Cut the Rope
Om Nom is back in Cut the Rope: Magic, a magical expansion of ZeptoLab’s legendary physics-puzzle series. Teleported into an enchanted realm by an evil wizard, the candy-loving monster must harness new shapeshifting powers to reclaim his stolen sweets. With over 160 magic-themed levels, the classic rope-slicing formula gets a fresh layer of brain-bending strategy.
Magical transformations and interactive gadgets
Gravity isn't the only force at play anymore. Clearing stages requires blending classic physics mechanics with Om Nom's magical form shifts.
Mastering Om Nom's magical transformations
Shapeshifting changes how Om Nom interacts with stage elements. Turning into a bird form allows him to hover above obstacles, while shrinking into a baby form lets him fit through narrow gaps. Transforming into a fish allows him to dive underwater to reach submerged candy, while mouse form gives him a heightened scent to chase down sweets directly.
Environmental traps, bubbles, and air blowers
Slicing ropes at the right angle is only half the battle. You’ll frequently need to float candy inside floating bubbles, alter flight paths using air blowers, and manipulate magic portals. Timing your rope cuts while managing environmental wind forces is crucial for guiding the candy directly into Om Nom’s mouth.
Strategic pacing and 3-star mastery
- Three-star star runs: Grabbing all three golden stars per level requires precise cut sequences rather than random slicing.
- Boss stages & wizard tricks: Later levels introduce dynamic wizard hazards that actively alter candy trajectories mid-flight.
- Undo and experiment: Restarting levels is instant, making trial-and-error experimentation the best way to figure out complex multi-rope physics loops.
Pro tips for solving magical puzzles
- Delay your transformation: Don't turn Om Nom into his magical form immediately at stage start; wait until the candy reaches the optimal drop position.
- Pop bubbles at momentum peaks: Pop floating bubbles when they reach the peak of their upward swing to launch candy across wide gaps.
How to play
Use the mouse to cut ropes or interact with objects in the level.
