Cut the Rope Level 311 — Steam Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 311★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Level 311 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 — Steam Box, Level 11
**Box:** Steam Box | **Level:** 311 (Steam Box #11)
## Walkthrough
This level uses teleportation, electric sparks, air cushions, magic hats and rocket boosters. 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 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 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 teleportation.
- Star 3: The hardest one — you need to time the rocket boosters perfectly before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The Steam 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
For the hardest levels, work backwards: where does Om Nom need the candy to arrive from? What's the last mechanic interaction before delivery? Trace backwards from Om Nom through each star to the candy's starting position. This reverse-engineering approach often reveals the intended solution path.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 311:
- 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 Steam 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.
