If you’ve been playing mobile games long enough, you know Cut the Rope. As one of the most popular mobile apps, this delightful yet surprisingly devious puzzle game is — as the title suggests — all about knowing exactly when to cut the rope. Many players know it inside and out, but the Netflix Mobile app has an exclusive new spin on this modern classic that’ll put even Cut the Rope veterans through their paces to keep their winning streak going.

Cut the Rope Daily, from developer ZeptoLab, is exclusive for Netflix subscribers right now. If you’re looking to find just what’s in store for this time-focused twist of the popular game, we’ve got you covered with an explainer on this physics-based brainteaser.

What is Cut the Rope Daily?

Cut the Rope Daily is a series of logic puzzles that spring from the pages of a child’s sketchbook filled with green monsters and candied treats. It presents a playful twist on physics-based logic challenges. Each day, a new puzzle is added into the rotation to test your logic skills and rope-cutting instincts. Every month, a new themed experience drops that adds even more to Cut the Rope Daily. The Netflix-exclusive edition challenges players to keep their daily streak going while competing against friends or other players all over the world.

How do you play Cut the Rope Daily?

Much like the original, Cut the Rope Daily tasks players with collecting all the gold stars in each level with a piece of candy attached to a rope. By taking advantage of the tethered sweet treat, and relying on good old-fashioned physics, you’ll swing the piece of candy, float it in bubbles, or launch it on springboards to gain some height and collect the gold stars. Once you get enough, you’ll need to cap it off by feeding the candied orb to a little green critter named Om Nom, who is patiently waiting for you to deliver its prize.

When you log in each day, you’ll find a new puzzle to solve. Your gameplay efficiency and how many gold stars you collect will determine your progress. As you play and earn points for clearing stages, you’ll earn achievements to unlock new items that you can use to customize your levels. Whether it’s a new background, a different candy, or a unique rope, you’ll rack up various additional ways to personalize your game. Even if you miss new stages or take a day off from playing, you can still try new levels by selecting them from the list of previous challenges in the calendar.

Game Tip: Use strategy and logic when cutting the rope

How challenging is Cut the Rope Daily?

Just like the original game, Cut the Rope Daily is a game that seems simple on the surface but can be a challenge to complete with efficiency. The trick is planning a path through each level, knowing which way to swing and cut the rope, and deciding which gold stars to try to collect first. It can be quite easy to cut the rope too early, send your candy to the abyss below, or miss out on a gold star that’s tucked away. However, the game offers several ways to help you out, and you can also redo stages as much as you want if you’re looking to perfect your run or call for a hint on how best to proceed.
