Chillingo has announced a brand new ‘Cosmic Box’ containing 25 extra challenging levels for Cut the Rope HD, the iPad version of its immensely popular puzzle game which has players cutting ropes to feed candy to the Om Nom.

“A mysterious package has arrived, and the creature inside has only one request…CANDY!”, Chillingo says.

“Help get the candy to Om Nom, the adorable monster, in this highly innovative and addictive puzzle game. Combining outstanding physics, devilishly tricky levels, and bright colorful High Definition visuals, Cut the Rope is one of the most original and fun-filled games on the App Store,” the company’s announcement goes.

Cut the Rope, also available for iPhone, is a very popular puzzle game that combines realistic physics, with simple, yet accurate and precise touch controls.

“…but it’s not always simple. Think before you slice and be sure to avoid the enemies and obstacles. Every level is different and getting that candy to Om Nom won’t be easy!”, Chillingo claims.

Players cut the ropes by simply swiping their finger across them, and collect stars by touching them with the candy. Gamers have a variety of special tools at their disposal to get Om Nom his candy.

Candy can be blown around in bubbles using special air pumps, or catapulted across the screen to get to stars that are hard to reach. Hidden ropes and special pulleys make the game even more addictive.

New in Version 1.1 is the aforementioned brand new ‘Cosmic Box’ containing 25 extra challenging levels, a new ‘anti-gravity’ feature, cuter Om Nom expressions, an optimized scoring system optimized, 11 new achievements, 1 new leaderboard, and a bug fix for iPad players.

Additionally, the game has been “prepared for iOS 4.2 with Game Center enabled” Chillingo says.
