Kick the Buddy for Negative User Reviews

✓ MiserableGot the game ‘cause I used to play it on the computer as a kid, it’s the same thing which is nice but it’s rendered unplayable by the sheer number of unskippable ads. The buddy dies in three seconds, you have to watch an ad to get another one, and while it does have a skip button it seems to play the ad half the time anyway. There’s banner ad constantly at the bottom of the screen which keeps you from navigating the menu as well which launches a video ad when you click it and there’s ads that fly up out of nowhere for no apparent reason. I could get premium to avoid that, sure, but while most games ask for a few bucks a month, this one wants 7 dollars PER WEEK which is honestly laughable. I get that people wanna get paid and using people’s nostalgia is an effective way to rip them off, but I doubt most people are gonna keep this game for more than 30 seconds the way it is now. I would have settled for a 50/50 split between game time and ad time but this is more like a 90/10 and there are too many other options for me to waste time on my sixth ad in three minutes of playing..NyxGotTwistedVersion: 1.3.19

✓ AdsThis game used to be good until they added ads, back in the day when they didn’t pop up 24/7. Remove the ads I deleted it because they’re just irritating and annoying. You cannot say that the ads are necessary for the app to benefit you, because there are hundreds of apps gaining money from loveable fans that genuinely like playing the game. And what about when the app didn’t have ads when it first started, surely when you start an app you expect money to come in. Having ads for more money makes sense but it’s horrible and continuous. There are ways of keeping ads in the game too without then popping up every two seconds. Just make the game playable..TT6904Version: 1.3.22

✓ Great game,WAY too many adsThere is an ad coming up every time you knock out the buddy. It says there is an option to play an ad to get a prize, yet if you click off it, an ad will play anyways. I remember playing this game when it was pretty brand new and there were like 4x less ads.DinskiboyVersion: 1.10.2

✓ Executed poorly (pun intended) due to adsI understand that free to play apps need adverts to make money. That’s fair. The pursuit of a slice of the pie by giving us interesting or fun content at the cost of splashing our eyes with ads means everyone’s a winner. This app in particular though pushes it WAY too far. I haven’t clicked for premium content, or opted to watch extra ads to get in-game credit, just playing the game for 10 minutes I’ve been hit about 10 times with 20/30 second ads. This is ridiculous. A shame because the idea for the game is fun. It’s well made and looks great. If only I could play it for more than 20 seconds without needing to spend as much time watching a video to continue to play..AgingyoungrebelVersion: 1.3.8

✓ Don’t recommendVery violent, lots of in app purchases.Concerned larentVersion: 1.3.21

✓ Fun little game made by the EA of mobile gamesAny game that makes you accept a 20+ paragraph privacy policy will make you lose a star, any game that (literally outlined in the privacy policy) tracks your in app purchases, email address, ad interactions, location, IP, age, gender and social media and then sells every shred of privacy to other third party companies will also lose a star. Any game that offers ludicrously expensive subscription services that cost more than Netflix and Disney+ just for a few new flashy toys, and makes it so that you are charged an entire day before the subscription ends will lose half a star. A game that blocks you from choosing new items when your internet is out (wonder why) loses a star.{j@(k}Version: 1.3.12

✓ BadEvery time you kill the buddy you just get an ad. Every 2 mins it’s showing do you want to rate the game. NO I DONT, PLUS THIS GAME IS NOT OKAY. YOURE LITERALLY JUST KILLING SOMEONE.Juicy GesturesVersion: 1.3.13

✓ Wasn’t even the same when re-introducedFirst off. I am a fan of this game, but, its an app of disappointment. Beforehand, Kick The Buddy used to have all its weapons with gold and money only. Now in 2021, they decided best to have a “membership” to access select premium weapons that come with the membership. I don’t see a reason for this idea to be brought up and its just unnecessary. Even if “some” of the weapons maybe great, the premium weapons in the membership are just non-premium at the same time. We’ve been using the same weapons for the game all the time in the past and its not really worth being in the membership in my opinion. Another thing that might make your poor head boggle is that nothing comes permanent and even the game will be a former glitch in the history of app games. I seriously need to get this out, YOUR ITEMS WILL NOT BE SYNCED. I been restoring my purchases and my progress, but the weapons your attain and save and delete the game later on for the sake of moving on. Those items you attainted all that precious tine don’t get saved at all. A waste of your time to come on back. Kick The Buddy used to be a memorable childhood app, but with the combination of these and a poor ad campaign just strikes to me as being way over the top. Sorry, but you have disappointed me with all these unnecessary things you put in for its return..Commodore_JamesVersion: 1.3.19

✓ They call this game “relaxing”I was ready to throw my phone across my room after only 2 minutes of playing I reached the 7th ad. The tutorial just keeps popping up and it just gets on my nerves I can’t stand this game and if I try to click out of a ad the game sends me to a screen that says “no ads if buy premium” You know what calms me down? My cats. I have fourteen of them and when I go outside and sit on our patio furniture they come to me and cuddle. It is so calming. So instead of getting a little game that you beat up a doll to relieve stress buy a cat that will love you and cuddle you, cats are pretty much a therapist that is soft and lives with you. Anyway I am getting off topic. 1-we should not be teaching children that beating up a defenceless creature is stress relief. This will lead to animal cruelty. 2-Buddy when left alone will say things such as: “you’re mom is fat” or “Ha!Gay!” also he will say “Loser”. All of these things can be offensive. 3-when injured buddy will show physical damage like: being torn apart, bruises, BLOOD, and bones. This disgusts me. 4-this one is just a thought but isn’t it kinda strange that the good reviews are very short and insincere? Is it the app developers!?!? 5- the two most violent kids in my class are obsessed with Kick The Buddy. Does that ring a couple alarm bells in your brain? You might be thinking as you’re reading this that I’m just a overprotective parent worried about my kids being exposed to violence but that’s not true at all. I’m 11 years old and even I think that this game needs to be taken down for all the reasons I listed above. So please if you’re trying to “relief yourself from stress” or your kids are trying to get this game, do not under any circumstances download this game! And please be careful out there. Nobody wants to live in a world full off serial killers, drug addicts, and burglars. I wouldn’t be so mad at this game if it was Kick the Bug because I live with a thousand box elder bugs that sleep in my hair and fly in my face every twice a minute. But killing them doesn’t relieve me of stress it’s just nice knowing I don’t have to deal with them flying around in the house..Cayden. not telling last nameVersion: 1.12.0

✓ TrashEvery time I knock him out there is an ad.RaginPumaVersion: 1.14.0

✓ Welcome to the AdpocalypseI use to love playing this game as a kid, it was simple, fun, and addictive. Fast forward 10 years or so and as an adult I come back looking for a little nostalgia. What am I greeted with? A greedy, subscription model, ad stuffed, utterly blatant cash grab. The worst part is easily the ads. K.O. Buddy? That’s 2 ads. Want a “free” weapon? That’s 5 ads. Wanna play the game? That’s another ad for you. It’s so unapologetically obstructive that you are forced to pay to even have a somewhat normal experience. So just remove ads right? Well sure most games have that option for $4-$5 and then you’re set. But no not Kick the Buddy. Not only did they remove that feature but replaced it with their subscription service. Now to play without ads you have to continuously pay them money. Then they have the gall to try and charge you $8 a freaking week or $100 a year!? Seriously!? Forget nickel and diming customers they are straight up trying to milk Benjamins! It’s so sad what this game and company has turned into. I know no one will read this review and if by some miracle a dev reads this… I hope you get hit by a bus and die miserably you greedy S.O.B.s I genuinely hate all of you….Fingerzilla manVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Ads EverywhereThis game is quite fun, I enjoyed flinging the little guy on the screen around and using a large arsenal of weapons and devices to hurt the little fella. However, to get to use some of the most interesting devices, you will either have to buy a subscription, or watch about a million ads to get the things you want. Most weapons require 5 ads to unlock it! But the ads don’t stop then either, oh no. They have ads at the bottom which cover up a bit of the screen, so when you’re trying to play, you click the ad and it takes you to the page. Then, you go back to them game and continue playing and it says you have a “present” then open. But to open it, guess what? That’s right, another ad, and you can actually skip getting the present. But say you open it, once it finishes and the box opens and gives you either cash or gold, it will then ask you if you want to watch ANOTHER AD so you can double the reward you got. At the end of the day, it doesn’t feel pike they’re doing to support the game but just to get a bunch of money out of people. The only reason I didn’t give this a 1 Star is that I like the concept, but it’s filled with so many ads that I can’t get myself to play it..Mad Max ReviewsVersion: 1.2

✓ Lack of features and flawsOk, I’ve had kick the buddy for maybe 3 or 4 months by now. I have the diamond pass too, honestly it’s pretty expensive. Before that, I was literally DROWNING IN ADS. Seriously this is too many ads!!! It’s very frustrating whenever he dies and takes like 30 seconds to load back in. It’s kind of stupid. “Free” items are 5,10, or even 20 ads!! This is bogus and I one day wish they would reduce the amount of ads you encounter throughout the “Gameplay” overall it’s a pretty fun game. I enjoy playing it with my friends. You’re basically watching ads more than you actually play the came. It also makes your stress level higher than lower. Why would you need to blast someone with a machine gun to “Remove stress” instead you can relax or listen or watch something soothing or relaxing. I can’t stand why you’d need to spend money on a “stress relieving “ game. I’d rather take a seat and relax and even make myself a cup of tea. Do you all agree with me? I also hate how quickly buddy dies. It’s too fast. On the ads it shows buddy can last like 10 minutes without dying. I understand other players also have a problem with that PARTY MASTERS gangster and the I guess you can call it a “hole” in buddy’s box that says PartyMasters. Overall it lacks lots of features. Thank you.Pooperscooperz1234567890Version: 1.3.7

✓ JunkThis game is the dumbest thing I have ever seen..DisgamsksVersion: 1.3.13

✓ Not for me😐Well I’m not super crazy about this game cuz it’s kinda sad honestly if ur the kinda person who likes violence an torture than get the game but if ur like me and can’t help but feel for the poor ugly character then this game will probably just give u anxiety and make u low key kinda depressed. I’m not necessarily saying it’s a terrible game it’s just made for a certain category of peeps so keep that in Mind if ur gonna get the game🌻🌻🌻🌻.Bubblegum pop🍬🍬Version: 1.3.22

✓ AddsThis game is absolutely littered with ads. Every single time you loads the game you are shown a 30 second video that you cannot skip. After that, every time you kill the buddy you are then also shown another 30 video that you cannot skip until you reach the video limit as there is a limit on how many videos you can watch per hour. This also limits the amount of “free” weapons/items you can purchase as you unlock these by watching videos; most of these items are unlocked by you watching 20 videos, 30 seconds each. I would not recommend this game as you simply cannot play it for more than a minute at a time without being forced to watch a video..MiniArrowsmiithVersion: 1.2

✓ This Game is MehI got this game for my young cousin. The day after I decided I would check it out, even more, as I had this game before for him but deleted it. I didn’t explore it a lot before, but now, my first impressions were, this is pretty fun! I played for a good few minutes, but then came the problems. First issue, ads. There is a ridiculous amount of ads! If you want to get a item, you have to watch 5, 10, or even 20 ads, and the majority of the items you have to watch ads for, or work a lot for the amount of coins required. And it’s not just for if you want an item, some points Buddy’s box tears and appears a ad, for say Party Masters, and on the right also appears a character from the game Party Masters. It’s ridiculous and annoying. Second issue, when Buddy dies, if you keep hitting him, while he’s dead you get no coins! It shouldn’t be like that, especially since a lot of the items cost tons of coins. Third issue, might just be for me but, sometimes when I click on an item, like Super Glue 909, I have enough coins but it just does... literally nothing! No pop up saying you don’t have enough coins, no pop up saying to watch an ad, nothing. It’s ridiculous, once again! I should be able to get the item, when I have the coins. I guess it’s a little bug, but it needs to be fixed. Overall this gets one star..LUV LUV LUV IT 😀Version: 1.3.4

✓ Wayyyy to many unstoppable adsThe game itself is ok but every time I kill buddy then I get an icon for a gift with no x button which means I have to watch a thirty second unstoppable ad every time I kill him which gets really annoying if I just want to play the game - it’s turned into a terrible game that’s all about money making if I’m being totally honest - the only ad I get is for kick the buddy forever - honestly not worth downloading if you don’t want ads every second that you can’t skip 🤷🏻‍♀️.Bluebird113Version: 1.3.9

✓ Horrendous pricesI remember when this game first come out and I downloaded it and you never had to pay for anything and now you need to pay fo everything ... it’s ridiculous even pay for the stupid blood splatter is £5. And the diamond membership is the most money grabbing thing ever just for the sake of a few extra ‘elements’ it’s extortion, I would understand if you paid for example £10 for the extra elements and not a penny more but having a subscription for it is really really stupid ... I paid for the ads to be taken away as well and there is still an add that pops up when you first open the game and then every now and again while your playing the game ... in my opinion the creator of this game has ruined it by being such a money grabber.Racing legend 111Version: 1.2

✓ You disgust me.Not enough people are reviewing about this. Buddy makes fun of gay people. He says “ Ha, gay!” Which is very offensive to LGBTQ+! He’s teaching children to be bullies! This game sucks. Just why did you make this? -Cloudy Games.IPADAPPLEIPADVersion: 1.3.13

✓ Nope!This is so much more frustrating i spend over 5$ or less on no ads kick the buddy man and you remove it OMG!!!!!! Since 2015 or 2014 or 2016 I loved it I finally found a game that is just perfect for me I was at someone’s house l played the game the game keeps crashing me out I went to apple store search for the game and it was gone forever!!!!!! So I never gave up I keep looking for it one day I found it it was this game I’m writing on then I downloaded the original game and spent over 5$ or less on no ads kick the buddy man and you remove it so so funny not!!!! Can you please give my money back please please.😶😶.Rero234Version: 1.3.1

✓ 😐So. Issues. First off, the game looks nothing like the pictures. There are no ‘modes’ as insinuated, and the pictures show nonexistent objects and weapons. I will say, not all of the promotional photos are false, but quite a few are. Second: ADS. You can’t make Buddy faint without an AD. Sometimes even doing nothing spurs an ad. There are an insane number of these things, and they take away from the fun of it. KTB claims to be a stress reducing game, but in fact it is the opposite. It’s one thing to have all these ads (that create stress); but to then see it advertised as a “stress release system” only multiplies it. A third issue: okay to “win.” So, you don’t necessarily “win”; however, to get most of the weapons, you need to spend a fairly significant amount of cash, or you just don’t get it at all. Either you pay, or you… well, pay for the weekly (or monthly, I can’t remember) subscription. In other words, it’s pay to win. I’m surprised EA isn’t in on this (or are they?). So, despite these factors, it’s actually a pretty okay game. If you can get past these, by all means, download this. But if you can’t, go find a different game to erase stress. PS. I don’t give this game any of my time, not even to delete it; this is the most devotion I’ve given it. That’s how bad the cons effect it..Demos the BossVersion: 1.14.0

✓ As a teenThis game is very inappropriate. It is not fun torturing, and kids will want to play the game, thinking it’s a normal game, but, they will learn bad things from it, please don’t download this game. It also makes kids want to play this game, because in some parts it says loser, which make people want to play it, because they get annoyed..I love spicy cheetosVersion: 1.3.14

✓ Way too many adsUsually, I wouldn't be complaining about this, but in this game there are just way too many ads. I play this game to let my anger out, only to find that I get more angry from the amount of ads. Plus, after each death, you have the option to earn a gift by watching an ad or just continuing on, but even if you choose to continue on with no gift, you still have to watch an entire ad with no option to skip it. Normally, I would turn wifi off to get rid of the ads, but since you need wifi to buy weapons, I can't really do that. I understand you can purchase something that will remove ads, but it's actually quite expensive for what it is. I appreciate the work put into this game, but unfortunately I think I won't be keeping it long..KayKay2336Version: 1.3.13

✓ Some changes should be madeI know this app is meant to de stress you. But I think that instead of killing buddy in gruesome ways, you should instead create it so that you can interact with him and instead of always trying to kill him, he can talk to you about his day and your day. I know this sounds stupid but I think this would make it cooler. Then when you do kill him, he comes back to life saying, let’s do that again. Because many people I know play this game and many get upset with killing buddy and hearing him cry and scream. This app needs to be changed to what I suggested. Maybe. It complete change the app, but instead put in a option to change it to why I suggested in the options box in the game. I believe this is something to consider.Carsgames2019Version: 1.3.3

✓ Review by meHi. It’s the person that wrote the review called, “total trash”. So, I just hate the game so much that I had to write another bad review. Number one: terrible for kids Number two: too many ads Number three: Buddy says offensive things like “Your Mom is fat” and “Ha! Gay!” Number four: kids should not be taught that hitting a defenceless creature is stress relief. There’s nothing else that I have to say other than total 🗑..🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶Version: 1.3.14

✓ Everyone this is bad because .....1. It’s teaching kids how to fight WHAT DO YOU WATCH YOUR KID AT SCHOOL 2.so many ads I rather kill myself then waiting that long and just every time you pick a gun boom there is a annoying ad that’s messing with your great day 3.this is 12+ why are kids downloading they have to have respect 4 I shot him and there was bruises and bones sticking out he was in a arm brace and a black eye . PS IMPORTANT DO NOT GET THIS GAME IT IS TRASH BYE.HaosauVersion: 1.3.21

✓ Racism And KillingThis app is not for kids. You could either kill it or let it say racist stuff to you. Very disappointed, do not recommend..ELIZA❤️❤️❤️❤️Version: 1.3.20

✓ Too much “limited” adsI thought this would be kind of entertaining at first, and it might actually be a really cool game, but only if you are willing to spend either a lot of money on a ridiculous subscription system, or sacrifice a lot of time watching videos of 30 seconds each. I understand that developers need to win some money, and this is usually OK with me, nevertheless this is way too much. If you don’t want to spend money (just as me) then you will have to watch a series of videos to unlock a few things to use; depending on the “quality” of the item, they ask you to see certain amount of ads (there were some items that required me to see 20 videos to unlock). Ok, I was willing to accept that, when I found out the app has a limit of videos you can see to unlock stuff, and when you reach it, you have to wait a couple hours to unlock more videos. I mean, you have to wait to be able to see advertisement. That’s ridiculous! I’ve already deleted it. You literally spend more time watching videos than actually playing the game. On the bright side, you can say this is entertaining and definitively funny, but this flaws I mentioned kind of ruined the experience. In other words it’s a pay-to-enjoy kind of game. I barely rate something, but I thought this was worth my opinion, hope it might be useful to someone..MartspainVersion: 1.3.1

✓ Too many adsI use to love this game, so I decided to re-download it would be a good idea! I had got in right then out of nowhere an ad pops up!!! I thought it was a one thing so I kept it and then another ad right after a ko I was so angry but kept playing. Then for blood 9$ it would be 10x better for 99c. This would be the best game if there were less ads and cheaper things to buy. Please can you shorten the ads..Fox_loxyWilliamVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Completely dumbThis game looks so nice and fun, but you have to pay for loads of stuff and they all do basically the same thing. It doesn’t relieve stress because of the ridiculous amount of ads. Some times it gives you the option of watching an ad for a reward and when you try to click off it you just have to watch the ad anyway. I do not recommend this unless you enjoy watching the same few ads over and over again and paying stupid amounts of money for little things. I only got this game a few minutes ago but I’m going to delete it after I finish writing this. This game is frustrating and NEEDS SERIOUS UPDATES before I would consider giving it another star..MargaritaM28Version: 1.3.7

✓ I’m sorry buddy❤️‍🩹I agree with Duduhidudhfhf if you’ve not read they’re comment do. I just feel very bad for buddy. he spent almost his whole life in that tiny box all alone and no friends and then him to find someone to have fun with and all they do is torture and hurt him it’s straight out horribleness. I remember very very long ago when I first played this game when you get the box with him in there was a note and it said something along the lines of this is my buddy please take care of him and then you just dismember him and it’s it’s just horrible. I’m sorry buddy u have to live like this P.S I’ve just read a comment that says in the ad’s buddy is saying rude and homophobic things if that is true that is not okay and whoever made these games if that is true even if it’s not true you need help get a therapist or something.Frauking@BannaVersion: 1.10.1

✓ P2WThe older version of the game let you buy almost any weapon with in game money but now half of them cost paid currency. They also put ads into the game and make you pay 7$ to ad blood... Some of the paid items can be obtained by watching ads, that’s good right? Wrong, for one of them you need to watch 100 ADS!!!.IsaacLongford12Version: 1.0

✓ Good game just not good for little onesOk I think it’s a little fun for me I am 13 so I know what’s going on here, but for a little child for example a 6 year given an iPad and they show you this game to get and you say yes well you made a terrible decision. I mean it’s an ok stress reliever game for a little older kids just not for a kid that’s like 6 or younger because we don’t want your kids to be consumed in a game where you blow up and shoot or punch little dolls. To me it’s wrong, but as old as I got I got to understand the game a little better. On another thought it is a ok game for stress relief for maybe 13 maybe 12 and up if you get a little angry, but we shouldn’t have a thought of killing someone like playing this game. Another note is that there is so many ads!! I mean come on when I played I used a blade or whatever and then went straight to an ad! I mean come on I don’t have time to watch ads the whole time!! Well I appreciate the people who take time to read this comment because if you were going to consider giving your child this app think again and look and these comments and mine!.That_one_breannaVersion: 1.3.4

✓ Awful gameI used to play this game a lot when I was younger, playing it now makes me quite sad because it’s FULL of micro transactions and making you watch ads every 2 seconds I downloaded it 10 minutes ago and was forced to watch an ad for 30 seconds 13 times and that I could ‘double my reward’ and watch another ad. This game does not relieve stress, it just annoys me because of all the ads. Furthermore, I suggest you don’t download this game as well because of the lack of thought for people who actually NEED stress relieved and if you do, I suggest doing something else or playing games like rider by ketchapp which has very little ads and micro transactions forcing you to watch every second..ShskeowoqkqnbdhxVersion: 1.3.14

✓ A Dead MemoryI can’t say how much I enjoyed the old game, but this has just become EAs version of the game and all it needs is loot boxes. In the old game you only saw ads about a tenth of the time you played but now every second of he game is filled with ads, and to access some of the weapons you have to watch around five million ads or pay with gold. I knew the old was kind of harsh on your wallet but this takes it to a whole new level. Half of the weapons require you to spend gold to get them and another 1/4 offer you to spend it instead of watching ads. The diamond subscription is the worst of it offering you to get it for a large $8 a week giving you supposedly all these things each day although I when I tried it out for the 3 day trial I never received anything, and getting the weapons locked behind the diamond membership sign never get unlocked during the free trial from what I experienced. I didn’t play the game after the free trial ended so I may be missing s few things but if this is how the game is going to react to new players I don’t think the game would get any better. If you remove the watching ads for weapons, the diamond memberships flaws and the harsh ads maybe this could be a solid game..PainEvan2Version: 1.3.3

✓ Please right backHello 👋 Just saying u might think this is just “another review “ But I downloaded this game coz I thought it would be fun but already after using just 2 weapons I got bored I really usually like ur games and I’m sorry if this is offensive but it’s just my honest feed back I will play it for another few minutes but I don’t really think this game is for me but thank you for reeding this I am not trying to be rude in any way I usually LOVE ❤️ ur games but keep making and I’ll keep playing also u have to pay for a lot of the things and not a lot of as have rich parents that let as buy whatever we want but yeah that’s my I review.Hooolllyyy!!!Version: 1.3.14

✓ Do NOT get this gameYou have to pay real money in order to get all the good items. Ads are misleading. You get an ad every time you want to change your weapon. When you kill the buddy, you will get a gift. The gifts are complete garbage. You have to watch an ad to open them. If you wait for like 5 minutes, a blue arrow will show up implying that you can skip the gift. IT STILL MAKES YOU WATCH AN AD. I tried keeping my wifi off while playing, however you still need wifi. I don’t wanna get some crappy response from the devs. They don’t read the reviews. It’s a bot response. Do NOT download. Also, you have to pay for more than half the weapons. And all the good ones too..Lazerbro11Version: 1.3.16

✓ Add a microphone plz! 🎙🎤I want you to add a microphone so the buddy could hear what I say because I usually talk to him while I play the game. But this is a good game! And how do I get items because I just downloaded this game. And when I played this game the buddy was like dbdbuduhbchuwbbdwdcbbduygbdgybuudybg of his talking and I heard that and I was like -lol ur talking soo fast lol-. My mom thought it was boring and she was like .-. And my dad was like -.- . And I was like >^.^< and :| (they are annoying) I used to have this game when I was 4 and now I am 15 and when I was 4 I was VERY crazy and VERY sad of dead things. And when I killed the buddy when I was for I was like “😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😩😩😩😢 MOMMA HE DEAD WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😭😢.” And when I say that I am like -bruh-. Well…. First of all there are kinda a lot of glitches in-game yea because I think there is a thing that tells you how much spins you have and I had like 10 spins left and it said “you don’t have enough spins left”. So can you plz fix the glitch? And thank you for listening to my review. Bye!!.Snowflake SnowCloudVersion: 1.3.22

✓ Do not downloadI downloaded the game when I was a child it it was vary fun so I downloaded it again because I actually know how to play the game now and the first thing I see is a member ship for 7.99/week so I decline it i immediately I notice a annoying pop up ad in the bottom of my screen. So I pull the red ribbon to look at the weapons and like 70% of the weapons were members only so I grab the basic gun and a ad shows up so like 30 seconds later the ad goes away so I finally kill the buddy and a red present shows up and you have to watch a ad to get the reward so I do it just to see what the reward is another 30 second ad and it gives me only 100 cash witch can bye you absolutely nothing and I can double it by watching ANOTHER AD! So I declined the offer and I kill the buddy again the present shows up again and I did not want to watch another ad so I hit the X and it gives me another ad. I get mad so I try to bye a weapon and it gives me another ad the game is like 70% ad 30% game play. The point is don’t download this game it is full of ads. P.S sorry if I miss spelled some words.E dude00Version: 1.3.13

✓ It’s cool but...I have been playing since I was at least three or four years old and I started playing on my tablet and then as soon as I got my phone I downloaded this KickTheBuddy it has been very good this year it’s a great game but nothings changed it says read the game and you will get updates but since like 2009 and I just feel like you added some more stuff this is my opinion and also can you make gold easier to go as a guest button because it was one of my daily login because I haven’t logged in in like five months and it sent me straight to an ad like come on like I know I had to give you guys money but like we don’t need as many adults like we just wanna play the game and also can you make gold a little easier to get because like we just Gotta do these things for free golden and we got a wait to do these things again go to so hard to get and then you have to have like 1000 gold or 985 go to see a one item on can you see a little easier on us to read the reviews they just wanna play the game but add & D popping up in your face! I’m sorry for getting mad but this is annoying so please do something about this thanks 🙏🏾.XXnisha daughterXxVersion: 1.3.19

✓ HelpThis review is to help those who are annoyed by ads. Just simply turn off your wifi and you’ll be fine..5570上官笑Version: 1.3.22

✓ Your a lier gameNow don’t get me wrong, I loved this game back then and love it still to this day a little. Only a little now though. It use to be real treat beating buddy, and it was relaxing. And the game tells you nowadays it’s relaxing, but that’s a COMPLETE BLOODY LIE!!! ALL THIS GAME DOES IS FLOOD YOU WITH ADS AND MY GOSH THEY RUINED THE GAME FOR ME!!! Same deal with bow masters but there it was ok. Only after the matches do they give you a ad. But this game, they RUINED IT! All I get is ads and ads. I cant go 2 seconds without a ad! I know vip makes it ad free, but some people, Like me, don’t wanna pay some stupid vip just to be ad free. Now I would be fine if a ad popped up every 3 deaths, that’s ok, but every little action you do results in a ad, and that kills the mood. It becomes so repetitive and I just played for like 10 minutes. Maybe it’s just me idk. I still like the game, but y’all ruined it. Screwed it over with ads. At this point, might as well call it ads with buddy (bad name) because that’s all this is. This game gives me a little more stress then before and that’s not a good thing for a game claiming to let you take your “rage out”. I take my rage out on my phone instead of this app, like MY GOSH! In short, stop bombarding your players in ads, or ruins the experience. Though to add some good, you can put pictures on buddy. Yeah this gives it a 2 star..Flame Panda kkVersion: 1.3.22

✓ Too many adds. Please removeWay too many ads This game has more ads than most game You spend more time watching adds than playing the game Other reviews say that is 99 cents to stop adds, but it’s actually 5 dollars That’s a scam It’s a great game and all, but not worth it Like most people I am not willing to pay 5 dollars no matter how fun the game is. I know you get money by allowing ads to be shown on the game, but honestly you would get a lot more money if you remove the ads? I deleted the game after 3 minutes. Why? Because 2 minutes out of the three was watching ads. if you removed ads, then me, and lots of other people would download the game. You would get a lot more money. You also have in-app purchases that earn you money. The more people playing, the more people by the in app purchases. Even if you don’t make more money, it’s still really annoying. All these adds. I got an add for kick the buddy as well, WHICH MAKES NO SENSE. Like other games, a few ads are ok. Like 1 ad after 5 minutes. Right now it is out of control. It needs to stop. Please do something devs. Other than that great game. Sad that I can’t play the great game. Too many ads. I will not stop saying it. REMOVE THE ADS..HabyGamerVersion: 1.11.0

✓ Almost unplayableI downloaded this from an ad that made it seem like a fun sandbox where you to have to try and defeat the buddy with a series of fun tools. And while there are about 1’000 different items to use you have access to only a few to start with. The rest you need to buy. Which wouldn’t be so bad but you spend more than half the time in game not playing the game and instead watching ads. There’s always a banner ad at the bottom of the screen. You try and access the inventory to look at the items and you have to watch an ad. There’s multiple “free items” that you need to watch multiple ads to unlock. And chances are you’ll only see one ad before being told no more are available, but that won’t stop them running ads everywhere else in the game. You want to avoid the ads you have to pay about $20 a month or $144 per year which is a complete ripoff. Genuinely disgusted to see how far mobile games have fallen since the mid 2010s..Faydjd dVersion: 1.3.19

✓ Too many adsI’ve never seen a game with this many ads. Everything you do pops up an ad. I’m usually too lazy to review games like this, but this one is too irritating. I don’t know how the rating is so high. I guess if ads are not here then it’s a decent game?.FroooggVersion: 1.3.21

✓ Awesome Return Corrupted by GreedFinally, I can play this game again. I had so many memories of this game. Was it with the wait. I don’t think so. Many weapons now require you to watch ads or pay excessive amounts of gold. That’s bogus. Also reports of weapons costing gold when they were originally normal bucks. Ads now pop up and are stuck at the bottom of your screen when originally there were no ads whatsoever. Watch 100 videos to unlock this weapon. This is just stupid. You ruined an amazing game since you were corrupted by greed. Shameless reboot to get more money. Still some playability, but not worth it since the good cheap weapons now requires you to watch ads. There was one that costed about only 200 bucks and you have to watch 100 ads. Yeah seems fair. Also, many features are missing such as the 5 item bar at the top of your screen where you can quickly swap to another weapon and many weapons are not present. Until this game is restored to its awesome original self, I will not play this. This is stupid. So sad this game has been totally changed. Many of the 5 star reviews are people too infatuated with nostalgia and rate it only a few minutes after playing it. Open your eyes people..TwentdoggoVersion: 1.0

✓ Good game. HATE THE ADDS!!!!Once you start playing it's all well and good but once you've had it for a day it stars giving you adds nonstop.Ryleigh pileyVersion: 1.3.19

✓ Used to be so funI came back to this because I wanted to revisit a childhood memory of loving this game and sharing it with my friends but these people just got so money hungry, it used to be one of those reliable games that didn’t put ads EVERYWHERE and that people respected, but now there’s a massive ad plastered at the bottom of the screen, everytime you kill buddy you have to watch an add and most of the stuff either costs an unholy amount of gold or you need some premium garbage, (alternative is watching 5-20 ads) it’s ridiculous..LemonsAreYumVersion: 1.3.23

✓ This is a kids game..You literally torture a doll. This isn’t okay, especially if it’s a kid game..SksjsjjsjdhdhfhfVersion: 1.3.16

✓ Too many ads!This used to be one of my favourite games, it was funny and and help stress relief, but now every 2 minutes there is an ad! I understand that they want to make money but because of the how many & frequent ads the game is no fun. Do not get it, the ads are shoved down your throat so you can’t enjoy the game. They even put a banner ad down the bottom so every time you have to swipe left or right it opens the ad; it also has unskippable ads. It has become a sad money making app not worth your time. DO NOT GET IT as the ads are infuriating..Yup_73Version: 1.3.21

✓ Now I remember why I deleted this garbageYou kill him ad you buy a weapon ad you want to go to the shop ad it’s all ad oh buy this to get this stupid stuff oh ad ad ad ad TAKE OF THE ADS.P.barnum 2Version: 1.3.13

✓ To much inappropriate adsI feel like I should delete it because there to much ads and some of it is inappropriate for young kids and the ads are literally 1 minute long and it happens every time I kill the buddy sometime it’s 5 minutes long ads to I will give it 5 stars if u stop the ads and take the ads away all tho the game it self isn’t that bad I love this game the only problem is there is inappropriate ads and to long and tooo much ads and it’s annoying please remove the ads and I will give u 5 stars in all 10 of my accounts.Jdnskb anwnwnwVersion: 1.3.14

✓ UnplayableWay to many ads makes the game unplayable without having to watch a 30 second ad every time you tap the screen.Apple_user_2_Version: 1.3.19

✓ Creepy and offensiveThey keep saying things like “I’m going to have ptsd” and stuff like that and he listens to you probably even watches you because he says things in game about the background in real life and it scares me..Whatever334572Version: 1.3.16

✓ Please cut down the ads!It’s fun and all, but cut down the ads! I know it’s to keep the game free or something, but, the amount of ads are just making me feel like giving you a 1 star. Heck, I see more ads than trying to kick the buddy. This may be offensive, but, ads are really annoying, please keep the ad level down..BffhythfdfdegryjuyigfvdedewqVersion: 1.3.22

✓ Very BadIt feels good to beat up buddy but there is a very huge problem that is so it bad, beating up buddy doesn’t even make up for it. The ads are so annoying because they come every 5 seconds or something and they are the same thing over and over again. There is so much ads, that there is even an annoying ad at the bottom. Everything literally requires ads to get, and it os super annoying. Another huge problem with this game is that is super p2w(pay to win) for no reason. It cost so much just to remove ads for a month and a week. The price is so high and is so unrealistic just for this scam game. I would rather not even play it then buy that. A lot of thing need VIP too it it is expensive so I don’t recommend it. I’m just making my honest opinion about this game. Overall, this game is just way too p2w, advertising, and overrated and I think these devs are just really greedy. If I had to rate this 1 out of 10, I’d say 1 because that’s just how bad this is. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME unless you really want to watch ads for 3/4’s of the time playing. Again though, I’m just making my honest opinion and this game is trash and instead of stress relief, it cause anger issues because of ads every 5 seconds. 💀.1296584339Version: 1.13.3

✓ AdsThere is so many adds it’s unplayable.KickbuddysuxksVersion: 1.14.0

✓ It’s okI love killing buddy, but I can only open the app if I turn off my internet. This limits all the interactions that I can do with him. Also, if I have it on and try to open the app, the loading screen freezes on me and then shuts down. Can you please have a look at that?.Girl Buddy KickerVersion: 1.3.21

✓ KickthebuddyI dont know why i was interested to download this game at the begginig,i played it all the day today and all i got was sadness,i got more stressed and felt really sorry about that little doll that keeps smiling and talking to you and all i did was kicking at him till the death...i felt sorry to hear him saying 'oh thats enough' it was a really sad thing ☹️ seriously i know its just a game but and what people are supposed to do is just to get reliefed,but no,trust me! If people try to create games like this,at least make sure the player is going to kill the bad guy not the one who keeps smiling at you all the time and begging you to stop killin him...that really breaks my heart and fullfills me with a lot of stress...thank u!.Gena1/Version: 1.3.4

✓ Not workingHi there I downloaded this for my son. It constantly gets stuck on the loading screen when started. I’ve reinstalled 6 times, no luck. Progress isn’t saved between devices and when we can get into the game, no ads will load to unlock items. Paid for a subscription as well. Also previously unlocked items keep locking and requiring ads again which as mentioned we can’t access..BeebuzzzVersion: 1.3.21

✓ Real sadI played this game years and years ago as a kid and had almost anything, even bought some gold to further the collection so I decided to come back for a bit of nostalgia. The game has become all about making money, you can hardly play for a minute straight without receiving ads and everything you can buy is stupidly expensive. $8 for blood? 12 something bucks a WEEK? For premium? This game used to be genuinely really fun and enjoyable and is now just annoying and disappointing. Really upset with the direction the developers took with this..DG1967Version: 1.3.19

✓ They ruined the gameThey added constant adds, messed up the resolution and they ruined my favourite game from my childhood..ThatCanadianKid_Version: 1.3.19

✓ So boring and says mean thingsAll you get to do is is hit it. There so many ads it is just not fun. It also say mean things to you that can be hurtful to some people. I do not recommend.COOL KID!!!!!!Version: 1.12.0

✓ I like the gameI love this game it is awesome and the game is a good way to learn the way you beat someone else in life ❤️.Ahsely90Version: 1.3.19

✓ MehIts obviously got weapons to attack him, but they are nothing like the ads. You also have to pay for the better weapons and even those are not like the advertisements. Other than false advertising, the game also has so many ads and they come up like every minuet and its really annoying if you leave the app for one second then the screen just goes black when you enter the app again and there are even more ads then before you left the application. Other than that, there isn’t really much wrong with the app but you do have to pay for all of the good things ( e.g. you have to pay for blood and new weapons) but there isn’t much more wrong with the app other than lag but that is a more personal problem so i wont complain about that since it is not the companies fault. My opinion is that they should have less ads and less in-app purchases to let the players have more gameplay..CreativeviiVersion: 1.3.28

✓ HorribleKick the buddy would be so fantastic if you could have all items unlocked in the game rather than having to watch hundreds of adverts before you can get a few new items. Please update the game so that all items are automatically unlocked, if you do that then I think that I will rate kick the buddy 5 stars. Also I have deleted the app because there are too many adverts trying to force me to download apps or buy something useless. Not only that but another thing that ruins the experience is that the game isn’t fun because it is too much effort to unlock items and games are supposed to be enjoyable and not absolute torture! That game would be so much better if you could automatically unlock everything in the game. Who ever thought that it would be a good idea to show hundreds of adverts and make it far too difficult to unlock items should probably be banned from making apps! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!.Luke HopgoodVersion: 1.3.3

✓ This was really disturbing.Every time I would go to continue, it would make me watch a bad advertisement. It wasn’t even a advertisement to watch.. It would just advertise something random. It wasn’t disappointing for the advertisements. I was just shocked why they would put this into the game, there is no complete point to it. So, one day I was happily playing “Kick The Buddy.” And, I managed to stumble across something out of the ordinary. I went to click continue to keep playing. I saw a little play button, I knew it was a really annoying advertisement. So, after I hit continue.. of course, a advertisement came up on my screen of device. I saw a advertisement but I realized you couldn’t get out of the advertisement and it didn’t tell you that the wait time for the advertisement to be gone would be over. So honestly, really bad game. Do not play unless you want to keep having this problem. But, another thing was you would have to leave the game just to get rid of the advertisement. So, I hoped this helped for unexperienced players. Thank you… 👍🏻.Blssom!Version: 1.3.19

✓ Real review from not a developer of the game.The game is terrible. Buy buy buy is all it is. Complete waste of time. Do not bite on this garbage! Unless you truly wanna throw your money away..GreganomixVersion: 1.0

✓ Good game buttttt…….This game is quite fun……if it was completely loaded with ads and making you try to spend 12 DOLLARS A WEEK ON THE STUPID SUBSCRIPTION🤬🤬!!!!!!!!! I have been thrown into the App Store countless times due to every time you beat a level and ad shows up. And I thought well I don’t want an ad every time I try to play for longer Than a minute so I tried turning off my wifi and data and go back in and it said “this game can’t be used without wifi or mobile data”🤬 I’m not sure what the price of the no ads thing is in the game because I deleted the game before making this review. I don’t suggest buying this game unless you have an ad blocker. Thank you for reading my suggestion👍.Sick lad Nick ladVersion: 1.11.0

✓ What happened?It was hard to even give this a two star. I grew up playing this game. I found out about it in 2012 when my friend introduced it to me, and I couldn’t stop playing it. It has many memories that stick with me to this day. Times changed and I got bored, until an add popped up for a weird bear game, that looked exactly like a game I remembered, so I looked around and eventually found this game again. I decided to compare them. The bear game was horrible, easily remembered the sounds from Kick the Buddy and saw it as a wannabe. So I went back to this to remember the old times. But what I found wasn’t fun at all. It’s no longer fun or challenging to get anything. It’s all ad based. I already got all the clothing items with cash in under an hour, and got 1/8 of the weapons in under an hour. I honestly don’t know what happened, but who the heck had this idea? Why would you think of trying to transition to a modern game? This literally reminded me of wannabe games, please fix these things. This game was one of the first if its kind and was unique, and now it’s slowly losing what it was as a unique title. Please fix this, I remember the good days when this game was unique and fun to play. Please, please fix this..Blue_SplatoonVersion: 1.0

✓ DO NOT GET THIS SCAM 😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬This is the worst game First I played this game just 3 years ago usually in games that can make a difference but this like many other games have become money making games if I want to have any new weapons I have to kill the buddy about 20 times for 250 dollars (in game) when back then it would take you about 5 minutes for 250 dollars Also when you kill the buddy you could press the no add button but guess what happens when you press it? It give you a 1 minute unskipable add whether you like it or not. If you don’t want to have adds it takes real money which is always advertised with the games 7 in game purchases which are all very expensive and they are all advertised in corners I wait screens even before you play. The first thing I saw was a 10 minute loading screen then an in game purchase with a small x button and a big button to buy it for $20 can’t think of how that could go wrong especially with small children which is most of the people who play this. Then I saw buddy who was there when I punched him it gave me an add then I went to the weapons tab when I got there there was an add when I selected a gun before I even shot it gave me an add when I got done with the third add it did another full screen in game purchase for no adds this cycle went on for over 1 hour I PLAYED THE GAME FOR 9 MINUTES OUT OF THE 1 HOUR IT WAS RUNNING IT HAS THAT MANY ADDS IF EVERYONE COULD REVIEW THIS GAME WOULD BE OVERALL RATED 1.1 STARS.Person 2467Version: 1.13.0

✓ AdvertisementsI used to always play this game many years back. It always make me laugh and I used to almost have everything in the shop. I’ve just came back because it reminds me of my childhood and I’d like to play it. Unfortunately, I hate how this game have become a money-making game. The amount of ads there are is insane. The game literally wants you to watch 5, 10 or even 20 ADS in order to unlock a certain item for free. Not only that but the fact that you have to pay $8 for blood, literally just blood, is just too much. 99c would be a good number for it as one reviewer have suggested. My suggestion is to simply lower the amount of ads there are and come up with another way to get a certain item for free, or simply just make it free without having to do anything. I get that you need to make money especially from a free game, but do you really need that many ads on there? Also minor suggestion, but I think when going into the wardrobe you should remove the “diamond membership” and all the ads on the side. Not because I wish not to see ads, but so we can see how buddy looks. “Why not just get out of the shop and see how he looks?!” You could do that, but it’d be much easier to view him especially since you won’t be going back and forth changing him up..Coolrach1Version: 1.3.3

✓ The name needs to changeWhy would you want to beat up and torture your “Buddy”?! Why not call it something else? My kids play this and whilst I’m not against the principle of the game, I am against the cute little dude called Buddy who’s encouraging violence.

✓ What’s with the ads.....I LITERALLY AM NOT LIKING THIS GAME!! IT USED TO BE AWESOME!! BUT NOW, ITS HORRIBLE!! This is how it all started, I downloaded this game in 2016, then my iPad broke, and I forgot about the game, today in 2021 I saw an ad of this game, I then remembered the memories of back then of me playing this game, then I downloaded the game again and right when I was about to start, there was an ad.... I thought “Hey, ya know, there are ads all the time, it’s fine” but it wasn’t fine.... I resumes on playing then when I picked my weapon, there was immediately an ad, then after the ad, I well kicked/killed Buddy and I had an option to watch an ad to get a reward, but I waited for the thing you press to just resume on the game but when I pressed it there was an ad, every time I pressed it, another ad another ad and another ad! Back then I loved the game, but now.. just no... if one of the people who created this game is reading this right now, PLEASE please please! Make it like the older days!! Where there wasn’t millions and millions and millions of ads..Love it guys🙂Version: 1.3.19

✓ Any actual game content?I was a proud user of this game. After a couple of years I’ve come back to see what’s happened and I’ve discovered that this game has become like many games now, it has become a money making game. I remember when gold In the game was an option for ‘some’ things and not literally ‘everything’. When blood in the game was free to have and when ads didn’t pop up ad after ad. I remember when you actually had content and not this money making ‘thing’. Developers you need to seriously fix this heap of garbage you’ve made. Here is a suggestion make ads an optional thing for game content e.g introduce parts for items and make it so you watch videos to get them, or have a delivery system meaning you have to wait a certain amount of time after buying an item before you can use it so watching an ad or two will speed that up. Overall I just cannot enjoy this product for its content because there is no content.Customer 699645Version: 1.3

✓ Way to many adds it’s ridiculousYou spend more time watching adds that just keep popping up tap 1 thing get an add tap another get another add don’t get to spend hardly anytime playing the game it’s stupid this game use to be good I get the adds but dial it down just a little can turn you mobile data off or wifi and that fixes the problem but not in the long run and watch a add 20 times to get a item??. Please change the frequency of the adds can’t even play 5 adds within 3 minutes it’s frustrating.Katherine2020Version: 1.3.22

✓ Dear ‘THE BEST STRESS RELIEF EVER’To start off my rant, I would like to talk about the overwhelming quantity of ads. Every time you kill buddy, it makes you watch an ad. And if you turn wi-fi off, it stops the ads, but when you’re in the main bit and you’ve selected a ‘thing’ (i.e firearm, or explosives) it doesn’t let you go back so you’re stuck with that thing. And with the wi-fi on you still get an ad about 30 seconds. Next, I will talk about the money. EVERYTHING in this app costs money. Nothing is free. And to get the in game credits, you have to watch loads of ads (which proves that the developer is immersed in a fantasy of money) or buy it with your hard earned cash. Now, in conclusion I would like to talk to all of YOU. The downloaders of this game. Don’t spend any money on this app. All the things you can buy are worthless, or overpriced, so there’s no point. And besides, you don’t want a money hungry developer swimming in a floccinaucinihilipilification of cash, laughing at your misfortune of downloading this game and spending your money on this near scam. So, please don’t download this. You will regret it..NewroboticTVVersion: 1.3

✓ “It’s free”‘This game is good’ is what I would be saying if a video ad didn’t pop up every other minute, the amount of ads is so insane but the only thing worse is the amount the game pushes you to pay real money. $8.00 (USD) and you could buy about eight sodas but instead, they want you to spend it on the visual effect of blood, nothing else, just blood. Yes, us non-developers understand that the game developers need to earn money but you earn money from free downloads and the occasional ad. Make the blood cost 99 cents and not $8.00 and focus your energy on making updates that don’t cost real money to access and you could earn SO much more money because instead of a few hundred people paying a lot of money a few thousand will be paying a little less..Rabbit ButlerVersion: 1.2

✓ What happened to the childhood game we all know and love?!I used to play Kick the Buddy Second Kick all the time when I was younger! Now I saw this in the App Store and decided to see if it was as good as the OG game. Now it’s all about videos and texting people! It’s really not fun when you really want something and you have to watch 100 videos for it. Also where did the background go? It’s been replaced by “More Stuff” section that I can’t seem to even get into. There are ads at the bottom of the page always and sometimes I accidentally click it and it totally ruins the game. I wish you didn’t take away the little bar at the top where you could store your favorite tools and use them without searching the inventory. I do still think it is a fun game so I gave it 2 stars. But please this needs fixing! Stop making me waste my time watching videos and texting ads to my own number over and over. This game really has potential if they made it more like the old one. And if the reason they are putting ads in is because they are low on money, then I think if they make it good then they might make back the difference. Wake up a little, people only want to play fun games..MaxGetsBucketsVersion: 1.0

✓ Too many adsOnly just downloaded it and getting an ad after every k.o and even when I skip the gift I still have to watch an ad gonna delete it would been a good home otherwise.GgggggggggggggggggggrayceVersion: 1.13.0

✓ We need to talk about this.Hey kick the buddy owners, I used to be obsessed with this game, I used to be pretty good at it (not to brag). So today I thought why don’t I play it after a long time, but I am sick of seeing so many adds that I’m just going to stick to Roblox. So maybe if you want to make a Change then that’s fine. I’m just saying that this is kick the buddy, not an add watching app. Now I know adds make you money, but don’t put too many adds in. It’s like a scale, one side is adds and another is players, players love playing but don’t like adds, so you have to balance the adds and the players. So if you can make a change then you’ll make all of your players happy. Olz..Bball olz🏀Version: 1.3.13

✓ This game used to be incredible.. until it got re-released.I used to Kick Buddy all the time in the old version of the game. I just re-installed to see if I could bring back some memories and on first launch they told me to buy a premium membership for $7.99/week which is INSANE. I don’t because I figured it won’t hinder my gameplay, but boy was that wrong. 75% of the items you can buy with in-game currency are Premium member EXCLUSIVE. If you don’t pay them weekly, you get the most basic weapons and items to use on Buddy. After a few minutes of playing I was already fed up with this game, and then the ad waves hit. I got ad after ad. It even glitched half my screen after closing one and crashed the game another time. I can’t believe they have the audacity to ask for an insane weekly payment like that, while they’re getting paid for showing an ad every 15 seconds. If you don’t buy Premium, the game is 75% unplayable or locked, and almost 90-95% unplayable with the ads and crashes. I used to want as many people as possible to play this game back before this new release, but now it is the steamiest pile of trash on the App Store. And to the developers, Thanks for ruining my old memories and many other people’s with this obvious attempt at a cash whale. Your greed is going to be your downfall if you don’t change the way you run your game. Good luck trying to scam anyone with this game..BloodOnWhiteVersion: 1.3.13

I understand that a free to play model relies on in-game purchases and advertisements to sustain revenue, but this is a serious problem when the length and frequency of advertisements vastly outweigh the length of gameplay. For example, for the five minutes I played this game, I was bombarded with 3 minutes of un-skipable advertisements. If this game had less interruptions, and consequently allowed players to be more emerged in the gameplay, I would be more likely to purchase the in-game content. However, holding players hostage by advertisements is a sure way to foster enmity..Mr5u54nVersion: 1.1

✓ DisgustingThis game is an absolutely horrible idea for so many reasons. I cannot believe that this game is even popular, and I cannot believe that I looked at 30 reviews of this game and only saw one person that thought the same as I do. There is so much terrible and tragic violence that goes on in the world today, and with games like this acting as if this stuff is okay, it’s no wonder it all happens! This game promotes gory violence, shooting, stabbing, suicide, and it doesn’t even have an age limit which is horrifying. This a game that should absolutely not be on the market, nor should games similar to it be on the market. I am astounded that 29/30 reviews that I saw were complaining about how many ads rather than the fact that this game is on the market at all. There are little kids who see the ads for this game and download because they don’t know any better, and then the parents will wonder why their kid or kids are showing violence or aggressiveness at school or camp or CHURCH! I’m sorry not sorry, but you should go to the doctor to check for a mental illness if you enjoy a game such as this. It is an absolutely awful influence on the world..VanHowdyVersion: 1.3.13

✓ PointlessCame here because of the cool looking trailer... deleted after 5 minutes. Look... if your going to introduce a “freemian” time-waster game, at least make it so that user can get a feel for the game without forcing purchases down our necks. There are a dozen or so items you can get for free, but only if you watch multiple videos, and your limited to how many you can watch per hour, turning this into a laborious task for little reward. Most free items require you to watch 20 videos, wow.... really? You’ll notice that the developers use of the word FREE is a different one to the general population. Here free means subscribe, and why anyone would choose to do so is beyond me. If the game gave you a taste of the things you could do, then I could see how temptation might grab hold, but as almost every item is stuck behind a paywall or subscription your left with no idea of how this could entertain. Oh.. and subscribing does not give you access to ALL the items, it just gives you premium money to purchase items. You’ll get frustrated at purchasing boxes popping up on almost anything you click on. Vote with your fingers.. don’t download! And if you did... delete!.LallenukVersion: 1.2

✓ This sucks and it’s trashI can’t get anything and everything costs too much and too much adds this game sucks and don’t download it it’s trash.RayndndhdhVersion: 1.3.22

✓ BooringI deleted this game because I wasn’t getting anywhere and then a year later an ad pops up saying that they had introduced new modes to the game. In an instant I redownloaded the game only to find out there was no “futuristic mode” or “Midevil” mode. None of the advertisements were true just like every other Playgendary game on the App Store. Bow masters was fun until you were at the point where you had to buy things to continue. Overall buddy is kinda pointless. I don’t hate it. I more just dislike the company Playgendary. Goodbye buddy. Once again..BuffalowingszVersion: 1.3.8

✓ We need more weapons if your newIt’s to many adds.FfdxjdjdkcuckVersion: 1.3.21

✓ Too many ads, crap gameYou may be aware of the ad problem, but as a Playgendary game, it’s money-hungry and god-awful. It basically forces you to buy more ‘bucks’ because there are giant gaps between weapons which can take a while to get. Theres an unskippable ad between every two deaths and an ad you can choose to watch every one death. Not only is that an issue, the quickest way to get certain guns which were previously purchasable by bucks (mind you, ive played this game a year or two ago) is to watch 5-20 ads in clumps. The gameplay is even worse. I played with the mace and at first got a hundred bucks in two deaths. After i got 900 bucks, it started giving me about 10 bucks per play. After five ads i could’ve just used to get another gun, i got the bomb. It gives you one buck per explosion, so unless you plan on using thousands of bombs to progress, you may want to find new weapons. Even with new weapons, you get barely any gold. The argument that the game is purposefully hard is invalid as well, because even if that was true, they’re not making it hard for any reason other to make you watch more ads. Sometimes a few hits from a weapon will give you a quick 40 bucks, but will kill the buddy, giving you the choice to watch an ad. Another kill and you have to watch an ad, and the cycle repeats. If you most literally have nothing to do for days at a time, this game is for you..ChrisAbC987Version: 1.3.14

✓ StupidIn the adds of this game it to kill buddy it won’t even let kill buddy it bring you to the store.KrazikawimanVersion: 1.3.13

✓ I don’t like itThis game is honestly kinda trash. I do not get this game. Half of the items you have to pay money for and it’s soo violent. Like this game is teaching underage kids who install this game to literally kill and harm people for money which is not good at all! Like I get it is a stress relief game but it’s teaching kids to literally just go and harm people to just get money! If they added some change in this game then I would change my review but it hasn’t..Fazeen NiaziVersion: 1.3.16

✓ To much addsWay to much adds I try to play but there’s so much adds.Plz get no addsVersion: 1.3.19

✓ The latest update has killed itThe game was a useful and enjoyable stress reliever. However, since the introduction of the diamond whatever, (subscription I think) I’m seriously questioning whether to continue using this app, as it has locked materials, both new, and more disgustingly certain old content , behind a monthly pay wall, designed purely to exploit those with the funds and the lack of patience to use the game as a challenge, accumulating various currencies through dedication and testing, this paywall coupled with the already questionable micro transactions for in game currency, which is worthless when the servers or game cease to be, (seriously, you’d be better served burning your cash, at least then you’d be warm) has made what was once an entertaining challenge and stress reliever, into an abomination fuel by greed. Thank you for getting this far in my rant, sorry to take up your time..TheReaper1Version: 1.2

✓ Don’t download. Too many ads.The ads are constant. Apparently, the only way to get rid of them is a subscription. There is no one time purchase that I could find anywhere, but there is a $7.99 WEEKLY subscription that will get rid of them. That’s at least $30 a month, most streaming services don’t even cost that that much, and those will give you infinitely more entertainment, ALSO without all the ads. This game certainly isn’t worth more than a dollar a day to play. And btw when I say the ads are constant, I do mean it. Every time “buddy” dies, you get an ad. It’s not skippable, and often several minutes long. Every couple seconds there’s a chance you’ll randomly get an ad. If you accidentally click the wrong thing on the screen, ad. There’s constant banner ads on the screen. Everything triggers an ad, there’s things you can’t do/get without watching an ad. This entire game is treated like a cash cow with the endless ads and that stupid, overly expensive subscription to get rid of them. I used to love this game when I was younger. I came back to it for some nostalgia, only to discover it’s been ruined by greed. Don’t download it, it’s not worth your time. You’ll either spend eight bucks a week to keep ads away, or you’ll have to spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game. It’s not worth it. Get something else to fill the time..Post-MortemGamerGirlVersion: 1.8.0

✓ Well, it started amazingly...But then came the 'free' money which caused adverts. Then came the 'gift' for knocking out the Buddy which yet again turned to adverts. Then you blocked off weapons for 'diamond subscription' and that's when I really noticed that the game has gone from fun to just handing money to you to get decent gameplay. Not to say that it isn't decent, but if you want access to those 20 weapons which you could have bought as a reward for efforts before, and if you want most of the gold weapons, you have to pay, pay and pay. Not to mention all the boring adverts you get thrown at you. I'm keeping it in case it gets better, but... Diamond subscription and the gift were not necessary and ruined the experience for me..Club penguin8794Version: 1.2

✓ Review I guessIt’s cool, I feel like they created it so you can let your anger out on it or him but either way I like the idea of it. But the problem with this game is that you can’t do much of that because they have made everything impossible to buy without using your own money and I mean real money which without that makes the game boring seeing I don’t want to use my money..MaikacccVersion: 1.3.19

✓ STOPI deleted this game and it keeps downloading! Stop downloading this app on my device! I don’t want it anymore! 😠.SGATAHDD WGSVersion: 1.3.19

✓ Waste of timeFirst game when we start up ask you to pay you as a premium member then there’s a small X for you to press which you have to find through the light color to exit out to see where the free part is then the game doesn’t even start you get to beat up this guy this is how I am buddy dinners no intro really except for how I am buddy then doesn’t see anything really watching your post to be doing so when you tapping on the screen and you beating the living crap out of the body hear you finally have to beat beat the character up until he dies then it gives you an achievement then you beat them up some more and you got another law achievement and then add every time you beat them up you get an ad no wonder why it’s prepaid but I read the guy of five times and still have not gone to where the ad showed me about the tortures your how to get them out or if this is just a torture game but haven’t gotten past been little crap out of the guy in a bit a room so planning on deleting this do not download this to waste of time and try even a waste of money even if the free version is crap the paid version must be the same way.KillvikingVersion: 1.3.13

✓ Too many ads 😑When playing this game you’ll get a gift if you kill buddy and when I play I use the missile to get 6 times more damage so it takes a bit but when I finally kill him I get a gift which means watching an ad each time it can get really really annoying!.Allison/shira the hybirdVersion: 1.3.8

✓ TO MANY ADS!!You get ads literally every 30 secs and on top of that, you change your weapon? Ad. Watch a video for cash? You get another offer asking if you want to watch another. Playgendary are only in it for the money, they put ads on top of ads, make subscriptions that do basically nothing, and their games make you only be able to gain progress if you watch an ad or spend money. All in all, waste of money and space, do not get this game, or any of the other games, unless you want relentless ads and wasted time!!.ShadowShifter19Version: 1.3.19

✓ Pathetic excuse for a “game”.I used to love playing Kick the Buddy as a young kid and I decided to make a return to it and see how it held up. I was extremely disappointed to see that they turned one of my favorite games on the AppStore into a disgraceful cash grab. Upon launching the game it immediately asks if you want to pay $7.99 a week for some extra weapons and content that should already be unlockable through gameplay. $7.99!!! A WEEK!!! The Developers have got to be out of their mind to release such a horrendous scam like this. And the amount of ads in the game is simply inexcusable. Every couple minutes or so an ad pops up and force stops the game. That’s not an exaggeration. Typically you’d watch an ad or two to unlock a weapon or get some money but now you need to watch MANY 30 second ads to unlock basic weapons. And my final point. The game had a feature to use “ketchup” (blood) which was always a free and optional thing. Now they’re asking for $4.99 just to have blood!!! I’m extremely disappointed in what this game has become and highly don’t recommend it to anyone unfortunate enough to come across it in the AppStore..AllTrashVersion: 1.3.14

✓ Too many adsThis is a good game. I enjoy it, and it’s a fun distraction from my chemistry homework. That said, there are far too many ads. The page always has an ad on it, which is very easy to click by accident as it is near the menu. Whenever you knock out buddy, you get a reward box-which you open by viewing an ad. You can’t opt out. You have to watch the ad to proceed. There’s a little guy who pops up in the corner who I suspect is an ad. You get an ad when you open the app. Also, the game froze on the box when you knock out buddy, wouldn’t give me my reward, and proceeded to only play ads while I tried to fix it. I never got the reward. Only sadness and more ads. If you hate ads, stay far away. I’ve typed the word “ad” so many times, it’s ceased to look like a word anymore. You get ads when the cardboard rips. You get ads randomly, just because. And to top it all off, there’s STILL in-app purchases (Other than removing the ads- which is $5- very overpriced IMO). You spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game. Take notes, developers. If you need money that bad, maybe just make the game 99 cents?.Why, devs, why?!?!Version: 1.3.1

✓ The game is trash1. Too many advertisements (ads) 2. Not good for kids because the game is teaching them how to hit a person 3. Buddy says "Ha gay" or "your mom is fat". It is offensive. 4. Items are way too expensive 5. You watch ads 5-20 just to get an item but wasting time! 6. Oh, and maybe the diamond membership you pay ten dollars a week. Why not decrease the price or have to buy the diamond membership items and clothing using BUCKS?.GamesforadultsVersion: 1.3.10

✓ Please Read This!So I’ve played this game since I was about 5 and I didn’t understand what it meant but now I am older I can see the violence I am not even an adult yet lol. Just saying this game is exposed to little kids too, and they don’t understand what all this punching up and killing buddy is. They only know how to play the game and this games gonna influence them to do it in real life ( Not saying it will but you don’t really wanna take the chance on that do you ). I like the game, but just my honest opinion I would like if you made the game a little less violent. It’s alright if you don’t but this is just me :)..NdjauhdhdnwjisjsnsVersion: 1.8.0

✓ Not sureI’ve read some of the reviews on this game and tbh I don’t know why anyone would say this is good for children? What part of using violence is good for children what part of using guns and knives is good for children? Also it comes up with subscriptions and purchasing items then ends up messing up for App Store when your not able to make the payment or don’t want to because of how much it’s asking for so it stops your App Store from working? I don’t see why it would be good for releasing stress and steam either? Maybe to someone who actually is stressed out this might be a good way for them to get it all out but as a “fun game” then no not really I’m not sure on the game at all and I tbh wouldn’t download it...it’s not the sort of thing you’d want your children downloading and using at at young age.Tayalouise17Version: 1.3

✓ Fine game but....I like this game and bowmasters etc... but I just feel like playgendary is an ok company while I also think that most of their games are kind of a money grab. This freaking game is drowning you with ads most of the ads are about playgendary’s games. The ads are Bowmasters,Bouncemasters,golfmasters,and finally Party Masters. This Company thinks that they can get away with forcing you to watch ads for a game you most likely will play one day seeing all the ads there are and then never playing it again. The diamond membership price is way to over priced for an app and most of the weapons in this game are pretty much just the same thing. I have the mace with spikes and watched 10 ads, yes 10 ads to get a clever that worked the same way the mace did. And if you don’t want ads but dint want the diamond membership either? Then buy no ads which is also over priced. 4.99 to remove ads. Now, back to the ads....again the ads are mostly about playgendarys games but the one add that keeps popping up is that god annoying bowmasters game. NO, I dont wanna install Bowmasters so stop asking. Maybe if this game and this company as a whole would stop ripping you off the games would actually be playable..BarbcrossVersion: 1.3.4

✓ Kick the buddyIt is 50% adds.PoohaneVersion: 1.3.13

✓ Many disadvantages of this gameThis is a “great” game despite its repetitive ad spamming, demands to buy a membership and many more. but this current crazy sale is broken. crazy sales are meant to give to early access to stuff, but after i bought the meat grinder, it wouldn’t load. same for all other weapons bought from the crazy sale. please fix this bug, remove all pop-up ads and just make the game better. (and also revert the prices for removing ads and adding blood to 3.99$ and 1.99$) it just got worse. now every single item i buy, even if not bought from crazy sales, will not download, rendering them unusable. please just update the game to fix this issue, alongside all other annoyances. also remove having to download new weapons. it’s just annoying when your offline. please for the love of jesus just fix this playgendary this is horrible. you thought another bad con would not exist? it does. now this april 3rd a new feature was added to the game in which there is now a chest that requires 3 kills to open and “get weapons”. the problem is that i displays that i need -330 kills to open the chest, but this is logically impossible. as always, please fix this. i would also like to mention that every fire and acid weapon only has there special abilities (which is setting buddy ablaze and slowly melting buddy) when said weapon is selected, so buddy cannot be put out with water as the fire or acid will disappear instantly when selecting a new weapon. just fix this bug please..RfjecjefjgjtvrVersion: 1.15.1

✓ This is the real thingPeople review other apps saying "this has the most ads in history I can barely play it, it's like a hundred ads everytime I play" But of course they exaggerate, but if someone says that about this game, they are really not joking, this game is ridiculous and has extremely unsatisfactory content. First off, some glitch has happened where you can't hear anything but the doll speaking or screaming, and ever since I've discovered that glitch, it wouldn't go away, second of all, the subscription, it's completely blasphemy and pathetic, who's gonna pay over 5 dollars just for some unlockable weapons, weekly? You are truly not right In the head if you think that would work, I can't imagine such scam and cash grab to fail. Now the worst for last, the ads, everyone has complained about them, and for obvious reasons, this game is literally infested with adds, you get un-skippable ads for almost every time you knock out buddy, you have to watch at best, 5 or more adds to be able to use most weapons in the game. Not only that, you have a little banner at the bottom, meaning you can't ever remove it unless you are lucky and don't get it when you open the app, it's extremely bothersome and block a lot of the screen, doesn't help when you have to play the game horizontally. What a let down of an app..I hate slitherioVersion: 1.2

✓ Kick the Screen til it BreaksLiterally hate everything about this. The only thing I like is the satisfaction, which is immediately ruined by ads. Every single time you kill buddy, some dumb ads pop up. Yes, ads. 30 seconds long altogether, some being longer. Now you might just be thinking, “Well, is there a no ads purchase?” Actually, yes! There is! For £4.49. I’m not paying what is basically £5 for a game I’ll never play for the exact reason of that purchase. Oh, and the premium is on a whole other level. £20 a month to get things that are probably worth about £5 single purchase. Pretty sure Playgendary will block this from getting through, but oh well. Just needed to get this out somehow..DataDenimVersion: 1.3.27

✓ I love ❤️ you buddySo I don’t like hurting the buddy coz I feel bad 😞 for him i mean he doesn’t deserve to get hurt he was like in that box 📦 for like a week in the cold thats why I give him guitars that can’t even hurt him stuff that can’t hurt him and I need to say I am so sorry you were in that box with nobody to be with nobody to play with nothing and we just hurt him you should be nice and lovely and sweet to buddy you don’t know what the pain that he gets in his heart he doesn’t deserve to get hurt 😔 that’s why we need to love him I love him but you don’t so why do we need to hate him and try to kill him Hes like 1 or 2 year old and again he was in that box for like a week in the night to nobody to say good night he had to sleep alone😭 in my room I sometimes cry in my bed coz I have to hurt him you should give buddy some ❤️ you won’t regret it so allways give buddy love please.DuduhidudhfhfVersion: 1.8.0
