Cut the Rope: Magic
Cut the Rope: Magic drops you into a storybook world where Om Nom gets zapped into a realm of sorcery and snack theft. Your mission is simple in theory and devilish in practice. Feed the candy, dodge the traps, and morph Om Nom into different magical forms to outsmart an evil wizard. If you’ve played earlier Cut the Rope entries, you’ll feel at home, but the transformations add a spicy layer that turns routine rope cutting into proper puzzling showdowns.
How to Play Cut the Rope: Magic?
You start each level staring down a dangling candy, a tangle of ropes, and a very hungry Om Nom waiting below. Your goal is to slice ropes so the candy swings into Om Nom’s mouth while you snag up to three stars on the way. The trick is timing and sequencing. Cut a support too early and the candy plummets into spikes. Cut too late and a bubble floats it away. The headline twist is Om Nom’s magical transformations. Tap him to cycle forms and use the right ability at the right moment. The Bird form rides air currents to reach high stars. Baby squeezes through tight gaps. Fish dives through water like a sugar-seeking torpedo. Mouse sniffs out helpful paths. Spirit phases through hazards. Dragon unleashes a gusty sneeze that punts candy and obstacles alike. Boss stages punctuate chapters and demand you combine forms with pixel-perfect rope cuts to outwit the wizard’s contraptions.
Winning strategies hinge on pre-visualizing the candy’s path before you touch anything. Map out a two or three cut sequence, then commit. Use bubbles and air cushions to line up star routes, not just the final drop. Transform as the candy moves rather than waiting for it to stall, since many puzzles reward mid-swing timing. If you’re on mobile and an energy system is in play, batch your attempts and use hints only to reveal a single step rather than the whole solution. Perfectionists should aim for all three stars first, then finish with a clean final swing to Om Nom. On tougher late worlds, build momentum by clearing easier side levels to re-train your timing muscle before returning for another bite at the boss.
