Cut the Rope is a popular physics-based puzzle video game series developed by ZeptoLab. Players must cut ropes to guide candy into the mouth of the adorable monster, Om Nom, while avoiding obstacles.
Cut the Rope is a fun and addictive physics-based puzzle video game series created by the Russian game development company ZeptoLab. First released in 2010, the original Cut the Rope game became an immediate hit, with over 600 million downloads across various platforms. Its main character, the cute little green monster named Om Nom, has become an iconic figure in mobile gaming.
In each Cut the Rope level, candy is hanging from ropes and the player must cut those ropes with precise timing to guide the candy into Om Nom's mouth. But it's not that simple - various obstacles and contraptions get in the way, from bubbles that float the candy away, to spiders that try to steal the treat. It takes creative thinking to navigate around these to ultimately please the adorably voracious Om Nom.
The brilliantly designed physics engine gives the game very realistic motion and interaction between objects, making it hugely satisfying when you finally figure out the sequence of cuts and movements needed to get the candy to its destination. From the original game, the series expanded to include titles like Cut the Rope: Experiments, Cut the Rope: Time Travel, and Cut the Rope 2, each introducing fun new elements and ways to feed Om Nom while keeping the classic Cut the Rope gameplay.
With its combination of unique, physics-based puzzles, an iconic character, and easy pick-up-and-play appeal, it's no wonder Cut the Rope has been downloaded over 1.7 billion times worldwide across mobile, console, and computer platforms, cementing its status as one of the most popular and recognizable mobile game franchises.
