To cut off the buttons, select two or more buttons of the same color. You can select buttons only on the same horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. Cut off all the buttons from the scrap of denim to complete the level. Try to complete each level in the shortest time possible to get a better score.\n\nYou cannot cut off a single button, so plan your strategy in advance! Buttons and Scissors is a fun way to improve your logical thinking and train your brain.\n\nTutorial:\n\nWhen you begin playing the game for the first time, there will be a tutorial level. You will be presented with a scrap of denim and a number of different colored buttons. Each current move will be displayed as a white arrow. Touch the first button and move your finger to the last button of the same color you wish to select in that line, and then release your finger. All selected buttons will then be cut off with a scissors, if selected correctly.\n\nMain features:\n\n- Realistic sewing buttons and scissors\n- 5x5, 5x6, 6x6 and 7x7 levels\n- Unlimited Undo\n- iCloud support\n- Leaderboard\n- Solutions for levels\n\nIMPORTANT: No real buttons were cut off in the making of this game!","facts":{"developer_id":511648908,"developer_url":"https://www.kyworks.com","first_released":"2013-07-02T20:50:16Z","support_url":null,"privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"1.9.6","release_notes":"Minor bug fixes","rating_current_version":4.60193,"rating_count_current_version":1766,"star_counts":null,"genres":["Games","Family","Puzzle"],"languages":["EN","FR","DE","IT","RU","ES"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":null,"made_for_iphone_duo":null,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-10-24T02:44:12.732Z","catalog_read_at":null,"reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-10-24T03:30:14.646Z","placed_at":"2026-10-24T02:28:12.797Z","scored_at":"2026-10-24T11:42:15.107Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Logic puzzle where you cut off sewing buttons by selecting two or more same-colored buttons in a straight line.","what_is":"Buttons and Scissors is a logic puzzle game in which the player removes sewing buttons from a scrap of denim.
