A charming and fun puzzle game which makes excellent use of physics.

The Good
Cut The Rope is a very charming and original puzzle game. The levels are well designed and make clever use of physics and the many different gameplay elements. There are candy stealing spiders, spikes, air cushions (that make fart noises), movable rope hooks, electric sparks, rotating wheels etc.

In each level there are 3 stars you can collect, though this is not necessary to complete a level. This makes the game a little easier for casual gamers while at the same time providing a real challenge for puzzle game fans, and this works really well.

The rope physics behave very realistic and the sound and graphics are very charming and have high production value. Especially the Omnom character animation is very funny. During the game he'll wave to you or make "I'm hungry" gestures, and when the candy breaks or falls off screen he looks disappointed.

The Bad
Cut The Rope only has a few minor points that could be improved.

Most importantly, you can't save your progress for multiple players on one device. Most people share a device with someone and they can't keep track of their progress separately. Maybe this is possible when you register separate accounts on the Chrystal service, I haven't tried this.

Secondly, during the game there's a reset and a menu button in the top right corner. Occasionally these buttons will get in the way of the game, for example on level 2-8 when you have to pop a bubble in that corner.

Finally, the loading time when you go from the level select screen to in-game (and vice versa) seems a bit long compared to the other load times in the game.

The Bottom Line
Cut The Rope is both a puzzle game and casual game, but everyone will enjoy playing it. It's one of the best games in the app store so far.
