While Cut the Rope is still near and dear to our hearts, last fall’s release of Where’s My Water? seemingly stole the spotlight from ZeptoLab’s adorable Om Nom in the world of pocket puzzlers. Now Om Nom’s looking to steal it back with a little water fun of his own with “Bath Time,” Cut the Rope: Experiments’ latest free update.

Cut the Rope's been very good to developer ZeptoLab. While the studio won't reveal just how much money it's made off of the game and its adorable mascot Om Nom, CEO Misha Lyalin revealed that roughly a quarter of the game's 85 million downloads were paid for. According to Lyalin, who recently spoke to paidContent, this is only the start of things to come.

Developer ZeptoLab has launched a brand new version of mobile favorite Cut the Rope: a free-to-play HTML5 edition that's playable in your web browser.

Chillingo and ZeptoLab have been rolling out updates for Cut the Rope pretty regularly. Just in time for your winter vacation, the companies have announced a massive new addition that includes tons of new levels and creatures who are fundamentally going to change the overall play experience.

As I write this, it’s a Friday afternoon. But I can’t help but feel like it’s Saturday morning. Why? Because today seems to be all about cartoons! First Zynga debuted A Very FarmVille Christmas. Then I received a very friendly reminder that the Where’s My Water cartoon will be debuting online in early 2012, And NOW, ZeptoLab has just unleashed the first animated short featuring lovable little Om Nom from Cut the Rope.

Like catchy indie rock tunes? How about mobile gaming? Then you’re going to love “Why Don’t We Do Something?,” the latest music video from Hey Geronimo.

If you haven't gotten into the Holiday spirit yet, Chillingo's got a great way to start things off. The publisher has just released new update for their year old Cut the Rope spin-off Cut the Rope: Holiday Gift. The update contains a slew of new in-game content, including new animations, a new level, and a photo booth that lets you create digital greeting cards to share with your loved ones.

Cut the Rope: Experiments wasn't exactly a real sequel to the delightful Cut the Rope, but it was pretty excellent. Now the game is even better thanks to a brand new update that's got a slew of new content.

Cut the Rope: Experiments developed by ZeptoLab is available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. A mysterious box with our adorable ever-starving friend Om Nom has arrived at the Professor’s home. The Professor is determined to figure out why Om Nom can never get enough sweets and he needs your help. Gamezebo’s strategy guide will provide you with a quick start guide, and several helpful tips and tricks so you can play your best game.

While gamers have spent the better part of the last year cutting the rope, developer ZeptoLab has been cutting a rope of their own. Specifically, the rope connecting them to publisher Chillingo. Cut the Rope: Experiments is the second full release in the Cut the Rope series (or the third of you count the oft forgotten Cut the Rope: Holiday Gift), and the first to be self-published by its developer ZeptoLab. But is this really a full-fledged sequel? Or simply an excuse for the game’s developer to step out from under the Chillingo umbrella?
