Cut the Rope Level 13 — Cardboard Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 13★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Players Google "Cut the Rope Level 13" specifically because the answer feels like it should be obvious — and isn't. That gap between "should be easy" and "actually stuck" is what makes this one worth a walkthrough.
## Cut the Rope — Cardboard Box, Level 13
**Box:** Cardboard Box | **Level:** 13 (Cardboard Box #13)
## Walkthrough
This level uses teleportation, electric sparks and bubbles. 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 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 teleportation.
- 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 Cardboard 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
These opening levels are your physics classroom. Don't just rush to Om Nom — experiment with different cut timings to see how the candy moves. Understanding momentum now saves frustration later when levels add air cushions and teleporters.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 13:
- Rushing to feed Om Nom and skipping the hardest star — getting 2 stars is easy, but the third requires a specific trick.
- Cutting a rope when the candy is at the bottom of its swing instead of the top, resulting in a shorter arc.
- Ignoring the visual hint lines that some levels display briefly at the start, showing the intended cut order.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the Cardboard 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.
