DoubleJump Acquires TinyMob Games to Expand Portfolio
Canadian game company DoubleJump Games has recently announced their acquisition of popular mobile game developer TinyMob Games. The goal of the acquisition is to bolster DoubleJump‘s mobile game portfolio through having both the popular games as well as the talent behind TinyMob Games. For those that may not know, TinyMob are the faces behind some of the most popular mobile games like Tiny Realms and MERC.
The team behind TinyMob consists of industry veterans from companies like EA, Disney, and even MicroProse. As part of this acquisition, TinyMob co-founders Alex Mendelev and Jamie Toghill are set to take executive positions at DoubleJump. As a bit of backstory, Tiny Realms is TinyMob‘s first game and was published all the way back in 2014. Since then over the game has been played over 10 million times and has inspired subsequent games. The success of Tiny Realms didn’t stop there — at one point they were awarded a Pocket Gamer Gold Award and even got a /10 Pocket Gamer Rating.
“Following this deal, we are excited to focus on plans for future growth, including the growth of both the company and its portfolio. We are looking to help other games studios with strategic distribution and look forward to introducing high-calibre games to millions of new players around the world,” says Masoud Nassaji.
Looking towards the future PocketFullOfApps is extremely happy for both teams at DoubleJump and TinyMob as we expect to see more great content and games from them.
