What is Kick The Buddy?

Kick The Buddy is less a game with a goal than a physics toy with a sense of humour. You are given a ragdoll dummy and a steadily expanding arsenal — everyday objects, heavy weaponry, explosives, elemental effects — and the only objective is to experiment. Each item behaves differently against the ragdoll physics, and using them earns currency that unlocks the next tier of increasingly ridiculous options. It is a game to keep in a tab and dip into for a few minutes at a time.

How to Play Kick The Buddy

Pick an item from the arsenal at the edge of the screen, then click, drag, or tap to use it on the dummy. Different categories behave in genuinely different ways — some items apply a single heavy impact, others linger and keep dealing damage, and a few interact with each other in ways worth discovering. Each use earns currency, which unlocks further items, so simply working through the arsenal is enough to keep the progression moving.

Tips and Tricks for Kick The Buddy Pizza Edition

  • Work through one category at a time to see what each item actually does
  • Some items combine — try applying one effect immediately after another
  • Currency accumulates through ordinary play, so there is no need to grind
  • Heavy weapons are not always the most entertaining option
  • Save up for a tier jump rather than buying every cheap item
  • Treat it as a sandbox; there is no score to optimise

FAQs: Kick The Buddy Pizza Edition

Yes, Kick The Buddy is free on Pizza Edition and runs in your browser with no download or account needed.

No, and that is intentional. There is no score to beat or level to finish — it is an open-ended sandbox built around experimenting with the arsenal.

Using items earns currency, which is spent on unlocking new ones. Normal play generates enough to keep opening up new tiers of the arsenal.

Select an item from the arsenal, then click and drag with a mouse or tap and swipe on a touchscreen to use it.

Yes. The game was designed around touch input, so it plays very naturally on phones and tablets, and works equally well with a mouse.

The violence is entirely cartoonish and aimed at a ragdoll dummy rather than a character, but the theme is built around comic destruction, so parental judgement is worth applying for younger players.
