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!
Cut, cut, cut.

Pros and cons of Cut the Buttons app for iPhone and iPad

Cut the Buttons app good for

The sound of the scissors snapping, the buttons hitting the cup, and the wild colors make the game. Beautiful and imaginative. Thumbs up!

Fun and very addictive! The only downside is that the way you have to position your hand to play is a little hard on the wrists while playing.

The scissors game is fun, just have to have small fingers for it. :)

I like this game. Its a good twist from fruit ninja but this is a bit harder as you really do need to move both fingers instead of just swiping the screen with your finger. Not to mention it gradually gets faster as well which makes all the more fun.

Id play this game for hours if it didnt hurt my hand so much! Touch screen scissors arent very ergonomical :)

this app is so fun and entertained you for hours. it may take a while for your hands to get used to the scissors but after that it is so fun.

Some bad moments

Difficult to maneuver the scissors, a lot like fruit ninja, if the scissors touch the electric buttons without trying to cut them you lose points. An over all frustrating game. I got it for free, definitely would NOT buy it.

Loved it at first so I would have rated it 5 stars but now it is getting a bit bad I would not buy this app

The silliest game I have EVER played. Nothing more to say other than I am glad I did not have to pay for it!

Was about to delete this stupid game, then felt i needed to tell others how bad it is. Yah thats right im going out of my way to say how dumb this game is. Terrible controls and a stupid premise...buttons really? Couldnt think of anything better? -3 stars

Its Fruit Ninja with awkward controls. Just play Fruit Ninja.

I just tried this game and like everyone else says... The controls are very hard on iPhone. I used my thumb to try to move the cup but then I couldnt see where the buttons were landing and the scissors were all over the place. Sorry but not worth the trouble with this app.
