Meet the Nommies: Om Nom's Puzzle Partners

Seven cheerful helpers, each with a different power, make Cut the Rope 2 feel like a co-op puzzle adventure. Learn how to use them wisely instead of randomly tapping.

Roto – The Sky Lift

Ability: Carries the creature horizontally or vertically, placing them in better spots.

Puzzle use: Perfect for reaching ropes, fruits or buttons that are too far away from the starting platform.

  • Best when: You need to change the starting angle of a swing.
  • Common mistake: Dropping too early and missing a safe landing.
  • Try combining with: Blue for vertical boosts.

Lick – The Tongue Bridge

Ability: Stretches its tongue into a bridge that candy or the creature can rest on.

Puzzle use: Adds new surfaces, turning risky gaps into safe paths for fruit collection.

  • Best when: You need a mid-air stop before the candy continues.
  • Common mistake: Forgetting that the bridge is temporary.
  • Try combining with: Toss to bounce candy onto the tongue.

Blue – The Stackable Booster

Ability: Clones itself into a stack that launches the creature upward.

Puzzle use: Reaches high ropes, fruits glued to ceilings and upper platforms.

  • Best when: One more rope or fruit sits just out of reach.
  • Common mistake: Adding too many Blues and overshooting.
  • Try combining with: Roto to drift sideways after a boost.

Toss – The Candy Launcher

Ability: Throws objects and candy along an arc.

Puzzle use: Sends candy across gaps, into bubbles or along star-lined routes.

  • Best when: Straight swings cannot reach the last star.
  • Common mistake: Tapping without aiming for a clear landing spot.
  • Try combining with: Lick or platforms to cushion the landing.

Boo – The Spooky Jumper

Ability: Scares the creature so it jumps.

Puzzle use: Changes timing or direction, especially when the creature is on moving surfaces.

  • Best when: You need a quick burst of motion without cutting ropes.
  • Common mistake: Scaring too early and missing fruit.
  • Try combining with: Blue for layered jumps.

Snailbrow – The Wall Walker

Ability: Crawls along walls and ceilings while pushing objects.

Puzzle use: Slides boxes, candy or switches into position across unusual surfaces.

  • Best when: You see items stuck on vertical or upside-down paths.
  • Common mistake: Forgetting to time pushes with moving hazards.
  • Try combining with: Toss to launch objects after pushing.

Ginger – The Flame Friend

Ability: Burns away certain obstacles blocking candy or paths.

Puzzle use: Clears wooden blocks, ropes or barriers so new routes appear.

  • Best when: The direct path is closed and you spot flammable objects.
  • Common mistake: Burning supports too soon and dropping candy into danger.
  • Try combining with: Lick to create a safe resting point after burning a bridge.

Three Objectives in Every Puzzle

Each level in Cut the Rope 2 is really three mini-adventures. Play once to feed the creature, again to gather extra fruit, and a third time to race the timer. Completing all three earns the best rewards.

Three colourful puzzle cards connected by ropes, representing feeding Om Nom, collecting fruit and beating the clock.

Feed Om Nom

This is the core puzzle: cut ropes and move objects so the candy lands safely in the creature's mouth.

  • Focus on understanding how the level works.
  • Ignore the timer and extra goals at first.
  • Perfect for younger players learning the basics.

Collect the Fruit

Replay the puzzle and adjust your path so the candy or the creature touches every fruit piece.

  • Plan routes that zig-zag through fruit clusters.
  • Use Nommies to reach side areas.
  • Expect to try a few times before finding the best path.

Beat the Clock

Now you know the route. Repeat it quickly, making confident cuts before the timer runs out.

  • Count to yourself before cutting so timing stays steady.
  • Prepare your taps in advance instead of reacting late.
  • Great for older kids who like a bit of pressure.

Clearing all three objectives across many levels helps fill star meters, unlock C coins and award shiny medals and hats. Our Collectibles guide explains how to track your progress without stress.

How Ropes, Gravity and Timing Work Together

Instead of heavy science terms, we use easy diagrams and plain-language descriptions so everyone at home can follow along.

Rope cutting & swinging

Think of ropes as soft bridges that also let candy swing like a playground swing.

  • Cut early in the swing to send candy upward.
  • Cut at the lowest point for a straight, fast drop.
  • Use multiple ropes to change direction mid-air.

Gravity & momentum

Gravity pulls candy down, while momentum is the "keep going" feeling after it starts moving.

  • Longer swings mean stronger pushes forward.
  • Small nudges can become big moves after a few swings.
  • Use slopes and ramps to guide candy gently.

Timing & collisions

Some puzzles feel like little traffic systems. Objects move, doors open and platforms appear on a rhythm.

  • Watch a level once without cutting to learn the pattern.
  • Tap when paths are clear, not just when candy is close.
  • Collide candy with boxes or bumpers to change its angle.

Bridges, platforms & obstacles

Bridges and moving platforms act like mini-stages inside the level, while spikes and gaps punish rushed moves.

  • Use Lick and Snailbrow to add or move surfaces.
  • Let moving platforms carry the creature before cutting.
  • Wait for obstacles to reset instead of forcing risky cuts.

Character abilities & chain reactions

Nommies create little chain reactions when you use them in the right order.

  • Plan from the end: Where does the candy need to finish?
  • Trigger Nommies one at a time to see what they change.
  • Combine movement (Blue, Roto, Boo) with path-makers (Lick, Snailbrow, Ginger).

Strategy Lab: From First Rope Cut to Medal Runs

Puzzle Lab is our editorial hub where we turn tricky levels into understandable step-by-step paths with arrows, candy trails and simple planning checklists.

Plan rope cuts like a path, not random taps

Before touching the screen, trace the candy's path with your eyes: which ropes will hold it first, second and third?

  • Mark key moments: "If I cut here, candy lands on that box."
  • Imagine the swing direction before you cut.
  • Reset quickly if the first move feels wrong.

Use Nommies with a purpose

Each helper should solve one clear problem, like reaching a fruit, crossing a gap or changing direction.

  • Ask, "What job does this Nommie do in this level?"
  • Avoid triggering several helpers at once until you know why.
  • Teach kids to test one change at a time.

Fruit routes & time trials

Once you know the basic solution, add fruit and timers one layer at a time.

  • Map an "all fruit" path even if it is slow.
  • Then remove extra swings for the fast version.
  • Use power-ups only when teaching or stuck, not every run.

Fix common mistakes, learn advanced tricks

Rushing cuts, ignoring side paths and forgetting Nommies are the biggest early challenges.

  • Encourage kids to take a "watching turn" before a "cutting turn".
  • Look for extra ropes, fruits or buttons hiding off-screen.
  • Advanced players can practise double-cuts and bounce chains.

From Forest Trails to Glowing Tunnels

Each world feels like a new day trip: leafy walks, busy streets, creative junk piles and sparkling underground passages. Use this overview to help kids picture where their next puzzle takes place.

Play Anywhere, Share with Everyone

Cut the Rope 2 works well for short breaks, road trips and quiet evenings. Our guides are written so siblings, parents, grandparents and friends can enjoy solving puzzles together.

Offline-friendly fun

Many parts of the game can be enjoyed without a constant connection, making it ideal for long drives, flights across Canada or cottages with slower internet.

  • Replay favourite levels to practise timing and fruit routes.
  • Challenge family members to beat your star count.
  • Use our printed-style checklists to track medals by hand.

Accessible controls & gentle difficulty steps

Tap, swipe and simple drag actions make the game friendly for kids learning fine motor skills and older relatives who prefer relaxed controls.

  • Difficulty ramps up slowly from the Forest to later worlds.
  • Short levels keep frustration low and wins frequent.
  • Our guides flag which levels are best for beginners or advanced players.

Family play ideas

Turn puzzle solving into a shared activity instead of solo screen time.

  • "Planner & Cutter" mode: one person plans moves, the other taps.
  • Use Nommies as characters in a made-up story while you play.
  • Set gentle family goals: finish a world, earn a certain number of stars, or collect a new hat.
