there are.

Why 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.

I used to play this game as a kid, I redownloaded it to see what it was like now. It’s sad that this game was killed by ads. 80% of the levels you complete are followed with ads. Restarting the game to skip the ads isn’t an option either because a “VIP” membership for 10$ monthly is shoved down your throat every time you start up the game. For one this game is marketed towards young children how can’t fully grasp the concept of micro-transactions, and secondly is that its TEN DOLLARS MONTHLY, that’s as much as any streaming service out now. The developers will never listen because this game has become their cash cow. Please fix your game. It’s sad that such a memorable game for so many children years ago has turned into this mess. If I had given this a rating years ago it would’ve been 5 stars, now its 1 star for everything I’ve mention in the previous. (Wish I could give it 0 stars). You’ve killed your game and player base because you got greedy. While this game will go down in history as one of the best phone games ever to come out, many who redownloaded it, like myself, will get to see the mess you turned it into. It’s quite sad that such a great thing has turned into a pile of waste that you force feed advertisements into.
