The essential goal of Cut The Rope is to get a piece of candy to Om Nom. However, each stage has three stars that can be obtained by having the candy touch them. It is possible to complete a stage without obtaining any of the stars. To manuever the piece of candy, players can cut ropes attached to the candy. Later stages introduce other obstacles to navigate through such as bubbles, spiders, sliders and pulleys. These obstacles make it more difficult to obtain the stars and feed Om Nom.
