★★★★ Gene Padilla 5/5/2026 v3.79.0
Fun classic game but way too many ads and micro transactions.
★★★★ Luke 5/3/2026 v3.79.0
can't get past the 11th stage... it wants me to use a booster and doesn't do anything. no matter what I choose it doesn't work
★★★★ Gilberto Perez 5/2/2026 v3.79.0
Ads every 3 retries, forced tutorials for stupid mechanics, not worth the time to keep restarting to skip it all, garbage
★★★★ Caden Duckworth 5/2/2026 v3.79.0
Ive played dozens of ad supported apps, and it's very clear that they are willing to ruin your experience with ads while playing this all time great game rather than have the guts to charge you before you download it. which I happily would have done. however $10 for THIS is COMEDY. I'd rather just play games I own on steam remotely. very sad. very disappointed
★★★★ justin butchko 5/1/2026 v3.79.0
ads make it unplayable
★★★★ Muhammad Talha 4/30/2026 v3.79.0
No this game is just an ad watch
★★★★ Austin Friedrichsen 4/29/2026 v3.25.0
ads ads and more stupid ads. this was once a game with zero ads.
★★★★ Tsuki 4/28/2026
Way too many ads, like overwhelming amounts. Id rather not have more ad than game. Its insane.
★★★★ Ayush Tiwari 1270 4/27/2026
way too many ads
★★★★ Michael Edrian Nicolas 4/26/2026 v3.79.0

★★★★ Jake Meadows 4/26/2026 v3.79.0
subscribe for no ads 🤬
★★★★ Angel Brown 4/25/2026 v3.79.0
this game used to be really fun, but they've ruined it with ads. after every level (which only takes 15 seconds to do) there are 2 30 second ads. There is also a glitch that forces you to use om noms powers, which takes away the fun. So sad that they butchered this game. I loved playing it as a kid.
★★★★ Dario Schäffeler 4/24/2026 v3.79.0
Awesome game, sadly absolutely destroyed by ads and in-app purchases (while still trying to collect every single information about you with third party sharing - check for "legitimate interest" in the cookie popup)
★★★★ Net Net 4/24/2026 v3.79.0
Crippling ads. Every minute or so and almost undismissable. Uninstalled ASAP.
★★★★ Cameron Koivisto 4/24/2026
Ad every attempt, more time spent watching ads than playing
★★★★ Rhian Ashleigh 4/22/2026 v3.79.0
What in the holy late stage capitalism is this?! Concept is great, but if for some reason my eternal soul ends up in The Bad Place, trying to make it through the ads on this app would be my own personal hell (hope you're not listening, Satan). I get that free apps need to generate revenue SOMEwhere, but you will die of old age having spent your life watching ads before you complete this game. Farewell Omnom. u still cute AF. See you in hell.
★★★★ Selva Void 4/21/2026 v3.59.1
A nostalgic game ruined by ads and uninteresting bells and whistles. The race thing is neat, but it's never something you can just opt out of or not participate in. It's just as annoying if not more annoying than the advertisements themselves. I know you all got to make money and keep engagement somehow but at the same time, it's just so inconsiderate and mentally draining playing something that's supposed to be light-hearted and fun.
★★★★ Andrea Guardascione 4/19/2026 v3.79.0
i bought the game years ago, i decoded to play it again and its filled with ads. what hapened to the version i brought? it should not be legal to change business model for something already bought
★★★★ Kandron Mercer 4/16/2026 v3.79.0
I hate ads. if there no ads 5 Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
★★★★★ Jen Carlos 5/6/2026
Old version was better.
★★★★★ Jack Frost 5/6/2026 v3.79.0
it's ok
★★★★★ boni penfold 5/1/2026 v3.78.1
good game, creative. way too many adverts, uninstalled.
★★★★★ Francis Mbusi 4/23/2026 v3.79.0
meh
★★★★★ Death Dragon563 (Deathdragon563) 4/21/2026 v3.79.0
Cut the rope has been a staple in mobile games for a long, long time. I still love the game and if you're willing to spend the 10 bucks to remove ads then this game is perfect for you, but otherwise, the game has been completely over-monetized. I get through one short level and I get an ad for upwards of 15 seconds. I restart a level 3 times and I get an ad for the same duration. It's just followed the road of typical mobile games and I am NOT here for it. Great game, but way too many ads lately
★★★★★ Quinn L 4/16/2026 v3.79.0
great game keeps the classic feel the original I just wish you would not be so condescending when you don't get it the first try it shows the tutorial and power-ups in your face every time you mess up which gets annoying very fast I find myself having to turn the game off and come back later
★★★★★ Morgan Lovlyn 4/16/2026 v3.79.0
Fun and well designed game, but uninstalling purely due to ad frequency. Ads play every other level/ level restart. I have actually played the game for maybe 10 minutes and have been on the app for roughly 30 minutes. Fun, but not fun enough to want to pay for no ads or sit through the constant stream of ads.
