How to Play
Cut the Rope Lite is an original browser physics puzzle inspired by classic rope-cutting gameplay. A candy hangs from a rope anchored at the top. Swipe across the rope to cut it — the candy swings with gravity, bounces off platforms, and must land in the hungry monster's mouth below.
Collect golden stars as the candy falls for a higher rating. Avoid red spikes — they end the level instantly. Wooden platforms bounce the candy, helping you reach tricky mouths or dodge hazards.
This is not the official Cut the Rope app — a lightweight, self-made version built for quick browser play.

Tips & Tricks
- 1Watch the candy swing before you cut — timing matters more than speed
- 2Cut near the anchor for a longer swing; cut low for a quick drop
- 3Platforms bounce the candy — aim your cut so it lands on the pad first
- 4Stars are optional but boost your level rating up to 3 stars
- 5Spikes only need a glancing hit — give them a wide berth
- 6Level 1 is a straight drop — use it to learn the swipe gesture
- 7Long ropes (High Anchor, Final Swing) need patience — wait for the arc
