Cut the Rope is now officially out for Android, exclusive to GetJar

b_500_274_16777215_0___images_stories_news_cuttherope_cut-the-rope-android-game.jpg

Well, it has been hinted at for just over a week with the CTRAndroid Twitter account that Cut the Rope would be coming out this Friday. Even though it isn't technically Friday just yet here, Cut the Rope is now out and is available for download exclusively on GetJar.

GetJar happened to be our second guess as to which 3rd party Android App store Cut the Rope would be released on. Our money was on the Amazon App Store but our back-up was GetJar. Either way, the long wait is over and it is now available for download. It's not a small game either! It contains 175 levels in total.

The point of the game is to cut the rope in places where the candy will drop to the hungry Frog-like creature called Om Nom. Of course if you can do it while collecting all the stars in each level, that's even better! The best news though is that Cut the Rope will be free... permanently. So even if you don't get it in the next day or two, you will still be able to pick it up for free at your convenience. Full Press release below for your reading pleasure.

CUT THE ROPE FOR ANDROID DEBUTS EXCLUSIVELY ON GETJAR

Full version offered for free on GetJar before any other app store

SAN MATEO, Calif. – June 24, 2011 – 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,” 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.”
