ONE SPELL. ONE CANDY. ONE ADORABLE MONSTER IN BIG TROUBLE. A magical accident has dropped Om Nom into a strange new world. His candy is harder to reach than ever! Cut ropes, use magic, and solve clever physics puzzles as Om Nom transforms to fly, squeeze, and sneak his way through over 160 enchanting levels of sweet, brain-teasing fun. THOSE LEGENDARY PHYSICS PUZZLES Classic Cut the Rope mechanics provide clever challenges! Cut ropes and use timing to collect candy and complete each level. MAGICAL FORMS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING Magic turns Om Nom into something new. Fly as a Bird, squeeze through tiny spaces as a Baby, dive deep as a Fish, pass through walls as a Spirit, sniff out candy as a Mouse, or blast objects away as a Dragon with a mighty sneeze. Different form, different solution — experiment and have fun with it. BOSS LEVELS AHEAD Face the evil wizard behind the magical chaos. These encounters combine timing, logic, and magic — and they don’t go easy on you. FUN FOR ALL AGES Easy to start, satisfying to master. Om Nom’s adventures are enjoyable and rewarding for everyone. PLAY ANYWHERE Fully single-player and works offline. Om nom can be fed even without an internet connection. READY FOR SOME MAGIC? Jump in, start cutting ropes, and help Om Nom get his candy. The spell has already been cast — all that’s missing is you. Cut the Rope: Magic is free to download and play, but some in-game items are available for purchase with real money.
