Cut the Rope 2 Finally Makes its Debut on Android

The Cut the Rope franchise from ZeptoLab has always been a great series of games to help keep your wits about you during rough days. Over the years we have seen a multitude of iterations of the quick thinking, rope cutting, candy munching Om Nom puzzler.  He has graced pour devices in HD, in a Experiments edition and did a little time travelling in last hurra. Finally Zeptolab has brought a real sequel to the game out to the public with Cut the Rope 2.

Following the foot steps of the originals, you need to feed Om Nom candy. CTR2 brings in some new characters, the nommies, to help you along your quest for stars and candy. There are a total of 5 characters to learn about and utilize to crack the puzzles.

MEET OM NOM’S NEW FRIENDS, THE NOMMIES!

• Roto can carry Om Nom to the best candy catching locations
• Lick can make small bridges with his tongue to help Om Nom reach his goal
• Blue can lift Om Nom to new levels of candy hunting fun
• Toss can throw objects, including candy
• Boo can scare Om Nom to jump to new heights

Om Nom can even move around a bit this time around.

The game is free, but does sport in-app purchases and with it, some heavy hearts. You have will have to endure an energy bar in order to play. When the bar is empty, you either need to pony up some cash for some coinage to refill the bar, or kick back for a while and let it regenerate on its own. From what we gather in the Play Store comments, people aren’t to happy about the energy bar or the constant push for power-ups and hints that all cost you a little real word cash.

Don’t let the comments turn you away though, it is free, so we recommend you give it a try for yourself. I personally hate the whole ‘pay to play’ style model, but with little amount of time I actually spend playing any one game in a day, the 5 minutes to get another energy piece won’t bother me much. Really, it will give me another reason to stop playing and get something else done anyways. Hit the Google Play Button below to go to the Play Store and pick it up.
