Cut The Rope: Time Travel
Why We Picked Cut The Rope: Time Travel
Candy hangs from ropes and physics does the rest, so the puzzle is about when to cut rather than where to aim. Time Travel adds a second mouth to feed on many of the stages, which doubles the routing problem while the controls stay the same. It keeps its place because the solutions are legible: when a star is missed, you can see exactly which cut came too early in the sequence.
How to Play
Three things decide whether a run here goes well:
- Swipe across a rope or click it to cut, and let the candy fall free.
- Land the candy in the mouths waiting on the stage, collecting stars placed along the route.
- Cut a rope, watch the swing settle, then cut again, since rushed pairs waste the arc.
Editor’s Note
Physics puzzles with a friendly face. Levels run short, the star goals are optional, and from the second era onward two mouths to feed at once raise the price of a careless cut.

Cut The Rope: Time Travel sends Om Nom on a trip through history, and this time he is not the only one with a sweet tooth. The little green monster tumbles back through the ages to meet his ancestors, and each era pairs him with a hungry relative from another time. Your mission stays deliciously simple: get the candy into their mouths. With two creatures to feed on many stages, the classic rope-cutting formula gets a fresh twist that fans and newcomers will both appreciate.
The core mechanic is the one that made the series famous. Candy dangles from ropes, and you swipe or click across a rope to cut it, letting physics carry the treat where it needs to go. Timing cuts so the candy swings, drops, or bounces through the level is the whole art. Along the way you will encounter the series' familiar toys: bubbles that lift the candy upward, air cushions that blow it sideways, and stars placed in tempting but tricky spots that reward clever routing.
Progression moves you from one historical period to the next, and each new era introduces its own gadgets and layouts. Early levels ease you in with single ropes and obvious solutions, while later stages layer multiple ropes, moving obstacles, and the challenge of feeding both Om Nom and his ancestor with the same carefully planned sequence. Collecting all the stars on a level is the real test of mastery, often requiring a completely different approach than simply finishing it.
Experience teaches a few reliable habits. Before cutting anything, trace the candy's likely path in your head and note where the stars sit. Cut ropes one at a time and watch the swing before committing to the next cut, because patience beats speed here. And when candy needs to split attention between two mouths, feed the harder-to-reach monster first.
Cut The Rope: Time Travel is ideal for puzzle lovers of any age, from kids drawn in by the cute monsters to adults who enjoy tight physics design. It plays free in your browser on desktop and mobile devices alike.
