Kick the Buddy: Second Kick

The game itself is fun but the amount of forced ads is ridiculous. After every level and sometimes after exiting the weapons menu. But what really ticked me off is the fact you want to change $15 dollars to remove ads. The developers are being greedy and have lost their rabbit *** mind to demand that high of a price tag. I'm sure some people have paid it before but I refuse to.

I have played many games and not one of them has been this egregious with ads. Literally you can't do anything for more than a minute without ads popping up and being spammed with buy this or that. It's even worse since buying the NoAds thing which is absurdly expensive doesn't rid you of these either. You don't get the "unavoidable" ads anymore but every minute you're still prompted to click for ads which is insane.

A 12 second level, then 30 seconds of ads. If a developer can't even manage a 1:1 ratio of gameplay to ads, the game isn't playable. I'm certainly not going to bother paying for a game that lazy- there are dozens of good games out there that structure ads in a reasonable, non-greedy way, and still provide a good experience. This is not one of them.

Whenever I like a free game a lot, I look for any ways to spend $1 ~ $5. Be it removing ads, or unlocking more content. This is one of those cases where I REALLY like the game, but I cannot condone this egregious monetization of dev labor. I'd love to see what else the devs are working on, but I cannot pay for this manipulation tactic, especially for $5 ad-removal. Other, more complex games, have less than a quarter of the ads and usually offer $2 ad-removal.

The amount of ads is ridiculous. It feels like every 2 seconds you are forced to watch an ad. Most of the weapons that are supposed to make the game fun are either locked by a subscription, have to watch ads to unlock it, have to get gold ( which is very hard to get without paying for it), or coming soon. While the gameplay is fun, it is ruined by the ads and the fact that it is you practically have to pay to enjoy the game. I do not recommend this.

It's decent other than the fact it's the exact same game with a new walk-through. It's like revamping a ratchet and clank game. It' very new or original, I can't even call this a sequel. EDIT: IT STINKS. IT' BAD. DONT PLAY IT Never in my life have I been so infuriated because of a videogame. They removed the grand prix. I had a total of 100 spins saved up. I updated, assuming they'd ADD something. But no, instead,they got rid of the slot machine and grand prix elements. You have fallen off.

Love the game, love the new gui, love everything! But one problem, the ads. I can't stand them! They are not constantly popping up but just popping up with no warning, when ever you don't want the present after knocking out buddy, it still makes you watch an ad! I give 5 starts because you guys have come a long way, I prefer the legacy version if you want more nostalgia. But if you wanna better gui I prefer this. Keep up the good work!

Ad infested. Can't even click off of the ads, rendering the game unplayable. For the "watch an ad for rewards" system, make the button the actuall button shown, NOT the whole screen. It's quite annoying that you're just clicking the screen and get brought to an ad. Terrible UI and interface design. Ads are way too frequent as well, since you can't click off of the ads, the game is rendered unplayable.

In my opinion this is better than the first one by far. 1 the reality of this game is unreal. 2 the game has so much new weapons to destroy Buddy with. 3 overall one of the best games I've played. But there is some issues. For some odd reason I think they pull up an ad way much. For example when I go to click on a weapon a ad shows up. Then after I beat buddy with the weapon or switch it there will be another AD. But overall a very good game.

Way too many ads. You can't even start up the game without getting an ad. Then you open the menu and get another ad. After choosing a weapon, after every KO you get an ad. The game gives you 30 seconds of playtime between 30-60 seconds of ads. This game went from a fun anger management game to an unplayable cash grab. The old game was much better when the purchases are more hidden and optional, instead of being thrown in your face twice a minute. It's such a shame.

i think this version of kick the buddy is obnoxiously filled with ads to the absolute brim. you can tell what the developers wanted when making this game, and if you can't, then let me put it into simple terms for all of you: money. every other second, if not an ad, is a pop-up asking for you to spend outrageous amounts of money for something as simple as getting RID of the ads. 10 dollars for that? really?!

Quite literally, you watch more ads than you even get to play... You can't even turn the wi-fi off to avoid them either even though the game technically doesn't require wifi. Not to mention, 3/4 of the weapons were either locked behind a paywall, or weren't even available, and the (free) weapons either needed a ridiculous amount of coins, or just really bland.

Absurd amount of ads, batman! I can't go for more than a minute without an ad. What's more annoying, you have to watch 5 ads in a row to unlock certain weapons. There's an ad banner at the bottom of the screen the entire time. Every other kill, there's an ad. To open gifts, ad! Jesus tap dancing christ, we get it. Your team cares more about money than actually taking the time to make a decent game. Oh, and $5 to turn on blood? GFYS!

Too many ads. If I'm interested in going Premium, I will--I don't need an ad for it every three kills. I don't need an ad every time I change a weapon. At the end of each kill, an ad is offered to gain an extra award and even though the ad and "X" buttons are clearly marked, if you press ANYWHERE on the screen other than the "X," you get the long ad, and if you press the "X" you get a short ad. Not cool. I prefer to have more gameplay than ads. Thank you, no.

Its basically an app to watch ads, if you're into ads. Every now and then there is a break from the ads to play some interactive mini game where you beat up a dummy. If you like the mini game included in the ads app then you can pay $6.99 for it but it'll no longer be an ads app. Not sure if the $6.99 is worth trying out the mini game on a large scale but the ads app will keep you busy watching the most current ads for other apps in the Google Play Store.

It's fun and gameplay is exactly as expected. There are way too many ads, though... I get needing to make money with free games, but omg a level takes like 15-30 seconds then there is immediately a 30sec-1min ad after each level... Airplane mode worked for a bit, but I keep getting pop-ups that the internet isn't connected and $5/week for no ads is kinda ridiculous...

Genuinely the WORST experience I've had with a mobile game in my life. You can't go 10sec without watching a forced ad. On top of that, a bonus ad may (will) pop up and you can choose to watch it for a reward, but, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT ANYWAY! These are the most greedy, freeloading devs I've ever played a game from. Whoever took over the original game (with no ads), get a life man, you're a brainlet. This game is UNPLAYABLE. The only "content" is just padding for the ads themselves. Useless.
