Poisoned Rope: Logic Puzzle

Some ropes are lying to you. A cut that looks perfectly safe can silently kill the level — and you may not find out until it's far too late. Think first. Then cut.

🕊️ THE SETUP
A rope-cutting logic puzzle: small blue birds hang from a tree branch, tied by ropes — and hungry hawks hang right beside them. Cut the right ropes in the right order to free every bird. Free a hawk by mistake and it attacks the nearest bird. Level over.

☠️ POISONED CUTS
The signature twist. Some cuts don't punish you now — they punish you later. A harmless-looking snip can quietly close off every path to victory, and some traps only reveal the damage several cuts down the line. If you're not planning ahead, you're already losing.

⚖️ RUTHLESS, BUT FAIR
• The moment a level becomes unsolvable, the game detects it and tells you instantly — no time wasted on a dead position.
• Every level is guaranteed solvable by construction. If you lost, the flaw was in your plan, not the puzzle.
• No timers. No speed pressure. No luck. Pure deduction and planning.

🪤 THE TRAPS EVOLVE
New elements unlock as you climb:
• Chained traps — hawks that share lifelines; a wrong cut early in the level shows its consequence at the very end.
• Iron chains that cannot be cut, welding towers together.
• Twin ropes — cut one, and its twin snaps too, wherever it is.
• The balloon hawk — the only hawk that is safe to release. If you notice it.
• Golden levels — a limited scissors budget in exchange for double points.

⭐ CHASE THE PERFECT SOLUTION
• 3 stars per level, scored against the optimal solution.
• Points and a win-streak system reward mastery and speed of thought.
• Past level 100: an extreme challenge tier built for puzzle geniuses.

♾️ INFINITE LEVELS
Levels are procedurally generated on your device — they never repeat, and the difficulty keeps climbing. There is no final level. There is only how far your logic can take you.

💡 STUCK? NO SHAME IN A HINT
Optionally watch a short ad for a hint that lights up the correct rope — or to undo your last cut, even after losing. Never required.
