Cut the Rope Level 146 — Cosmic Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 146★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Level 146 sits between Cut the Rope's broader checkpoints, the kind of in-between puzzle that only really makes sense after you've solved both neighbors.
## Cut the Rope — Cosmic Box, Level 21
**Box:** Cosmic Box | **Level:** 146 (Cosmic Box #21)
## Walkthrough
This level uses bubbles, electric sparks, anti-gravity, rocket boosters and ropes. 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 bubbles** 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 bubbles.
- 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 bubbles 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 146:
- Popping bubbles too early or too late — bubbles need precise timing to redirect the candy toward stars.
- Forgetting that air cushions have a fixed direction and strength, so the candy's entry angle matters.
- Cutting multiple ropes in rapid succession when the level requires waiting for the candy to reach a specific position first.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the Cosmic Box, bubbles are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
