Om Nom Stories began as an iOS and Android game called Cut the Rope, created by Zeptolab. It was developed for iOS devices in 2010 and later released for several other platforms, including Android, Symbian and Windows Phone. In the game, Om Nom is a green monster who lives in the Forest and loves candy. In the game, he is constantly trying to get his hands on more candy by eating it or playing with it. When he was released, he received positive reviews from critics and was praised for its unique gameplay, cute graphics and charming protagonist. However, the game's popularity led Zeptolab to create a series of spin-off games, such as Cut the Rope: Experiments and Cut the Rope 2. After these spin-offs were released, Zeptolab decided to create a cartoon based on Om Nom and the Cut the Rope games, called Om Nom Stories. The show was first released in 2011 and it quickly became a viral hit on YouTube.
