As previously hinted, Russian developer ZeptoLab of the Cut the Rope fame on Thursday launched a pet simulator game for the iPhone and iPad featuring Om Nom, a cutesy candy-loving monster who stars in the Cut the Rope physics-based puzzle series.

Developed in partnership with Dynamic Pixels, the family-focused game has you attending to your pet’s daily needs by playing with him, bathing him, feeding him sweeties and generally doing whatever it takes to keep him happy.

In addition, you can decorate Om Nom’s or Om Nelle’s home and even visit other players’ houses. Simple mini games and optional quests to complete round up this nicely designed kids game.
