Kick the Buddy is a light-hearted stress-reliever where players can unleash their frustration on a virtual doll, Buddy. The game features a wide variety of weapons and objects you can use to hit, crush, and blow up the doll in creative ways. The game’s main appeal is its simplicity and satisfaction of causing chaos in a safe, virtual environment. The animations and physics are satisfying, with lots of interactive objects that make each session feel fresh. While the premise is somewhat silly, it’s an amusing way to blow off steam, especially if you enjoy simulation games with no serious objectives. However, in-app purchases are abundant, and there’s a lot of focus on monetizing the experience.
