To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Zeptolab and Chillingo have released Cut the Rope 1.2 for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, delivering 25 dazzling new levels, new "split-candy" gameplay, and Valentine’s-themed artwork.

Developed by Chillingo Ltd. and published by Zeptolab, Cut the Rope is one of the most popular puzzle games available for Apple’s iOS-based devices.

The control scheme in Cut the Rope couldn’t be simpler. Players swipe their finger across the ropes and collect the stars by touching them with the candy.

Levels become increasingly difficult as the player progresses through the game. Some levels require a lot of thinking before slicing through even the first piece of rope.

“Happy Valentine’s from Zeptolab and Chillinggo! To celebrate this annual holiday of love and affection, we're bringing you an incredible new update for Cut the Rope!” the two companies said.

According to Zeptolab and Chillingo, Cut the Rope 1.2 is a completely free update and includes the following:

- A new Valentine's Box with 25 gorgeous holiday-inspired levels. - Addictive new "split-candy" gameplay that's both romantic and fun! - Wonderful new artwork featuring a Cupid-inspired Om Nom, Valentine's levels, and more, with full Retina support. - An awesome new Valentine's icon. (Perfect for gifting the game to a loved one!) - Lots of optimization and tiny bug fixes.

“We hope everyone loves this update as much as we had creating it. This is our gift to you for Valentine's Day, but also just for being the greatest fans out there,” said the two companies.

“Thanks to all of your support, we're already hard at work on the next update. We think you'll really love what we have in store for all of you,” Zeptolab and Chillingo conclude.
