User Rating:If someone asks me to pick one app I couldn’t live without, it would surely be Cut the Rope. The extreme respect for Physics and the colorful graphics gets to me everytime I tap the icon. Today, we are taking a look at the special release Cut the Rope : Experiments HD.
I hope you have had your hands on at least the free version and the basics are clear. There is this cute little frog named OmNom and he’s hungry. All he eats is candies and its you, who has to cut ropes, swing candies and land it to his mouth (yah, he is that lazy)! Observe, plan and execute with perfect timing to make him happy.
As the name suggests, the Experiments version packs a set of new innovations tried by the developers on the broad CtR base. Each world introduces a new object like harpoon, suction cups, rockets, water environment and robo arm which brings forth an entirely different gameplay with refreshed puzzling experience.
It is to be noted that the challenge is not to just feed OmNom as this can be pretty east at times. The real addiction starts when you strive to collect all 3 stars and this may take hours to crack. In case you are stuck, tap on the lightning to activate Telekinesis where you can just flip the candy to your cutie. Various achievements are noted in Game Center, while you can build your album by finding pictures hidden in levels.
The execution of the game is similar to the original, and hence, is one of the best ever. The animations are simple yet really attractive while the background score is a cherry on top. Occasional comments like ‘exceptional’, ‘great intelligence’, ‘let’s try again’ etc are super effective. The developers are pushing their new release Pudding Monsters with frequent ads and is sometimes annoying, yet not a deal-breaker. Though there is no universal version, 99 cents for each one sounds fine to me!

Would I Buy Again:Waiting for new levels!
