Cut the Rope Level 170 — Toy Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 170★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Cut the Rope Level 170 sits about 40% through the game's 425-level run — late enough that the obvious patterns no longer work, early enough that the mechanics still favor lateral thinking.
## Cut the Rope — Toy Box, Level 20
**Box:** Toy Box | **Level:** 170 (Toy Box #20)
## Walkthrough
This level uses anti-gravity, electric sparks, time reversals, ropes and air cushions. 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 anti-gravity** 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 electric sparks 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 anti-gravity.
- Star 3: The hardest one — you need to time the air cushions perfectly before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The Toy Box introduces anti-gravity 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 170:
- Cutting the nearest rope first without considering the candy's full path to all three stars and Om Nom.
- Ignoring momentum — the candy continues moving after a rope is cut, and timing the cut at the swing's peak gives maximum distance.
- Not replaying the level to observe star positions before attempting a three-star run.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the Toy Box, anti-gravity are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
