iPhone BAFTA-winner Cut the Rope takes on Portal in forthcoming 'Magic Box' Easter update
No strings attached
BAFTA-winning iPhone game Cut the Rope is getting an update in the next few days. The 1.3 'Magic Box' update will add pairs of hats between which the sweet you need to guide into Om Nom's mouth can teleport.
The mechanic is strikingly similar to the Pixar animated short Presto, which in turn borrowed heavily from Valve's Portal, in which you create pairs of portals with a big gun.
The update will also include an "egg-citing’ secret trick", according to the press release. We'd hazard a guess that this trick involves an Easter egg in some way.
The aim of casual puzzler Cut the Rope is to cut rope arrangements with your finger in such a way that a dangling sweet can swing or drop into the mouth of Om Nom, the game's star.
It's available now for 59p/99c on iPhone and £1.19/$1.99 on iPad.
