Jam City is expanding its mobile game horizons by acquiring the assets of Brainz, a Bogota, Colombia-based mobile game developer and maker of the upcoming action strategy game, World War Doh.

Brainz’s creative team has joined Los Angeles-based Jam City and will continue to carry out the development of World War Doh. Jam City has been on an expansion beyond its core casual titles such as Cookie Jam. It is working on an Harry Potter game, and it recently hired Sims pioneer Rod Humble to run its TinyCo studio in San Francisco.
