## Cut the Rope — Valentine Box, Level 24
**Box:** Valentine Box | **Level:** 124 (Valentine Box #24)
## Walkthrough
This level uses teleportation, time reversals, ropes, air cushions and candy transformers. The candy starts from the right side 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 teleportation** 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 using the time reversals to swing the candy wide.
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 teleportation.
- Star 3: The hardest one — you need to time the candy transformers perfectly before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The Valentine Box introduces teleportation 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
Three-star completions at this level separate casual players from devoted fans. If you can get the candy to Om Nom but miss a star, you're close. Replay and adjust your timing by tiny increments — the right window is narrow but repeatable.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 124:
- 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, teleportation are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
