Cut the Rope is marking its impressive 15th anniversary
Collectible cards showcasing Om Nom’s unforgettable journey are now available
After one billion downloads, the adventure is far from over

Ah, Cut the Rope—now that’s a blast from the past. If you recall carefully swiping ropes to deliver candy to a tiny green creature, you’ve likely known Om Nom longer than you realized. And if you’re part of Gen Alpha, this series might be as old as your earliest memories.

Fifteen years after its debut, ZeptoLab is honoring Cut the Rope with a special anniversary event that blends heartfelt nostalgia with fresh, clever puzzles. The update introduces a new card collection system, highlighting Om Nom’s most memorable transformations throughout the franchise—from his 2010 origins to his magical upgrades and time-bending adventures.

Earn collectible cards by completing levels, each one capturing a pivotal moment in Om Nom’s surprisingly emotional journey. Solve more puzzles to unlock additional cards, and complete the full set to claim exclusive milestone rewards. These cards are only available during the anniversary period, so longtime fans won’t want to miss out.

I don’t need to prove Cut the Rope’s success—it’s been downloaded over a billion times since launch, inspired multiple sequels and spin-offs, and even launched a popular animated series. Through every version—from Experiments and Magic to Cut the Rope 3—the core remains unchanged: intuitive physics, smart level design, and a candy-obsessed creature who’s still hungry after all these years.

For a deeper dive into Om Nom’s legacy, Stephen’s feature explores 15 years of the Cut the Rope series, featuring an interview with ZeptoLab’s Efim Voinov on the studio’s evolution from premium to free-to-play.
