How to play Rope Drop
The golden acorn hangs on one or more ropes. Swipe your finger or mouse across a rope to cut it. The acorn swings, falls and bounces with real physics. Get it into Hazel's paws to clear the level, and touch the three gems on the way for a perfect score.
Timing is everything. Cut while the acorn swings one way and it flies that way. Cut at the bottom of the swing and it drops almost straight down.
Things you will meet
- Hooks: a dashed circle around a pin. When the acorn passes inside, a new rope grabs it and it starts to swing.
- Bouncy mushrooms: the acorn bounces off them, so aim your drop to ricochet towards Hazel.
- Bubbles: the acorn floats up inside a bubble. Tap the bubble to pop it and let the acorn fall again.
- Puff clouds: tap a cloud to blow the acorn in the direction it faces.
- Spikes: touching them sends you back to the start of the level.

Tips
- Watch one swing first. The level waits until you touch it, so take a moment to plan.
- Cut at the end of a swing to send the acorn sideways, or at the bottom to drop it.
- Use the Hint button if you are stuck. The rope or cloud to use next glows.
- Gems are optional. Clear the level first, then come back for a perfect score.
