-(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cut the Rope, the award-winning game from mobile game development studio, ZeptoLab, is now available for Android devices and is launching exclusively for one week as an ad-supported, free game on GetJar, the world’s largest free app store. The hugely popular app was an instant phenomenon in the iOS App Store, reaching the #1 spot globally, and recently won the coveted Apple Design Award for the Best iPhone Developer showcase as well as a BAFTA award for Best Handheld Game. Cut the Rope for Android will be distributed widely on additional app stores following the GetJar exclusive.

“Demand for Cut the Rope on Android has surged since we first launched on the iOS platform last year”

“Demand for Cut the Rope on Android has surged since we first launched on the iOS platform last year,” said Efim Voinov, CTO at ZeptoLab. “We have worked diligently to bring the same level of quality gameplay and fun to Android users that iOS users have been enjoying over the past year. We are excited to partner with GetJar to offer our fans a free version of the game during its first week on the Android platform and we look forward to the response from this new audience.”

Cut the Rope is an addictive, physics-based game that appeals to all ages. Om Nom, the adorable and ravenous little green monster, has one passion – candy! Players must cut an increasingly complicated series of ropes to release candy into the mouth of Om Nom, while capturing a series of stars on the way down, in this highly innovative and stimulating puzzle game that combines outstanding physics, 175 tricky levels, and fun, colorful, high-definition visuals.

GetJar, which has amassed nearly 2 billion downloads across 190 countries, is a popular resource for exclusive app launches among game developers. Unlike other app stores, the company offers developers a global consumer audience that is eager for free, hot games and other applications.

“Cut The Rope reflects the best of the best in mobile gaming today. The ingenious level game design, quirky protagonist and totally addictive gameplay are a testament to how good gaming is becoming on Android,” said Patrick Mork, GetJar CMO. “We are proud to partner with the team at ZeptoLab to help bring this epic franchise to Android owners the world over.”
