Lucky Duck takes its fruit-slashing samurai seriously. “The support we have received from Halfbrick [the company behind Fruit Ninja] has been amazing,” says Lucky Duck founder Vincent Vergonjeanne, “and now we’re incredibly excited to be launching this Kickstarter campaign and get the last bit of support from our community to bring the unparalleled fun of the Fruit Ninja digital experience to a physical form shared at home with friends and family.” The
