Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) has tapped wireless entertainment provider GlobalFun as the pan-European distributor for mobile games based on the Adult Swim series The Brak Show and the Cartoon Network series Johnny Bravo.
The deal follows a previous announcement that GlobalFun is currently developing and partly distributing the mobile version of The Brak Show.
GlobalFun will distribute the mobile game “Johnny Bee Good,” which is built around the eponymous main character from the half-hour series Johnny Bravo, who is a biceps-bulging, karate-chopping free spirit who believes he is a gift from God to women. The game is designed to appeal to both male and female mobile players. The company will also distribute a game based on The Brak Show, an animated sitcom focused on a space pirate named Brak who lives in outer space, in an American suburbia mid-1960s neighborhood. The game, which is scripted to follow a “mega” episode of the show, can be played either as Brak or his best friend Zorak, each with his own small storyline converging into a bigger one. The objective of the game is the same for both characters, which is to convince Brak’s father to stop an invasion of Alien Ants from Outer Space.
Casey Harwood, the senior VP of interactive, wireless and communication at TBS Europe, commented: “GlobalFun have proven themselves to be both a solid mobile games developer and distributor, and the extension of this deal is a reflection of that. We look forward to working with them on the distribution of these games for The Brak Show and Johnny Bravo.”
