89/100

Kick the Buddy: Second Kick is the definitive version of the world's most famous stress-relief game. If you've ever had a long day and just wanted to vent some frustration, this is the perfect digital outlet. The 'Buddy' is an indestructible doll that you can interact with in an almost endless number of ways. You can stretch his limbs, toss him around, or use an incredible arsenal of tools that range from simple hammers to over-the-top sci-fi gadgets.

What makes this 'Second Kick' version special is the remastered visual quality and the enhanced physics. Buddy's reactions are more expressive and hilariously realistic than ever. The progression system is actually quite rewarding; as you interact with Buddy, you earn coins to unlock even more creative (and often absurd) ways to play. It’s not meant to be a deep narrative experience—it’s a sandbox for stress relief, and in that regard, it’s absolutely king of the genre. It's colorful, funny, and surprisingly satisfying.

Worlds best game

Sun Aug 25 2024 Qwdtdhshg87609

I honestly love this game. It’s probably the best game I’ve ever ever played. It’s really fun and I think a lot of people would like it too. I’m just different kinds of things you can do and if you also want to be nice, you can feed buddy yeah it’s pretty fun. It looks like lot of other people also like it because I saw the other ratings of this game a lot of them are good and a lot of them are bad my opinion this is probably five stars and I’m giving it five stars. I said worlds best game in the title because it deserves five stars and a few people that I know also give it a five star rating, but they haven’t rated it yet, but I’m pretty sure they’re giving it a five star rating. to the people who don’t like this game, I have to read the reasons because this game is really really fun well for like me it is so yeah it’s like really fun and I keep saying that, but I would say that a lot of people should play it because there’s like fun . and I saw it one of the titles of the ratings one of the ratings it says very very high score and it’s five stars so I think a lot of people should give it five stars see some people who do not give it a five star rating because they do not like it and I actually see why they do not like it. I actually see it, but my opinion is just the best game I’ve ever played, kinda like better you know it’s pretty nice. I mean the features are nice.

Very very high score

The score was really good I liked kicking a buddy and slapping him in the face. It was really funny but most of all I got some cool Adams and I got very much money. Do you really said some funny self, but I kept slapping him in the face and then I really got some money by get him and died. It was good how he sponded and most of all this game was actually a 10 out of 10 you have to play this no matter what just had lots of a haiku to this touch. And play this game to wear what it’s really fun and funny should I say. Sometimes. When he says something. Sometimes it doesn’t make me laugh but still 10 out of 10 there’s some more cards waiting for you. You should play this. It’s waiting for you and that buddy wants to knock you off

A game that’s a bit ok like in the middle 🫤😐😑

I love the normal kick the Buddy game, but this? This kick the Buddy game is literally the same version like the old Kick the Buddy game. You literally can’t even kill Buddy or do anything, my point is I really don’t know why they call it “Kick the Buddy: The Second Kick” if you can’t even kill him or do anything extreme. The whole point of this game is to do extreme stuff with Buddy, and your supposed to get good rewards for killing Buddy in the game, but instead all you do is just grab stuff and just use it to play with Buddy, It’s just I think it would be nicer if it would be like the actually game where you can choose from many different options of what you can do with Buddy instead of literally picking out objects and stuff like the first Kick the Buddy game. This game is not bad, this get is just, in the middle. Which means it ok, not good but just fine and ok. I still don’t feel like playing this game if it’s gonna be the same game like the old kick the Buddy game. I hope this game updates and becomes like a real game where you can use many objects and more weapons and stuff to do you can do more stuff on Buddy. Just, this game is ok. Not perfect but ok. 👌🫤😐

7 dollars a week….

This game is awesome, and so much fun but everything else ruins it. After you spend 10 seconds playing or anytime you knock the buddy out you have to watch another ad. And not just an add, for more than 30 seconds, but then have to wait to be able to tap the x to close it, which brings you to a third ad screen that you have to press x again. Having to spend almost a minute, and click three times to get back to the game… which will only let you play for not even a minute before you have to watch another ad. In only 10 minutes I had to watch 10 ads. Then….. 7 dollars a week for the app? 28 dollars a month? This is pretty gross. I’d be happy to pay 5 even 10 dollars for this game and more for dlc, but 28 dollars a month is too crazy. In two months you can buy a ps5 game, in 4 months that’s 112 dollars. And that’s if the month only has 4 weeks. Everyone has ads but this app is beyond crazy. You want to spend time enjoying the game, and this one doesn’t allow you to. It get you frustrated with the hundreds of ads to keep you playing. Like I said, it looks amazing. I love the physics and everything else. The ads thought, and the price keep me from keeping this

Ok so im just get to the point, but long story short I used to play the first kick the buddy game when I was a kid and back then there wasn’t this many ads. Now its like you can’t even play the game because you launch the game they ask for a subscription which thankfully you don’t need one to play. It’s the fact of as soon as I click the “X” on the subscriptions there’s an ad, I open the weapons/ clothing page there’s an ad, you start playing normally there’s another ad, then on top of that to get rid of the ads you have to pay $15 dollars. I could go play any other mobile game of my iPhone and to get rid of ads is like $5 at most. I don’t care how high inflation is in the world that is utterly ridiculous. What’s the point of making a game that is so ungodly playable because of to many ads. I don’t mind having to watch them but it’s the fact that it’s non stop. Like I said I can’t even play because there is apparently not a single Cooldown timer for them. So developers if you do read this all I’m asking for is to lower the cost of the no ads and to add a cooldown timer for ads.

Great app, but…

This game is great! For a quick way to get good you can use buzzsaws till you get enough money to do more fun things. I’ve played every kick the buddy game out there: Kick the buddy, Kick the buddy forever, despicable bear I think is the name, and this game. All of the, have far too many ads, although there is an X on the screen, half the time it shows you an ad anyway. There’s also an incredibly high cost on everything. Even the in app purchases cost like $5+, my suggestions are: Cut down the prices on most of the stuff, take away a lot of the 30+ second ads, and make the presents not always an ad to get. But other than that, this is an amazing game!

Heeeh…. It’s pretty good but….

Ok your probably like oh I like that game but for me I like it but when you get it you’re probably excited because it’s 2 but at the end of the day the first one is going to cost your some money tho… but yea maybe the entire world should ban ads and if someone makes a game then puts ads… they will pay! And publisher skip the ads I believe in you seriously 😐not trying to be sarcastic well maybe I am but for real you’re better than this so… JUST DO IT!!! Ok bye I just have to say my sponsors so… I mean my patreons or that’s how you spell it… thank you Nike for helping me for… helping me yea and thank you………. Thank you for thank-you-ing-me yea thank you thank you yea this is getting weird so bye…

Just like the first, but much worse

I had saw this app thinking it was a sequel to the first game, hoping they would add some new weapons or items to use against the buddy for more fun and replay value. The truth is however that this is just the same exact thing as the first one, just with a new coat of paint, tons more ads, and most of the cool weapons not even accessible yet. It’s presented as a sequel, yet it feels more like a knockoff/bootleg version of the original. Items like the cannon, buddy bot, the entire games and miscellaneous sections, most of the plants, and more all just say that they are “coming soon”. But they were all in the first game. Why did they not just add/improve these items before releasing the game? The weapons haven’t changed, nor how they are used, so what change are they making to it?
