User Reviews

Kick the Buddy is praised for fun, stress-relieving gameplay and nostalgia, with a humorous concept. However, reviews repeatedly cite heavy advertising and monetization as major drawbacks, alongside updates that feel less charming compared to older versions. Bugs blocking play and concerns about ad content for younger audiences are also mentioned.

Pros

Fun and entertaining gameplay that serves as stress relief.
Nostalgia and long-time appeal; many players have memories and have been playing for years.
Humorous, lighthearted concept of beating up a doll keeps the game engaging.
Positive reception of the core idea and overall playability despite updates.

Cons

Excessive ads; free version often becomes nearly unusable due to frequent, intrusive ads.
Monetization concerns; high costs to remove ads or subscriptions (e.g., pricing like 8.99/20$).
Updates/modernization feel; changes from older versions reduce the nostalgic charm and enjoyment.
Occasional bugs or issues that prevent playing (ads or other problems interrupt gameplay).
Ad content concerns (adult ads or potentially inappropriate ads for kids) and worries about targeting children.

Lots of ads

I understand perfectly why you have a bunch of ads but there’s just one ad I do not like because whenever I defeat The buddy you are the present and you can skip that present and whenever I click the skip button I get an ad so basically I’m watching an ad for nothing so I’d like you to delete that one but everything else it’s pretty good
