Cut the Rope Level 356 — Cheese Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 356★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
When I ran through Cut the Rope myself, Level 356 was one of the puzzles where I had to put the phone down and think for longer than I wanted to admit. The walkthrough below is what I worked out, plus the reason the trick works.
## Cut the Rope — Cheese Box, Level 6
**Box:** Cheese Box | **Level:** 356 (Cheese Box #6)
## Walkthrough
This level uses ropes, candy transformers, teleportation, 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 ropes** 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 candy transformers 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 ropes.
- Star 3: The hardest one — you need to time the rocket boosters perfectly before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The Cheese Box introduces ropes 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 356:
- 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 Cheese Box, ropes are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
