Kick the Critter - Smash Him!
- an excellent combination for any game to strive for.” Supergamedroid
“I was surprised at how much time I spent with Kick the Critter – Smash Him! as it’s the kind of game that creeps up on you. I had burned through a battery by the time I reached the end of area two, and I had a blast getting there.” Slimgamer
The StoryMr. Critter (Mr. C. for friends, if he had any) is a goofy little creature who lives in a colorful & cartoony world. Once upon a time it started to rain and all the wacky little monsters had to flee from the upcoming flood. Most found safety on the ship of the Grumpy Old Guy, but some were left behind. And even though he asked politely, the Grumpy Old Guy refused to take Mr. Critter with him on his ship.
So here we are... Mr. Critter is left behind and has to find his own way to the ship and show the Grumpy Old Guy he messed with the wrong wacko! Fortunately he finds himself a catapult in the shape of a gigantic boot (called 'The Kicker'), and he's able to launch himself into the air. That's where you come in...
The ControlsIt's your goal to keep Mr. C. in the air as long as possible, without slowing down and crashing into the ground. Our petite critter buddy has no wings, so he has to rely on other critters to stay airborne. The most convenient way to stay in the air is to smash into other wacky little monsters (called 'Batties') that he encounters in the sky. When you tab the screen, Mr. C. starts spinning like crazy and smashes into everything in front of him. When you hit something (like diamonds and monsters), Mr. C. bounces off and his speed and altitude will increase. Smashing into other flying monsters will not be enough, sometimes you have to bounce off the ground. Of course, this will reduce your speed and height. Fortunately there are boost / power-ups on the ground that can launch you again (like a super robot or a cannon). Mr. Critter will also find other creatures running on the ground whom he can use for even higher bounces.
The KickerEvery game begins with launching Mr. Critter by kicking him with a giant boot (tough love?). Adjust the power and trajectory to launch our silly friend into the air. The Kicker can be improved by buying upgrades or unlocking new versions. You start out with a basic boot Kicker, but you can unlock a battering ram, cannon, ray gun etc. Use diamonds to purchase items in the store. These diamonds can be found throughout the levels and inside loot chests, which appear after a certain distance.
Upgrade the kicker for:
- Better accuracy when aiming
- Powerful kicks
- Extra kicks, for when you're about to crash
The CritterUpgrading the Kicker will not fix all the problems for our wacky little monster. Give him upgrades and perks by collecting stars. These stars can be earned by reaching a certain distance or by leveling up. Higher levels will also unlock some foolish new passive skills.
Upgrade Mr C. for:
- Increased bounciness and smashing skills
- More absurd boosts and power-ups
- Increased speed and altitude
The Mini GamesThis goofy cartoon will keep you hooked due to the humorous gameplay and silly Mini Games. Unlock the following absurd, yet entertaining mini games by leveling up your critter:
- Floor is Lava
- you're drunk Mr. C.
- Soviet Critter
- Duck and Cover!
- Flappy Batty
The Fun & GigglesKick the Critter – Smash Him is a goofy 'puzzle' meets 'arcade' kind of game with a colorful 2D art style and a fast-paced soundtrack. Smash your way through the air and confront the Grumpy Old Guy at the end. Prepare for launch. Power up. Aim. Kick. Bounce. And... pretend to fly!

could have been good but the view is so zoomed in it makes my eyes hurt. why on earth would you make the view so zoomed in?
I dont like it when you get soo far and then you have to start over
It's was great
I purchased the double coins perk, but it automatically deactivated after I opended for the second time. And Everytime I press on "restore purchases", it attempts to connect to the store and just freezes! Still same problem for the newer version.
It hasn't been updated in so long that I've completed the game and unlocked it all...do an update and I wiĺl gladly change this.
Paid for no ads..still have ads...need to fix it..I like to sue. That'll be a hell of a return if I win.
This game is nice, but on the first minigame the critters start going through my thumbs as if I was not touching the screen at all. I can play it perfectly until I reach about 6000 points then they act like I am not even touching the screen. I know it is supposed to be a challenge, but it goes from perfect play to not responsive. If this can get fixed I will give five stars.
Although this is literally bezerk ball (which is better) with some artwork and slight gameplay changes its still awesome :) art style and design is great and it does humour well too. just love the over the top-ness thrown in, tho i still prefer the old berzerk ball on ios where you could go higher, shame theres no android version as theres a shortage of quality throw/flight games
Usually in games like this you want a balance of height and speed, and hitting certain things makes you gain one or both of them. Well, not in this game. You absolutely DO NOT want to gain height lest you're sent hurtling to the ground and you lose way too much speed from doing that over and over again. You pray that you don't hit ANYTHING that will make you go higher in fear of going too high. It's a stupid game mechanic. Frustrating beyond belief.
Let me explain why this game is stupid. After the third stage and finally catching the boat. It glitches out at whatever speed you were and goes in infinitely with no way to lose trust me I tried I eventually got to 35 mil distance with pics to prove and could not lose after only skipping just above the water for maybe 5 mil of that. What a stupid ending I also had to force quit and my score didn't get recorded
Then I realized there's a problem with the design of the game that, if leveled up enough, my critter can just keep going forever. I reached the boat and there was no cinematic or ending or anything. Just my critter constantly flying in the air without losing speed. I couldn't even cash out. It was a waste.
It won't end I did one launch at 6pm I am writing this at 7:10pm. The game won't end. I am stuck at end of water level because it won't stop hitting stuff long enough for me to do the boat scene. If there is no high score leader board I'm going to be Extremely mad.
Game was fun for most of the time. The only bad part came at the end. Once you get enough power to reach the final boat, you go into an infinite lock that makes it to where you literally CAN NOT stop. I had to force close the game because it wouldn't stop. Also, no recorded score for that 50 mil run. Fix this, and I'd give it a 5.
In general the game itself was actually quite fun and I love the Corky humor in it. Unlike most Cannon launching games this game is very fast paced and if benched played, it can be beaten in a day. Overall for what it's worth this is actually a good game
I bought the forever times 2 thing and now the store won't open and it says I don't have it even tho I paid for it
Whenever i try to start the game it shows the "kick the critter" picture and then goes to a white screenand does nothing else. I wpuld really like to play the game if you could figure it out and fix this problem.
I paid the $1.99 for the doubled gems. It only lasted for one day! Now it says i have to purchase again! It has the option to restore purchases, but when I click to restore, it locks on the "connecting to store" page, and doesn't go anywhere! Give me a fix, or a refund, and the rating will be bumped up to 5* because it IS an awesome game. The purchase issue prevents me from a higher rating.
It's a standard "throw it as far as you can". Very fun if you're looking for something exactly like everything there is in the market. If you are looking for something different, you can be sure this will not satisfy you. It is missing a star because the game is HUGE. Seriously, I didn't understand why the game is so big. Maybe improve the code can make it smaller?
The advertisements kick me out of the game and they come at random so sometimes it will be tallying a score on a large run and I lose all the points. Fix and I'll give five stars
I decided to spend a few bucks to remove the ads but they still pop up. I just can't close them out as it covers the screen but acts as if it's not there. Please fix this. I am on a Sony Xperia Z3
Was fun and entertaining at first but once I leveled up enough it never ends. I've had the same throw going on an hour now and not losing speed or hitting the ground. Can't cash out and no ending to the game.
Purchased one set of items from the store and got charged multiple times. Very disappointed there is no way of getting my money back or talking with any type of support.
Um im play right now at i passed thr bout and it wont stop im at abouy 10,000,000 distence can you plz tell my why i cant get to the bout second time the game did this to me
I love this game. It closely resembles one of my closest childhood games but after paying for the special offer 2 times I still have ads. Please remove the ads!
I'm not even sure how I got addicted to this... but I did. Great animation, simple and solid mechanics, and awesome music!
Great game but I may have found a glitch or something. Or I've hit him at the exact angle and power because I have hit a score of 70 million and he is still going!! I'm now trying to get him to die but he keeps hitting a bat or a mine which picks him up again and speeds him back up. I wanna know if I quit to main menu will that save my current score to the leader boards or will it delete it all?
Wow I can't believe I got my hopes up for a unpromising game like this one. I wasted my time and energy only to lead to an app that doesnt even start up correctly. Terrible. I don't recommend this game for anybody.
It's a good game beat it in the past but now I have the galaxy s9 and the game warns me that its and older version of android and may not work properly so I ignored this and continued to play it only for it to keep crashing over and over the more times I go back into the game the faster it crashes please update kick the critter for newer versions of android as well!!!
