Cut The Rope Is Updated With iCloud Syncing And On Nom Receives A New Box To Play In
December 21, 2011
Many developers have been working hard to pump out updates before the Christmas holiday App Store lockdown, the time where the App Store review team gets a break. For fans of Cut the Rope, you'll be glad to hear that ZeptoLab was able to get some new content out and even add iCloud integration to synchronize game progress in time for those family get togethers.
First up in Cut the Rope v1.6 is the new box. The Buzz Box is busy as a bee. Actually, it's as busy as several bees. Anyway, the newest item to enter On Nom's world is the honey bee. These little workaholics are pulling on ropes while flying around the 25 new levels. Take a mental note of the bee's or bees' path(s) and figure out how to use those movement to, you guessed it, collect the stars and get On Nom his treat. As with the other boxes, you'll need to have earned enough stars to gain access and there's another hidden On Nom drawing to uncover.
The second addition is only relevant if your iDevice is running iOS 5.0 or later and you have an iCloud account. As part of the new iOS and Apple's latest "cloud" service, developers can place game save data in your iCloud storage space -- with your permission, of course. The advantage is other iDevices can access this data seamlessly and keep your game progress up-to-date no matter which iDevice you're using. Make sure to have your iCloud credentials entered into the iOS Settings app, then enable the iCloud feature within the settings area of Cut the Rope.
Further changes in Cut the Rope and Cut the Rope HD v1.6 include:
• Reordered level boxes - to ensure better playing experience
• Various optimizations and fixes
Cut the Rope is designed for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or later, and available in the App Store for $0.99. Cut the Rope HD is compatible with iPad running iOS 3.2 or later, and available in the App Store for $1.99.
