Lima Sky, the independent development studio behind mobile gaming hit, Doodle Jump, has partnered with Egmont Publishing for the worldwide manufacturing and distribution of an activity and sticker book based on the game.

The book, which is targeted at gamers and readers aged six and over, will be available for £6.99 from August. It will form part of Egmont's ‘Downloaded’ series of books, which are designed with curved edges and printed the same size as a tablet device.

Egmont’s Licensed Character Books publishing director Sarah Bates said: “Doodle Jump is a perfect brand for our Downloaded format and its cool graphic style and variety of fantastical worlds translate brilliantly to the printed page.”

The publisher has also signed a deal with Imangi Studios for global publishing rights to a fiction series and activity books based on Imangi's mobile game series Temple Run.

Publishing will begin in the UK, US and Australia in August with the first two titles in a new fiction series based on the game called Run for Your Life.

The UK and US will also publish an activity title next month and the UK will additionally publish two more titles in the Run For Your Life series in November, which will be released in the US and Australia in early 2015.

The 48pp Doodle Jump and Temple Run Downloaded activity books, which will be printed in Italy, will be perfect bound with dimensions of 240x185mm (portrait), a size applicable to the entire Downloaded range of titles.

The 160pp paperback Run For Your Life fiction series, which will be printed by UK printer CPI, will be perfect bound with dimensions of 198x129 mm.

Meanwhile, last month Egmomt signed an exclusive deal with Nurture Rights to develop a magazine based on the children's picture book Dinosaur Roar!

The deal will see the book, which was first published in 1994 and has sold over 5m copies worldwide, developed into a new magazine format which is aimed to encourage two to five year olds to explore and learn about dinosaurs.

Publisher at Egmont Magazines Louise Marcel said: “We are very excited to be working with Nurture on the Dinosaur Roar! magazine. There is a huge amount of fantastic activity planned for this much-loved property.”

The magazine will be developed in association with the Natural History Museum and Dr Paul Barrett, the Head of Paleontology at the museum, will approve all content.
