## Cut the Rope — Cosmic Box, Level 17
**Box:** Cosmic Box | **Level:** 142 (Cosmic Box #17)
## Walkthrough
This level uses electric sparks, candy transformers, bubbles, magic hats and time reversals. 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 electric sparks** 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 electric sparks.
- 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 Cosmic Box introduces electric sparks 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 142:
- Using teleporters without first checking where the exit teleporter is positioned relative to stars.
- Not accounting for gravity switches that reverse the candy's fall direction mid-level.
- Attempting to collect stars in visual order (left to right) when the physics require a different sequence.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the Cosmic Box, electric sparks are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
