About Cut the Rope 2
Cut the Rope 2 is the beloved rope-cutting puzzle game that brings Om Nom's candy-fueled adventure to a whole new level. Building on the addictive physics-based gameplay that made the original a worldwide hit, this sequel adds fresh mechanics, colorful animal helpers, and dozens of inventive levels that keep the core challenge as satisfying as ever: slice the ropes, guide the candy, and feed the ever-hungry Om Nom. Along the way you'll navigate bubbles that float candy upward, bombs that must be avoided, spikes that pop your sweet cargo, and fans that blow it off course, with each level acting as a small puzzle box of timing and trajectory.
Cut the Rope 2 runs directly in your browser with no download required, making it easy to jump into a quick puzzle session on desktop or mobile. The charming visuals, lighthearted tone, and forgiving controls make it approachable for players of all ages, while the growing complexity of later levels gives puzzle veterans plenty to sink their teeth into.

Animal Helpers and Mechanics
What sets Cut the Rope 2 apart from the original is its expanded cast of animal sidekicks, each offering a unique ability that changes how you approach a puzzle. Some toss candy across wide gaps, others catapult it over obstacles, and a few can clear a path through tricky terrain entirely. These helpers add new layers of strategy to the familiar rope-slicing formula, so the puzzles never feel like more of the same even hundreds of levels in.
Stars and Scoring
Most levels scatter three glowing stars along the candy's path, challenging you to plan a route that scoops up every reward before feeding Om Nom. Collecting all three stars in a level earns a perfect score, and as stages introduce multiple ropes, moving platforms, and environmental hazards working together, chasing that perfect run becomes a puzzle in its own right.
Tips for Winning at Cut the Rope 2
Before making a cut, trace the candy's likely path and spot every star along the way. Prioritize timing over speed, since a well-planned cut beats a rushed one nearly every time. Watch for bubbles and fans early in a level, as they often signal an alternate route to hard-to-reach stars, and if a level feels impossible on the first try, experiment with cutting the ropes in a different order — many puzzles have more than one workable solution.
How to Play Cut the Rope 2
- Study the layout — look at where the candy hangs, where Om Nom sits, and where the stars are placed.
- Plan your cuts — decide the order in which ropes need to be sliced to guide the candy safely.
- Cut with timing — swipe through a rope at the right moment so momentum carries the candy toward its target.
- Use helpers wisely — activate animal sidekicks or power-ups when a puzzle calls for an extra push.
- Feed Om Nom — land the candy in his mouth to complete the level, ideally with all three stars collected.
Developer
Cut the Rope 2 is developed by ZeptoLab, the studio behind the original Cut the Rope series and its beloved mascot, Om Nom.
