Cut the Rope

A strange little side quest

Grombi trivia break for Cut the Rope: By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. That is only half the story. The name Tetris combines a reference to four-square pieces with Pajitnov's interest in tennis. That history is one reason familiar mechanics can still feel new when they are recombined well.
