 |
|
Lima Sky, the independent development studio behind mobile gaming hit, Doodle Jump, has partnered with master publishing house, Egmont Publishing, for the worldwide manufacturing and distribution of a Doodle Jump activity and sticker book. The deal was brokered by Lima Sky’s UK licensing agent, Tinderbox. The format, designed with curved corners and printed the same size as an iPad is part of Egmont’s Downloaded series.
Featuring four pages of stickers as well as fold-out pages for additional activity space, the book follows Doodle Jump as he travels up the sheets of graph paper, jumping from one platform to the next, picking up jet packs, avoiding black holes, and blasting baddies along the way. It is targeted at gamers and readers 6+ and will be available from August 2014, at £6.99. |
Sarah Bates, Publishing Director for Egmont’s Licensed Character Books comments: ‘Doodle Jump is a perfect brand for our Downloaded format. We love Doodle Jump and were immediately drawn to its cool graphic style and the variety of fantastical worlds which translate brilliantly to the printed page.’
Eric Karp, Chief Licensing Officer at Lima Sky, says: ‘We are thrilled to be partnering with Egmont, one of the world’s leading children’s book publishers. Egmont skilfully merges physical and digital entertainment, making this a great fit for the growing Doodle Jump publishing programme. All credit to our brand extension agency, Tinderbox, for forging this exciting partnership.’ |
