Cut the Rope & Om Nom Games: Play the Official Series Free in Your Browser (2026)

Cut the Rope & Om Nom Games: The Official Series, Free in Your Browser

Published August 26, 2026 · Original hand-tested by BooBoo Editorial

Few mobile-era characters earned a permanent seat at the table. Om Nom — the small green monster with a candy dependency — is one of them: ZeptoLab's rope-cutting puzzle grew from a 2010 App Store hit into a billion-download franchise, a cartoon series, and a family of games that never stopped being good. The part most people don't know: the official builds run free in a browser now, and our licensed catalog carries nine of them.

This page is the family tree — every official entry we host, what each one changes, and where to start.

Transparency note: the original has been play-tested by our editors — its game page carries the full hand-review, including a cleared level and the collectible unlock we captured. The other entries are official licensed builds linked as quick-plays, not individually reviewed.

The rope-cutting originals

1. Cut The Rope — where it began (hand-reviewed)

Play Cut The Rope →

The 2010 blueprint, intact: one candy, some ropes, three stars, one hungry monster. Our editors play-tested this exact build — misjudged the first cut, cleared Level 1-1, fed Om Nom, and unlocked the first collectible drawing on camera. The full review covers what holds up (everything) and the one thing to know about your first swipe.

2. Cut The Rope 2

The proper sequel: new grounds beyond the cardboard box, new friends with their own physics tricks, and level design that assumes you've graduated from the tutorial.

3. Cut The Rope: Magic

Play Cut The Rope Magic →

Om Nom learns to shape-shift — bird, fish, baby form — and every transformation rewrites what a level's geometry means. The most puzzle-forward entry.

4. Cut The Rope: Time Travel

Play Cut The Rope Time Travel →

Two Om Noms per level — present-day and an ancestor — and every candy has to reach both. Doubles the planning without doubling the rules.

5. Cut The Rope: Experiments

The mad-science chapter: rope shooters, suction cups, and a professor narrating your progress. Mechanically the most gadget-dense of the originals.

The Om Nom spin-offs

• Om Nom Run — the lane runner, and Famobi's #1 "Best" shelf entry at the time of writing: dash through the city, dodge, jump, and collect. The candy chase at running speed.
• Om Nom Bubbles — arcade bubble popping with the franchise's charm intact.
• Om Nom Connect Classic — the tile-linking logic puzzle, Om Nom edition.
• Om Nom Tower 3D — stack the tower straight, or watch it lean the way towers do.

Which one first?

• Never played any: the original — the reviewed entry is still the best first hour in the series.
• Played the original to death in 2012: Cut The Rope 2, then Magic.
• Here for Om Nom, not the physics: Om Nom Run.
• Want maximum puzzle: Magic or Time Travel.
