The gameplay, while challenging and witty, doesn't strike me as inventive as I’ve seen it in the past, even with these new obstacles The Nommies provide. Last is the aforementioned Blue, that duplicates himself to help Om Nom get through The Scrapyard. Boo, the most creative of the bunch, scares Om Nom into the air at its very sight if spotted in The Underground. Toss has a spring-like head that bounces the candy around the City Park. Lick creates bridges that can drop or block the candy on its way to Om Nom’s mouth in the Sandy Dam. Roto is a little flying bugger that can grab Om Nom or the candy and carry him to other points of the Forest stage.
Clearly, there is a focus on taking advantage of the increased resolution of today’s tablet screens in Cut the Rope 2, as the visual leap is quite remarkable.Įach level taking place of the boxes of past games has a certain theme to the design, with each featuring a different Nommie inhabiting it. The Nommies are crisply animated, as are the gorgeous HD backgrounds. There’s certainly a level of cuteness in their design, from their looks all the way down to the “bump” noise Blues make when you tap on them. They’re not very different from the obstacles in past games, but it’s nice to see that Om Nom isn’t the only strange creature on the block. You can expect much of the same here, except Om Nom leaves the box and sets out on an outdoor adventure featuring new stages and a few new creatures, The Nommies, that alter the gameplay slightly. In past games, you help Om Nom eat oh-so-tempting candy inside a box by cutting ropes for physics-based fun.
Is Cut the Rope 2 an experiment gone wrong, or another holiday gift? Much of it sticks to what made the original Cut the Rope so deliciously good, but relies a little more heavily on microtransactions to flesh out the experience. After a couple successful spin-offs, a true sequel has just released.
While Cut the Rope didn’t turn into quite the colossal franchise Angry Birds did, as far as Apple’s App Store is concerned, it may be just as recognizable thanks to over 400 million downloads of the original game.
