The anti-stress ragdoll game with every weapon, gadget, and currency unlocked from the first tap.
What is Kick the Buddy
Kick the Buddy is an anti-stress sandbox game from Playgendary Limited. One ragdoll, named Buddy, sits in the middle of your screen and takes whatever you throw at him. The idea is simple. You had a long day, your patience is gone, and here is a dummy that never tires out. Tap, swipe, drag, and let the physics do the rest.
The game packs hundreds of items: firearms, melee weapons, explosives, animals, household junk, and a pile of joke gadgets. Each one costs in-game currency, and the official build drips that currency out slowly through ad rewards, daily logins, and store purchases. The modded version on this page trades that grind for unlimited money and gold, so every item is unlocked the moment you launch.
Kick the Buddy has been on the Play Store since 2018 and has now passed 500 million installs worldwide. The original "Kick the Buddy" sits next to its sequel "Kick the Buddy: Forever" and the newer "Second Kick". The build covered here is the classic original release, and Playgendary still ships regular updates for it.
Mod features at a glance
- Unlimited money and gold.
Both in-game currencies start maxed and stay maxed. Every purchase deducts then refills, so the shop is effectively open from minute one.
- All weapons unlocked.
Pistols, shotguns, rocket launchers, miniguns, lightsabers, the chainsaw, the press, the guillotine, and the nuclear bomb are all available without a single rank-up.
- All gadgets and items available.
Animals, kitchen tools, explosives, sports gear, and the full novelty cabinet are usable without spending real money or watching ads.
- Premium customisation packs.
Costumes, accessories, and Buddy skins that are gated behind paid bundles in the Play Store version are accessible from the wardrobe screen.
- No forced ads on actions.
The interstitial that normally interrupts after weapon switches and reward chests is suppressed. Banner ads may still appear depending on build.
- Offline playable.
The game runs without an internet connection once installed, which is unchanged from the official version but worth noting for travel or low-data use.

Tips before your first session
This one is made for short bursts. Three to five minutes is plenty, and the physics engine pays off when you mess around rather than rush to finish. Start with the silly combos. Drop a heavy press onto a banana peel, freeze Buddy with the snow gun, then let the chainsaw close things out. With the mod, there is no reason to ration the toys.
