Cut the Rope

I finished the first season in one day because it is just that addicting! And yeah yeah some people might say yatee yatee ya ohh this game is for little kids but I almost got my thirty six year old mom to buy it!! So you should DEFINITELY consider it. The only thing I would say is to maybe start out when you buy the game with two or three teles, magnets, and flashes so that’s it’s easier at the beginning to pass to get used to it while you still have the upgrades on those three things throughout the game. Oh and this doesn’t bother me toooo much but it is pretty annoying; the ads are 😝 after almost every time you fail a level it makes your watch one or after you finish the box so please try to limit those things. Any way I love love love this app and definitely think you should make a cut the rope three!!! Bye thank you!!

I used to play this when I was really little and I liked it a lot, so when I got my new phone I was like “why not?” and downloaded it, it is not exactly how I remember it. 1st off the superpowers, they make it super easy to pass some levels and totally ruin the game play. You get sooooo many hints so that when you finally get a level where you have to acutely try you have like 20 hints stocked up. + you get like 1 to 4 superpowers every day 😑 2nd Ads... this game used to be ad free!!! Why did you change that!!! Now pretty much every level I have to watch an add for an app I will NEVER get! ( and stop telling me to watch the “new episodes” of cut the rope, it’s a game not a 4 year old cartoon 😒) . 3rd this isn’t really a real problem but the new episodes and seasons of cut the rope really bug me, they are constantly trying to get me to watch a show that is super cringe and I will never watch. I mean come on, the majority of the players aren’t 4. (Yea I get it this game is made for smaller children, but it is still a pet peeve of mine). Other than those reasons I really like the game, and think it is a fun way to pass time (on airplane mode). It has changed a lot but still really fun and addictive 😊

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.

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.
