So you may have noticed the web kicking off about how you can now play addictive life-drainer Cut the Rope online for free. It’s part of an Internet Explorer marketing gimmick, but we’ve discovered a dirty secret behind the whole thing…
This version of Cut the Rope has been ported to run in HTML 5 in your browser, and the team at ZeptoLab have made a video (below) explaining how Internet Explorer 10 makes it a piece of cake to do.
The deal goes as far as to lock some levels down, meaning you can only access them if you download IE yourself. All very clever, but something in the behind the scenes video has us scratching our heads.
Cut the Rope spreads its wings to Android
At around the 2:53 mark you can see the ZeptoLabs guys working on the game on an Apple iMac. Unless we’re mistaken, IE no longer supports Macs (or is that the other way round?). That’s weird, isn’t it? Weirder still: the browser they’re testing it in looks like Google Chrome.
So… Your IE game is built on a Mac, using Chrome? Unless we’ve got our maths wrong, all that put together = pretty damn weird. While ZeptoLabs could have just been trying out the game in different browsers, it seems odd to leave that in the final edit, wouldn’t you say?
