## What is Stress Baal?

Fact: You are stressed out.  

Scientific studies have probably shown that the best way to alleviate stress is to take it out on someone else. And while insulting loved ones and destroying friendships is technically free, we're offering an alternative. 

Stress Baal is a minor devil. You get to beat him up with your finger, and yes, he totally deserves it. Baal is hand animated like your favorite cartoon sponge or rabbit. Thousands upon thousands of drawings form the game. Not just a CG doll, the ever-scheming Baal has a personality. Granted, it's a loathsome one, but a personality nonetheless. Leave him idle and the little savage will probably save you the trouble and rough himself up... Often with fire. 

More reasons to play Baal:
- Like human endeavor, Stress Baal is pointless. No score, no achievements, no goals. Goals are what got you so stressed in the first place. 
- This pledge: We will never try to charge for additional content. No in app purchases ever. 
- We didn't do a Kickstarter.
- In an App Store first, this game description contains no pandering exclamation points.

### 5/5 — OMG it’s baaaa-aaak

*2026-06-18, version 1.7*

I am so happy this is working again. My granddaughter (now 16 yo) told me Stress Baal was back with updated code and I could not get on fast enough. When Stress Baal first came out I had got it on an App of The Day review. She would monopolize my phone and beat up on Stress Baal for hours. Both of us are over the moon our favorite cartoon demon is back to play again. A million thanks for all the incredible art work involved here and for bringing back an old friend for us. 
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Five Hearts for excellence.

### 5/5 — I love this app so much!

*2026-05-25, version 1.7*

If there's anything I adore in this app, I really love this demon's wacky antics! The animation is so well-made, it's giving me major Invader Zim vibes. Props to whoever animated this demon! I have major nostalgia playing this app as a child, and I was surprised to see it come back on the App Store (alongside with returning on Android)

Also, what makes this game more entertaining is that two of his animations happen to have Dragon Ball Z references, within one being the Fusion Dance, and the other being the Kamehameha (I love it when this demon tries to pull of a Kamehameha every time), as a die-hard fan of that anime, this app really screams my name for these types of references. I'm also excited to see the Fuzzball guy when it comes out very soon!

I highly recommend this app if you're stressed or suffering major problems, because this app is really fun and is guaranteed to put a smile to your face. In other words, it's super fun!

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-05-15, version 1.7*

I grew up with this game and found it again after years, I can’t describe how much I missed Baal and his silly expressions! Thank you so much for making this game!💗

### 5/5 — Found this game when I was a kid, love it still

*2026-05-11, version 1.7*

This was one of those nostalgic games I got way back when I was a lot smaller than now. It remained as a fundamental memory, something deep in my core that just drags me back every few years. I can’t explain why I love bulling this silly little devil. This is my all time favourite app for no explainable reason other than it just is.

### 5/5 — hay vãi

### 5/5 — Stress Baal

*2026-03-26, version 1.7*

Очень классная игра. Интересная. Скачивается быстро. Будет интересна для детей.

### 3/5 — DOES NOT WORK!!

*2026-03-11, version 1.7*

I was really mad so I said hmm “let’s see if this thing works” AND GUESS WHAT IT BY FAR DID NOT WORK! But I like the game over all he’s cute and funny I like to play with him. But I must say that’s a good game but it doesn’t help with the anger, as a person with anger issues it would have helped that’s why I got it

### 5/5 — Perfect Stress Baal is BACK!

*2026-02-23, version 1.7*

I so missed this little Imp of Bad Bouncy Ball Action, glad it’s back in all its glory!  Not usually a violent person, but I’ll make an exception for this horrible little cutie.  Need to read “About” periodically to remember why…

### 4/5 — Mejoras

*2026-02-20, version 1.7*

Me gusta mucho la app, pero no tiene audio ☹️☹️
