Since there have been no updates since Piranha Pool launched in the fall, I’m getting questions asking when users can expect some updates.

Just so you know, we have been busy working behind the scenes on updates. We’re targeting July for a major update to the app. And I do mean major. We’re working on improving the animations, water movement, the works. We’re changing a few things related to the design of the app as well.

But the most significant update will be the transformation of Piranha Pool into a  game that will function both on the iPhone as well as the iPad.

We’re pretty excited about the changes and we’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, here’s a screen shot as a teaser.

Piranha Pool by Ron Leishman

These ain’t your momma’s gold fish…

Deep in the Amazon jungle, dwells one of the most feared predators on the planet – the piranha. With razor sharp teeth they can reduce their victims to bones in mere moments. Now you too can experience what it feels like to get up close to these ferocious creatures.

parody |’par?d?|
noun ( pl. -dies)
an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect

As a cartoonist, my world is based on parody and stereotype. In fact one might say that any cartoon is a parody of an exciting object. Every object encountered, animate or otherwise, sparks a “What if it was like this…?” or “How about if I just…?”

And so it is with Piranha Pool. Based on another popular app (One of my favorites by the way) I let my comic senses get the better of me. Enjoy the parody. It may just make you smile…
