Toronto-based Breakthrough New Media is joining forces with game developer SilverBirch Studios on a mobile and online game to accompany its upcoming kids series Jimmy Two Shoes.

Both games will launch when Jimmy makes its debut on Teletoon and Jetix Europe early next year. The show follows a preteen boy’s adventures in the wacky world of Miseryville, where everything is designed to impose torment on its residents.

Swedish-based Global Fun will distribute the mobile game, while the online Flash game will appear on Jimmy‘s official website at teletoon.com.

‘We are very confident that SilverBirch will deliver top quality games on both platforms,’ commented Breakthrough creative director Dorothy Vreeker in a release.

‘To be able to work on a concept developed by [Breakthrough] is a great way to start our relationship,’ added SilverBirch SVP Wojtek Kawczynksi.

The project is being funded through Telefilm Canada and the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund.
