“Beautiful . . . the innovative gameplay of Cut the Buttons raises games for iOS to a completely new level.” – iphone4c.com, China 

“I dare to say that in App Store there wasn’t anything like this before.” – appgefahren.de, Germany 

“An exciting hit in the App Store that successfully uses the full potential of multi-touch screens. This application can be put together with such “titans of casual games” as Cut the Rope and Fruit Ninja.” – mobi.ru, Russia 

“Who said you can no longer make anything new? Surely it wasn’t the producer of the Cut the Buttons game.” – iphonesoft.fr, France 

- Unique gameplay concept.
- Unique interface.
- Unique multiplayer mode.
- Unique graphics.
- Unique sound effects. 

HOW TO PLAY 
Pick up the scissors with two fingers. Be careful. Don’t cut yourself. Cut off the game launch button by moving the scissor blades just like you would with real scissors. If you happen to be a left-handed player, you can configure the direction of the scissors within the settings menu. 
The scissors are highly maneuverable. You can use them to control the direction at which the buttons fall after being cut. You can also move the cup with the hand that is not controlling the scissors. 

CLASSIC. The game lasts until you miss three scraps of material with buttons left on them. Upon catching 100 buttons in the cup, you can either receive additional points or recover a previously lost button. 
ARCADE. Cut off as many buttons as you can in the allotted time and do your best to drop them in the cup. 

ATTENTION! Don’t cut buttons held down by bolts. Only cut buttons tied down with thread. 
ATTENTION! Don’t press on the display. Your hand can become tired because of excessive pressure. The fingers have to slide on the display. 

TIPS & TRICKS 
* You can hit the buttons in the main menu with a finger. 
* Aim to cut off more than three buttons in a single cutting movement to maximize the amount of points you gain. 
* Reduce the quantity of hand movements. Try to cut more than one button in a single cutting movement. 

Enjoy! Play alone. Play with friends.
Cut, cut, cut.

### 5/5 — GREATEST GAME IN HISTORY

*2020-08-01, version 2.4*

I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME

### 1/5 — Once grand but makes you pay AGAIN

*2018-12-16, version 2.4*

Paid 2$ then play for years and they do a update that adds ADS oh & now you gotta pay AGAIN screw this game.

I’ll downgrade this game on my mini on iOS 6 cause there I’ll the premium version I bought without this new stupid update.

### 3/5 — Annoying ads & IAPs added

*2015-08-16, version 2.3*

When I bought this way back when, it had no ads and I recommended it as a family and kid-friendly app- fun for adults, and awesome on working on fine motor skills for kids too.  Updates are supposed to improve apps for existing customers I thought.  They should have created a separate, lite version to in-app purchase people to death, instead of tampering with a great app.  I do like how the app can be played by left-handers also.

### 5/5 — So cool! Awesome update.
