14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) is truly a modern browser, and the Redmond-based software giant is keen on letting us know this.
During its keynote at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the company has unveiled that a new game is available for IE9 users, namely 'Cut the Rope!'
In case there are some people who are not acquainted with the game yet, we should note that it is very simple to understand and play.
“[T]he basic premise is that you need to feed Om Nom (the super cute little green monster) and you do so by cutting a rope. The game is so simple that everyone can learn to play in seconds,” Microsoft’s Kristina Libby explains in a recent blog post.
The new game was developed using the HTML5 technology. Basically, this means that users will benefit from increased speeds when playing it, as well as from appealing graphics.
Of course, things are different when the developer side is involved, though aspects related to this are not visible when playing the game.
Those who would like to take a look behind the scenes should watch the video embedded below. They will also get the chance to meet the developers of this addictive game.
One other thing that Internet Explorer 9 users would certainly enjoy is the fact that, in addition to the 25 levels that the game usually comes with, they can access seven more of them when pinning the game to their Windows 7’s taskbar.
“So, you get 25 levels on IE9 for free. And when you pin ‘Cut the Rope’ to your Windows 7 taskbar IE9 takes on the look and feel of the game and unlocks seven levels not found in any previous versions of Cut the Rope, giving you tons of Om Nom candy eating fun,” Kristina Libby continues.
You will find the game on the special website put in place for it. Although it might work on other browsers too, Microsoft claims that users can have the best experience when playing it on Internet Explorer 9.
