Kick the Buddy

Had a rough day? Kick the Buddy is the answer that has been floating around phones for years: a stitched-up sack doll in a cardboard room who exists only to be poked, punched, shot and blown up. He never holds a grudge. Knock him out, he gets back up with a grin, and you go looking for a bigger weapon.

What Kick the Buddy Is All About

Kick the Buddy is a stress-relief clicker built around a physics ragdoll. Every hit fills the green KO meter at the top of the screen, and when it reaches the end Buddy goes down and coins spill onto the floor. Those coins, along with gems and skip tickets, are what you spend in Buddy's notepad - the red bookmark in the top-left corner - to open up new ways of making his day worse.

Inside Buddy's notepad

• Stuff - the arsenal. Pistols such as the Beretta and Coonan, an Uzi, a Thompson, and page after page of explosives, gadgets and oddities across more than 20 categories.
• Profile - Buddy's look, including outfits you can dress him in.
• Extra - bonus tools and settings.
• Decor - furniture and themes for the room itself.

Some items cost coins, while others carry a green FREE tag - tap it, hit Watch on the "Get it now!" card and the item is yours.

How to Play

• Click or tap Buddy to hit him with your bare hands.
• Drag him around the room and let him bounce off the walls.
• Open the notepad, pick a weapon from Stuff, then click in the room to use it.
• Pick up coins that fall after each knockout, and open the Gifts chest when it appears.

Getting More Coins Faster

• Early on, rapid clicking is the most efficient way to fill the KO bar.
• Unlock one automatic weapon as soon as you can - it fills the meter much faster than tapping.
• Grab the free-tagged items first; they cost nothing and widen your options immediately.
• Your coins and unlocks are saved in this browser, so you can come back and keep building the collection.
