I caught up with founder Charles Christory, who spoke earlier this month at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/tag\/appsfire\/\">Appsfire<\/a>&#8216;s annual Appstories event, in their headquarters in Lille-based accelerator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/tag\/Euratechnologies\/\">Euratechnologies<\/a>. Charles told me that, three years after the initial release of Paf Le Chien, the story is about to change. As we see below in their demo video, it&#8217;s not just a new character that Adictiz is introducing, but an entirely new game play. The gameplay seems largely inspired by the popular Fruit Ninja, though the challenge aspect adapts to the casual competition games that have grown popular in 2012, such as <a title=\"SongPop: Where Cloning Good Design can take you\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/2012\/07\/13\/songpop\/\">SongPop<\/a> or <a title=\"SongPop for photos, Hangpic released on iPhone\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/2012\/11\/22\/hangpic-launch\/\">Hangpic<\/a>.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oaXDMuDC_uw<br \/>\n<em>What do you think of Duck It?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh off a round of funding, Adictiz has released its latest game &#8220;Duck It&#8220;, following up the success of Space Dog (Paf Le Chien in France).
