Kick the Buddy－Fun Action Game

Stress relief with a ragdoll is the idea behind Kick the Buddy－Fun Action Game from Playgendary Limited. Buddy is a cartoon dummy, and the player's job is to take out frustrations on him in as many ridiculous ways as possible, with no real harm done.

The basic actions are kicking, punching, throwing and stretching Buddy around the screen, all driven by ragdoll physics. On top of that sits a large arsenal of items, ranging from heavy weapons to more imaginative gadgets, which open up different ways to play. Buddy can be customised with accessories to change his look. The description highlights that the game works offline, so no WiFi is needed, and presents it as suitable for short breaks when bored or after a long day. There is no score to chase or level to clear in the description; the entertainment comes from experimenting with items and watching how Buddy reacts.

The game has 500,000,000+ installs and a 4.1 average from more than 3.5 million ratings, with 68% five stars and 15% one star. It is free, ad supported and sells in-app items from $0.99 to $99.99. The most recent update is dated 2026-09-22, it requires Android 7.0 or newer and is rated Teen. We list 42 versions; the newest, 2.20.0, is 213.0 MB.

Anyone who wants a quick, mindless way to blow off steam will understand it right away. Players looking for goals, levels or a story, or who dislike ads, will likely tire of it before long, and the Teen rating reflects the cartoon violence.
