Cut the Rope: Experiments is another physics-based, logic-puzzle game in the Cut the Rope series. Om Nom has found himself in a sticky situation yet again. After his box falls accidentally off the back of a moving van, Om Nom becomes the focus of experiments by a scientist, the Professor, who lives nearby and wants to learn more about Nommies. The player's task is to help Om Nom succeed with each experiment and eat swirly hard candy.
The game contains eight sections (Getting Started, Shooting the Candy, Sticky Steps, Rocket Science, Bath Time, Handy Candy, Ant Hill and Bamboo Chutes) and hundreds of levels. The player must collect as many stars as possible per level to save enough to unlock new sections. As with previous games, they cut one or more ropes attached to a candy to feed Om Nom. They must time their actions perfectly to guarantee that they collect every star and that the candy falls into his mouth. If the candy drops elsewhere, they must restart the level.
Cut the Rope: Experiments also features new challenges. The player must collect eight hidden photos for the Professor's Album. They also use various unique tools, including chutes, robotic arms, rockets, rope guns and suction cups. In Ant Hill, they must direct candy toward and away from ants.
