Free Computer Game

“Cut the Rope” is a free Microsoft game you can play on your computer, tablet or smartphone at CutTheRope.ie. You slice the rope to knock out stars, free a bubble and deliver candy to the candy monster. At each stage, the process gets more complex. If you play it in Internet Explorer 9, you get 25 game levels. We thought it was fun and a good teaching tool for judging spatial relations and objects in motion. There’s nothing to install, you play online.

Played all the levels in Chrome. I've avoided IE9 for this loptop and don't use IE8 either so I guess I am done. Heh.
