Tap him. Fill the rage bar. Buy a bigger glove.

Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.

An ordinary bloke hangs in a cozy room, and the screen says only: TAP HIM. StressBoy is one of those games like Kick the Buddy, played in the Roam app on iPhone. You tap, drag and hit the ragdoll with your hand or a boxing glove, earn coins and fill the RAGE bar. Coins buy new gadgets in the shop, and the Rooms menu has more places to take him.

How it works

Tap the ragdoll to hit him, or drag to throw him around.
Pick a gadget from the bar at the bottom: hand, boxing glove and more.
Earn coins with each hit and watch the RAGE meter fill.
Spend coins in the SHOP on new gadgets, and open ROOMS for new places.

Why it is satisfying

Ragdoll physics that react to every hit
Gadgets with price tags that you unlock with coins
A BEST multiplier and a level counter
Several rooms, starting with the Cozy Room

If you like Kick the Buddy

Kick the Buddy proved that a ragdoll and a pile of gadgets is enough for a hit. StressBoy follows the same recipe: a hanging guy, a growing toolkit and coins for every smack.

The difference is in the small goals. The RAGE meter and level counter give you something to fill, and new rooms give the smacking a change of scenery. The BEST multiplier also rewards you for keeping a streak going.

Games like Kick the Buddy: getting coins faster

Start with the free hand and the boxing glove, and save coins for the next locked gadget in the bar.

Mix taps and drags to see how the ragdoll reacts. A throw feels very different from a punch. The guy is named Ordinary Bloke on screen, which says a lot about the tone.

Two minutes to blow off steam

Anyone who needs to blow off steam for two minutes. There is no way to lose, nothing to read and no timer, just a guy in a room and your thumb.

It also suits players who like slow, steady unlocks. Each new gadget and room is a small reward that keeps you tapping.
