Cut the Rope for Windows Phone gets three new level packs at last

When Cut the Rope: Experiments arrived on Windows Phone last month, fans of the Cutting the Rope series were of grade pleased to see another installment on our platform. But the sequel's arrival also reminded u.s.a. that the showtime Cut the Rope had yet to receive an update since launch. The original game on Windows Phone had only 275 levels - 75 less than other versions.

As mobile Xbox gamers surely know, Rovio has been busy updating several of its Angry Birds games lately. Now it looks like Russian developer ZeptoLab has decided to join in the fun, considering they've updated Cutting the Rope at last! The update brings our version upwardly to par with the iOS and Android games and gives players a great reason to rejoin Om Nom on his quest for candy.

The fundamental feature of the update is the addition of three new level boxes:

Spooky Box – iOS release date: August 23, 2022 – Adds ghosts to the game
Steam Box – iOS release date: January x, 2022 – Adds Steam valves to the game
Lantern Box – iOS release date: Feb 7, 2022 – Adds Chinese lanterns to the game

Each box contains 25 levels, then Cut the Rope on Windows Phone now has 350 levels – only like every other version. Nice!

Interestingly, the level packs are at present divided up into seasons instead of ane long list like before. Players can jump between seasons at any time, regardless of a previous flavor's completion. The beginning box in every season starts out unlocked past default. Nonetheless, stars from one season don't contribute to unlocking level boxes in future seasons. So yous'll need to put the eleven^th level pack, DJ Box through its paces before you can unlock the new boxes, even if you already have piles of stars from earlier boxes.

More than cartoons as well

At the bottom of the new flavour selection screen, yous tin also leap to the Cartoon menu. Previously, the game only linked to the offset episode of Om Nom Stories via an option on the title screen. At present, players can hands access and enjoy the drawing series' first thirteen episodes (fourteen and 15 are MIA). Kids and the immature and heart volition certainly have fun watching the game's protagonist Om Nom get into problem.

Experiments next?

It's fantastic that ZeptoLab released these new level packs and revised the game'southward UI with this update. We know that updating games through the Xbox Live certification procedure tin can be time consuming and costly for developers. Perhaps those factors inspired this dev to hold out until they had a sizable amount of content to add before working on the update.

That begs the question though - what almost Cutting the Rope: Experiments? ZeptoLab'due south follow-upwards game launched with 150 levels on Windows Phone, whereas other versions have an extra box (Ant Hill) for a total of 175 levels. Check out our review for more details.

The developer might merely choose to concur out for some other level box to release on other platforms before they choose to update Experiments on Windows Phone. Only we can hope it comes sooner, merely as many of united states of america promise for Cut the Rope: Fourth dimension Travel to bustle upwardly and come over!
