Cut the Rope: Fastest selling iOS game, ever

From the makers of Angry Bird comes another highly addictive mobile game for iOS: Cut the Rope. The game which is currently topping the paid app charts on the App Store is available for 79c for the iPhone and €1.59 for the iPad version.

According to the games publisher Chillingo, Cut the Rope has surpassed 1 million paid downloads, making it the fastest-selling iOS game to date.

The premise of the game is very simple and undoubtedly contributes to its success. The user has to feed candy on the end of a rope to the green creature. You can cut the ropes by swiping your finger across them, and collect stars along the way for extra points, all the while avoiding enemies and obstacles.

Here’s an introductory video from Chillingo and some screenshots we took of the gameplay:
