Cut the Rope Level 104 — Valentine Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 104★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
If Level 103 of Cut the Rope felt routine, Level 104 is the kind that breaks the pattern. The devs schedule these on purpose — usually right where players start solving on autopilot.
## Cut the Rope — Valentine Box, Level 4
**Box:** Valentine Box | **Level:** 104 (Valentine Box #4)
## Walkthrough
This level uses ropes, magic hats, time reversals, candy transformers and bubbles. The candy starts through the center and Om Nom is waiting at the bottom.
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. **First, observe the layout.** Look at where the candy hangs and trace a path to Om Nom. Note every rope, bubble, and obstacle.
2. **Cut the first rope** — the one holding the candy closest to the top. This drops the candy toward the first star.
3. **Use the ropes** to redirect the candy toward the second star. Timing is important here — wait until the candy swings to its peak before activating.
4. **Collect the final star** by popping the bubble at the right moment.
5. **Guide the candy to Om Nom.** If you miss a star, the candy should still reach Om Nom — just replay for a perfect score.
### Getting All 3 Stars
- Star 1: Drops naturally when you cut the first rope.
- Star 2: Requires precise timing with the ropes.
- Star 3: The hardest one — you need to use the bubble to float up before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The Valentine Box introduces ropes which add a new dimension to your puzzle-solving. Don't rush — watch the candy's momentum and plan two moves ahead.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
Focus on the hardest star first and build your solution around collecting it. The easier stars usually fall into place once you nail the critical timing. If a star requires an air cushion bounce, practice that single interaction before adding rope cuts.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 104:
- Treating each mechanic independently when the solution requires chaining them — e.g., a rope cut into a bubble into a cushion bounce.
- Not experimenting with cutting ropes in reverse order from what seems intuitive.
- Forgetting that some levels have optional mechanics (like extra bubbles) that exist to misdirect you from the optimal path.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the Valentine Box, ropes are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
