Cut the Rope maker ZeptoLab releases $5 mobile game My Om Nom

ZeptoLab announced today that it has shipped a new game for kids dubbed My Om Nom. The family-friendly app is for the younger generation of fans for Om Nom, the cute green monster from the Cut the Rope series, which has been downloaded more than 600 million times.

Moscow-based ZeptoLab is one of the few companies that can charge a premium price for its apps in a sea of free-to-play options. My Om Nom, developed in partnership with Dynamic Pixels, is available without ads or in-app purchases for $5 on the Apple App Store. The new game is akin to a virtual pet game, where you care for and play with your very own Om Nom creature.
