Game Description:
Cute The Rope is a game in iOS platform that uses the touch screen function properly. However, now the game has developed and can be played from Android phone, Mac, and Windows too. The first time the game start, player will be given story that getting a box which consist a little monster that love candy. Player must then feed the monster with candy, however, the box has obstacles that prevent the candy to be easily pass to the monster. The job of the player is to find a way to make the candy go inside the monster’s mouth.

How to play:
Player must find a way to put the candy into the monster’s mouth by avoid the obstacles. The first time a level start, the candy will be hung on a rope (maybe that’s why it’s called Cut The Rope). Player must cut the rope by slash down the rope using the touch screen. Then depends on what level the player is, the other obstacles may differ. There is electric waves obstacle. When candy touches the electric wave, it’ll crack (which leads to game over). The electric wave has time when it stops electrocuting. So, player must wait for the right moment. Another obstacle is the spiders. The spider lives in some rope. If the candy falls into the rope of spider, the spider will awake and try to get the candy along the rope. Another obstacle is the spike. When candy fall into spike, it will crack.
There’re also things inside the level that can help player to avoid the obstacles, like bubble which when the candy fall into it, the bubble will lift up the candy. Player can pop the bubble to let the candy fall. Another helpful thing is balloon. Balloon can spit air that can push everything in front of it away. This is helpful when using the rope or the bubble. There’re so much more things that can help player to pass the obstacles, like non-gravity, stretched rope, rope that exist when candy fall near it, moving rope, etc.
Beside trying to put the candy into the monster’s mouth, player can collect 3 stars in each level. Depends on which level, the star can has timer on it to be collected else it will disappear.

How to win:
When the candy go inside the monster’s mouth, that current level is finished and the next level will be playable. Player also can collect 3 stars by touching all the stars with the candy.
The player will lose if the candy cracked which can be caused by getting into the electric waves and spike. Also player will lose if the candy is outside the box, like fall down to the bottom or swing out to the left or right side or candy fly up with bubble until outside the box.

Why I want to play this game:
The graphic of this game is colorful and interesting. The monster has different and cute animation, like when the candy go inside its mouth, it will be so happy, while when the candy almost got hit by electronic waves, it will show shock expression. The gameplay is unique and there’re many levels and versions coming out. It’s also an addictive game.
