Play Rope Rescue online
Rope Rescue is an original cut-the-rope physics puzzle: a wrapped candy dangles from ropes above Momo, a hungry green monster, and only a well-timed snip will feed it.
The candy swings with real pendulum physics. Cut at the top of the arc to drop straight down, cut at the bottom to fling it across the room, and in two-rope levels cut one rope first to ride the other into position.
Eight handcrafted levels add spike pits, a patrolling spike guard, and star trails to chase. You have 3 lives and 300 seconds — spend them wisely.

Press START — a wrapped candy hangs from ropes above Momo, a hungry green monster.
- 2
Click or tap a rope to cut it. The candy swings and falls with real pendulum physics.
- 3
Collect the gold stars, dodge the spike balls, and drop the candy into Momo's open mouth to clear the level.
- 4
Clear all 8 levels before the 300-second clock runs out. You have 3 lives — spikes and long falls cost one.
Tips for a better run
Cut at the top of the swing when the mouth is directly below the candy — the drop is a straight vertical line.
Cut at the bottom of the swing when the mouth is far to the side — that is where the candy moves fastest.
In two-rope levels, cut one rope first and ride the other rope to the far side before cutting again.
Stars sit on the swing arc or on the drop line: if a star looks unreachable, you are cutting at the wrong moment.
In the patrol level, wait until the roaming spike drifts to the far end of its path before you cut — the candy falls for about half a second.
Frequently asked questions
How do I cut a rope?
Click or tap directly on a rope to snip it. Any rope can be cut at any time — the candy immediately starts swinging or falling on whatever ropes are left.
When is the best moment to cut?
Watch the swing. Cut at the top of the arc and the candy drops straight down; cut at the bottom of the swing and it flings forward with the most speed. The right moment depends on where Momo's mouth is.
What happens if I hit a spike?
Touching a spike ball costs one of your 3 lives and restarts the current level. Falling off the bottom of the screen costs a life too. Lose all 3 lives and the run ends.
Do I need to collect all the stars to win?
No — stars are bonus points, worth 50 each. They sit on the swing arc or on the drop line, so grabbing them usually means cutting at the perfect moment anyway.
How do I win?
Clear all 8 levels by dropping the candy into Momo's mouth before the 300-second clock runs out. Finishing with time left adds 2 points per leftover second to your score.
