Cuddles make his first video game appearance in ''[[Happy Tree Friends: Homerun]]''. In this game, [[Lumpy]] takes him, [[Giggles]], and [[Petunia]] to a playground to have fun together on a new slide. Unfortunately for them, [[Flippy]] stumbles across them and happens to flip out through unknown means. Cuddles is one of friends that will be launched off the slide, only to be hit by Flippy, the player character. When he is hit by Flippy's baseball bat, his brain and one of his eyeballs will be forced out of his skull. If Flippy doesn't hit Cuddles in time, the latter will be lethally smacked into a wall.

=== ''Happy Tree Friends: Spin Fun'' ===
Cuddles makes a reappearance in ''[[Spin Fun]]'', where he is one of the given characters the player can select to be placed on the merry-go-round, which is spun by [[Lumpy]]. After Cuddles is launched off the merry-go-round, he will bounce off the ground a few times, taking damage from items scattered around the playfield if he hits them. Once Cuddles ceases movement, the game will end.

=== ''Happy Tree Friends: Flippy's Flying Frenzy'' ===
Cuddles reappears in ''[[Happy Tree Friends: Flippy's Flying Frenzy]]''. In the opening cutscene, he, [[Giggles]], and [[Toothy]] are blowing up balloons when [[Flippy]] arrives on the scene. Three of the balloons pop, causing Flippy to flip out. In the game itself, Cuddles is one of the victims [[Fliqpy|Flippy's evil side]] can drag against obstacles while riding a helicopter. Whenever damage is inflicted upon Cuddles, the player is rewarded with points. If Cuddles receives a substantial number of injuries in a short timeframe, the player will be rewarded with a maximum of five stars.

Once the game starts, Cuddles will jump onto a trampoline and become airborne, only to be injured by hazardous objects that appear mid-air. Whenever Cuddles is damaged by any of the hazards, he will drip blood that [[Lifty & Shifty]] must collect to obtain points. If Cuddles touches a [[health box]], his injuries will repair themselves. Once Cuddles lands onto the ground, he is no longer usable and will be replaced by another Friend.

=== ''Happy Tree Friends: Slap Happy'' ===
Cuddles returns in ''[[Happy Tree Friends: Slap Happy]]'', where he is the only character to appear in the game. The player can harm Cuddles in several ways, but primarily by slapping his cheek with their finger and shaking the screen. If Cuddles suffers too many injuries, he will collapse. However, the player can restruct him by performing CPR on his body or electrocuting him with lightning. Other available options used to harm Cuddles includes a chainsaw that falls on him and slices him in half, spiked walls that closes on Cuddles, and a giant pipe that impales Cuddles' throat. Cuddles is able to be brought back to life from these deaths as well.

Once the player fires the cannon, Cuddles is launched into the air and will bounce across the ground, with his airtime being gradually reduced until he is unable to bounce any longer. Bouncing off trampolines or balloons will send him higher, thus allowing him to stay on the air longer. If Cuddles lands on either the ducks or the shovel, he is killed and the game will end immediately.
