Cut the Rope on the game anthology spine

What the Cut the Rope card lets us say

com.zeptolab.ctr.ads prints 4.4 stars from 2.69M reviews and 100M+ downloads. The tie with Geometry Dash Lite is broken by that smaller band, so this card is fourth. ZeptoLab is the developer. The content rating is Everyone. Badges: Contains ads, In-app purchases. Updated Oct 6, 2026, the newest update line on the spine, ten days before our check. Checked 16 October 2026. No size, no version.

What works on the printed card

The description is about Om Nom, ropes and candy, and it calls the levels physics-based puzzles arranged in boxes. It says the game can be played offline. It says ads can be switched off with a subscription, a special offer, or Play Pass. It says the download is free to play and that some items can be purchased for real money. It links ZeptoLab’s own terms and privacy pages. Data safety says the app may share Location, Financial info, and Device or other IDs, may collect Location, Financial info and 3 others, encrypts data in transit, and says data can’t be deleted.

Where the Cut the Rope card stops

“And 3 others” is as far as the collection summary goes. We do not expand it into a guessed list. The purchases sentence does not include prices. Play Pass is named as a way to switch ads off, which is a different mechanism from Smash Hit’s one-time purchase, and we do not treat them as the same product. The 4.4 tie is real: nothing in the candy text outranks the other 4.4 card under our rule.

Who this listing suits on our spine

It suits a reader who wants the Everyone line, a recently updated card, and a description that talks about turning ads off rather than pretending the ads badge is absent. It is a weaker fit if the rule at home is no purchases, because the badge and the real-money sentence are both on the listing, and if the rule is “data must be deletable”, because this card says data can’t be deleted.

The candy is on ZeptoLab’s build, reached from Play.

The line we would not add

We would not count the boxes or the levels beyond the description’s “hundreds”. We would not claim the Oct 6, 2026 update changed a mechanic. The card did not show us a changelog.

How the game anthology spine holds this card

Fourth place is the other half of the 4.4 tie. Cut the Rope’s download band is 100M+, so it sits under Geometry Dash Lite and above the 4.1 card. The review count, 2.69M, is smaller than the Lite card’s 7.78M, but the rule does not sort by review count. We mention the count because it is on the header, not because it decided the row.

The updated line is the fresh one: Oct 6, 2026. Freshness did not buy a higher place. A reader who wants the card Play touched most recently will find it here, fourth, which is a useful reminder that our sort is stars first. ZeptoLab’s description talks about Om Nom, ropes, candy, boxes, offline play, and switching ads off with a subscription, a special offer, or Play Pass, while the header still says Contains ads and In-app purchases. The free-to-play sentence and the real-money sentence are both in the same description. We keep both.

Data safety is the sterner deletion line: data can’t be deleted. Sharing and collection both name Location and Financial info, plus Device or other IDs, and collection adds “and 3 others” that the summary does not spell. Encryption in transit is present. The content rating is Everyone. The package is com.zeptolab.ctr.ads. The still Play served for this listing is tall; we show it at its own ratio inside the frame instead of cutting it down to a wide banner.

ZeptoLab’s terms and privacy links are theirs. Our privacy page is only about this desk and the localStorage key.

The check date and the update date are easy to tangle, so we split them on purpose. Oct 6, 2026 is ZeptoLab’s updated line. 16 October 2026 is the day we read the card. A week sits between them. That week is not a review of the patch. It is only proof that the two dates are different fields, and both belong in the table. We will not merge them into one date later.
