Cut the Rope is a physics puzzle with one goal in every level: get the candy into Om Nom's mouth. The candy hangs from ropes; you cut them with a swipe and let momentum, gravity, bubbles, air cushions and rocket boosters do the rest. Three stars sit in awkward places along the way, and collecting all three is the real challenge.
ZeptoLab released it in 2010 and it sold tens of millions of copies on the strength of one thing: every level looks solvable in a second and takes ten attempts. The little green monster helped — Om Nom became a mascot on the level of Angry Birds' birds.
The little green creature you feed in every level — ZeptoLab's mascot, introduced in Cut the Rope in 2010 and since given his own cartoon series and sequels.
The candy must pass through all three stars on its way to Om Nom, in one run. It usually means timing your cuts so the swing carries the candy through the awkward star rather than dropping straight down.
Yes. It is a light 2D physics game that runs in the browser with nothing to install, with mouse or touch controls.
