One of my favorite parts of Blowfish Meets Meteor is that the game constantly lets you pop sea creatures. You get to pop blowfish with a meteor — a meteor! — and you get to use the powerups that fall out of their withered balloon-skin husks to pop other things with even greater temerity. You pop electric eels with sentient oyster school supplies. Your mermaid daughters pop octopi with sewing needles the size of their forearms. You’ll pop piranhas — a lot of them — with torpedoes and dynamite and laser beams. At one point, you pop a straight-up Pinocchio whale — from the inside.

And we made it satisfying. Really, really satisfying. Because popping sea creatures is the literal, singular future of video games, and we built Blowfish Meets Meteor from the ground-up to be the best place in existence to do it.

Mermaid children carry tiny pins. Sometimes, they’re for sewing. Other times, they’re for mercilessly popping sea creatures.

Given that Piranhas are the primary grunt enemy for most of Blowfish Meets Meteor, it was only a matter of time before they infiltrated Mermaid Mondays. You’ll spend a lot of the game destroying these gigantic, villainous fish by any means necessary, be it with sentient sticks of TNT, gigantic laser beams, explosive torpedoes, or any number of other weapons. Sometimes, you’ll even drop zombies on them.

Giant piranhas positively adore the taste of mermaid flesh. Adore.

Blowfish Meets Meteor is coming soon to the iPhone and iPad.

Today, we learn about a Mermaid’s best friend.

Mermaids keep sea lions as pets. They tried dogs once, but that didn’t last long.

Remember: Blowfish Meets Meteor is coming soon to iOS — that’s both the iPhone and the iPad! We’ll have many more announcements on the release of the game in the near future.
