About Rope Rescue
Rope Rescue is a physics puzzle about a small, round friend called Pip dangling from ropes high above the forest floor. Every rope is a real swinging chain. Cut one and Pip swings on the others. Cut them all and Pip falls, keeping whatever speed it had. Your job is to time each cut so Pip lands in the basket.
Twelve rescues bring new tricks. Glowing pegs throw Pip a fresh rope when it swings close, spring pads bounce it high, platforms and baskets slide back and forth, and spikes end the attempt. Three stars float along the best path in every level, so a perfect rescue takes both good aim and good timing.
How to Play
- Swipe across a rope to cut it. You can also tap a rope or press its number.
- Let Pip swing, then cut the last rope at the right moment to fling it.
- Use pegs, spring pads and moving platforms to reach the basket.
- Collect the three stars on the way and avoid the spikes.

Game Objective
Rescue Pip in all twelve levels. Each rescue scores points for stars collected and speed.
Tips & Strategy
- Cutting a rope as Pip passes the bottom of a swing sends it furthest sideways.
- Stars sit on the ideal path. If you miss one, the timing of your last cut was a little off.
- Watch a moving basket for a full cycle before you cut, then count the rhythm.
- Pegs only catch Pip once. Think about which rope to keep before a peg grabs it.
