How to play
A mysterious package has arrived, and the little monster inside has one request: candy. Your job is to cut the rope so the candy drops into Om Nom’s mouth. The candy swings on its ropes, so where and when you cut decides where it falls. Collect gold stars along the way, discover hidden prizes and unlock new levels as you go. The developer describes the game as physics-based, which means the candy moves the way a hanging object would. Each cut changes its path.
Controls explained
Cutting is your main action. Use the cut ropes or interact control to cut a rope and send the candy moving. The same interaction covers the other objects you meet in the levels. Plan the order of your cuts before you start. One rope can set the candy swinging toward a star, and a second cut can drop it into Om Nom’s mouth. Cut too early and the candy may miss both.
Tips
- Watch how the candy swings before you cut. A rope under tension carries the candy in an arc, and that arc often passes a star.
- Cut one rope at a time. Each cut changes the candy’s path, so a second cut made too soon can send it past Om Nom.
- Go for the stars before the mouth. Collect what you can on the way down, since the goal is to feed the candy to Om Nom.
- Use the level layout. Ropes, stars and Om Nom sit in fixed spots, so you can plan a route before making the first cut.
- If a drop fails, try a different cut order. The same ropes can produce different paths depending on which one goes first.
