Kick the Buddy: Everyone is Simon

Kick the Buddy: Everyone is Simon is a chaotic, physics-based sandbox mod that strips away the original game's narrative of "revenge" and replaces it with a singular, absurd directive: The entire universe is now a single, mutable entity named "Simon." In this version, every character skin, weapon, environment, and even the background scenery transforms into variations of Simon—the iconic "Simon Says" puppet or a generic, wide-eyed doll. The core appeal lies in the uncanny valley repetition: you are not just punching a buddy; you are punching a legion of Simons, each reacting differently to violence, yet all sharing the same innocent, unblinking stare. The game shifts from a simple destruction simulator to a psychological horror-comedy, where the sheer volume of identical targets creates a surreal, almost hypnotic loop of violence. It’s a test of patience and creativity: how many ways can you break the same face before the screen fills with blood?

⚔️ How to Play: The Infinite Loop

The mechanics remain faithful to the classic Kick the Buddy formula—drag, drop, shoot, explode—but the target pool has been completely rewritten.

The Setup (The Simon Swarm):

Upon loading the map, the central figure is Simon. However, unlike the original, every NPC, enemy, and even the background props are also dressed as Simon.
Spawn Rate: As you destroy one Simon, two more instantly spawn in his place, creating an infinite loop of identical victims.
Environment: The room is filled with floating Simons hanging from chains, sitting on chairs, or buried in sand. They all react identically to damage but with slight animation variations.

Core Mechanics:

Simons have ragdoll physics. When shot, they flail wildly, often knocking over other Simons in a domino effect.
Stacking: You can pile dozens of Simons on top of each other and then detonate them for maximum visual impact.

Area of Effect (AoE): Use explosives to clear clusters of Simons. Since they are identical, AoE weapons are highly efficient for "farming" kills.
Precision Tools: Use lasers or knives to target specific body parts. Each part (head, arm, leg) triggers a unique sound effect, adding to the auditory chaos.

Note: Every time you hit a Simon, he lets out a distinct, high-pitched "Simon Says!" voice line before exploding or melting.

Drag & Drop: Pick up any weapon (chainsaw, rocket launcher, nuke) and drag it onto a Simon.
Weapon Synergy:
Physics Interactions:

Victory Conditions:

There is no traditional win. The goal is High Score based on total destruction points.
Secret Achievement: Destroying 1,000 Simons in under 60 seconds unlocks the "Infinite Loop" badge, which changes the background music to a distorted, slowed-down version of the original theme.

Multiplayer Mode (Simon vs. Simon):

In multiplayer, players take turns attacking the central Simon. If a player hits too hard, their turn ends, and the next player gets to "clean up" the mess. The last player standing wins the round.

🎵 Music Attributes: The Repetitive Anthem

The soundtrack in Everyone is Simon is designed to be hypnotic and slightly unsettling, mirroring the repetitive nature of the gameplay.

Genre Fusion: Upbeat Nursery Rhyme, Industrial Noise, Glitch Hop, and Dissonant Orchestral.
Dynamic Layering:

Idle State: A cheerful, slightly off-key piano melody plays, reminiscent of a child's song. It loops perfectly, creating a sense of normalcy.
Combat State: As you start destroying Simons, the music layers in heavy industrial percussion (metallic clangs, grinding gears). The tempo accelerates with every kill.
Chaos State: When the screen is filled with blood and Simons, the music distorts into a high-pitched, screeching loop that mimics the "Simon Says" voice lines.

SFX Integration:

Every weapon has a unique sound profile.
Explosions: Deep, resonant thuds followed by a chorus of Simons screaming "Simon Says!"
Melee: Sharp, wet slaps and bone-crunching sounds.
Background Ambience: A faint, looping whisper of "Simon says... kick him..." plays in the distance, growing louder as the score increases.

Spatial Audio: Sound sources move dynamically. If a Simon is killed on the left, the scream pans to the left speaker. The "Simon Says" voice lines surround the player, creating a 360-degree audio field.

👾 Character Profiles: The Simon Variants

While the core character is always "Simon," the game features various variants that change the visual and mechanical experience.

1. Classic Simon (The Standard)

Role: Primary Target / Damage Sponge.
Trait: Balanced health and speed. Reacts normally to all weapons.
Visual: Classic white shirt, blue pants, wide eyes, and a permanent smile. His head bobs slightly when idle.
Signature Move: "Simon Says!" – When hit, he freezes mid-air and shouts the phrase before exploding.
Weakness: Highly susceptible to area-of-effect damage.

2. Giant Simon (The Colossus)

Role: Boss / Heavy Tank.
Trait: Massive health pool and slow movement. Requires heavy weaponry to defeat.
Visual: Twice the size of Classic Simon, with exaggerated limbs and a giant, grinning face.
Signature Move: "Stomp" – Slams the ground, creating a shockwave that knocks nearby Simons flying.
Weakness: Slow attack speed. Vulnerable to rapid-fire weapons.

3. Shadow Simon (The Phantom)

Role: Stealth / Trap.
Trait: Invisible until attacked. Appears only when a weapon is near.
Visual: A dark, shadowy silhouette of Simon with glowing red eyes.
Signature Move: "Vanish" – Disappears and reappears behind the player, dealing surprise damage.
Weakness: Highly vulnerable to light-based weapons (flashlights, lasers).

4. Golden Simon (The Elite)

Role: High-Value Target / Bonus Points.
Trait: Rare spawn. Gives double points when destroyed.
Visual: Shimmering gold texture, with diamond-studded eyes.
Signature Move: "Gold Rush" – Drops a shower of coins upon death, which can be collected for extra points.
Weakness: Extremely fragile. One hit from a heavy weapon destroys him instantly.

⚠️ Tactical Survival Guide (For the Player)

Prioritize AoE: Since Simons respawn infinitely, use explosives and area attacks to clear the screen quickly. Precision weapons are inefficient for large groups.
Watch the Voice Lines: The "Simon Says" voice lines are a cue. If you hear them getting faster, the game is entering a high-speed mode. Prepare for rapid respawns.
Use the Environment: Push Simons into traps (spikes, pits, fire) to save ammo. The physics engine allows for creative setups.
Chain Reactions: Hit one Simon near others to trigger a chain reaction. This maximizes damage output and clears the screen faster.
Avoid Overkill: Don't waste heavy weapons on weak Simons. Save them for Giant or Shadow variants.

Kick the Buddy: Everyone is Simon is a surreal, endless loop of destruction. It challenges players to find new ways to break the same toy, turning a simple game into a psychological experiment. Can you keep the rhythm going? Or will the endless Simons drive you mad? Simon says... kick him again.
