Cut the Rope: Experiments update (iPhone, iPad) $0.99
Already, Cut the Rope: Experiments has taken the fun, dynamic Cut the Rope puzzle formula and created something new out of it. Sure, you’re mostly just cutting ropes with a slash of your finger in the game, which drops a piece of candy into the mouth of your little pet monster. But in Experiments, you’re challenged with new items and objects that demand new strategies, and requirements that force you to solve puzzles quickly and efficiently to get the best scores.
Twenty-five new levels have been added to Experiments in a big update, added to the game’s original haul of more than 70. There’s also a new gameplay element – the rocket – which means you’ll need to pay attention and learn even more new ways of getting candy into the mouth of a Om Nom. The game has been optimized with iCloud support, so you can share your game saves across multiple devices.
