GlobalFun has announced to have licensed the famous cat and mouse, Tom & Jerry, from Turner Broadcasting.
Tom & Jerry first starred in mobile games from MacroSpace’s (now Glu) Cartoon Network series. Just like one of the first Tom & Jerry games, GlobalFun will also release a frantic maze type of game based on the characters. GlobalFun hopes to attract the casual gaming public with their mobile game.
The aim of the game is to guide Jerry (the mouse) through 12 challenging and fun levels located in the house, garden and basement, while at the same time avoiding traps and the ever present cat Tom. The levels contain power-ups, traps, hidden rooms and passages that in combination with a well balanced game design and outstanding graphics provide for a fun and entertaining game.
“We are all very excited about this recent development deal and the way our relation with Turner is progressing, the Tom & Jerry mobile game will be a fabulous game that a large number of people will have the opportunity to enjoy” commented Marcus Johansson, CEO GlobalFun.
Casey Harwood, Senior Vice President, Interactive, Wireless and Communication said “All the games commissioned with GlobalFun to date have been very popular with Cartoon Network viewers. Tom and Jerry has been a firm favourite with our audience so creating the game will increase our offerings for children,”
GlobalFun didn’t announce the name or the release date of the game yet. Also the length of the license is unknown at the moment.
