Cut the Rope 2 is an engaging and vibrant sequel to the popular puzzle game, Cut the Rope.

Engrossing Gameplay

Cut the Rope 2 follows the story of Om Nom, a little green alien with an insatiable appetite for sweets. The game starts with Om Nom's unexpected reappearance after he vanished, leaving his owner in despair. As the title suggests, Cut the Rope 2: Om Nom's Unexpected Adventure, the alien hero retraces his steps, revisiting the places he went during his absence and interacting with new friends he met on his journey.

The game's physics-based puzzles are similar to those of its predecessor. To satiate Om Nom's hunger, you need to feed him candies by tactically cutting ropes and using various tools and objects to direct the candies to his mouth. While the gameplay remains essentially the same, Cut the Rope 2 introduces new elements to keep it fresh and intriguing.

Enhanced Gameplay Features

New objects and characters are introduced in Cut the Rope 2 to help you guide the candy towards Om Nom. For example, there are bridges that can be hoisted on balloons, creatures known as Licks whose tongues serve as ramps, and blue blocks with faces (termed as Blues) that multiply when tapped, forming a tower.

A notable feature that distinguishes Cut the Rope 2 from its predecessor is that Om Nom is now movable. At times, you may need to reposition him to catch the candy, typically through the help of other characters in the game.

Progression and Levels

The puzzles in Cut the Rope 2 are spread across different worlds, each consisting of 20 levels. Initially, the game includes worlds such as Forest, Sandy Dam, Junkyard, City Park, and Underground. Each world introduces new gameplay mechanics and characters. You can only advance to the next level after completing the current one, and the next world becomes accessible only after you have collected a specified number of stars.

Each level offers three stars, but obtaining all of them can be challenging, requiring strategic thinking. Hints are available to guide you on how to collect all stars, but they are limited and need to be purchased once exhausted.

In-Game Store and Power-ups

Cut the Rope 2 features an in-game store stocked with useful items and accessories to embellish Om Nom and his environment. You can purchase individual power-ups (hints, balloons, and candy rain) or buy them in packs. Similarly, you can acquire the entire theme or individual items. Besides, several items can be unlocked by completing achievements within the game.

Intuitive Controls

The controls in Cut the Rope 2 are user-friendly and easy to grasp, regardless of whether you've played the original game or not. The game revolves around a simple slash-to-cut control system and introduces new gameplay devices and characters through in-game tutorials, ensuring you always know what to do next. However, progressing through the game can be challenging, especially when you need to collect enough stars to proceed. Some puzzles may take several minutes to solve, prompting frequent use of the 'restart' button.

Visuals and Sounds

Cut the Rope 2 continues the tradition of its predecessor with its charming graphics. The game is visually appealing with brightly colored graphics and cute sound effects that enhance Om Nom's character. The catchy background music adds to the game's ambiance, though a bit more variety would be welcome.

Final Verdict

Cut the Rope 2 is an entertaining and well-designed puzzle game that offers enough variety and challenges to keep players engrossed. The game will eventually leave you longing for more levels, but hopefully, future updates will fill this gap promptly.
