About the Game

Bills Must Be Paid is an active incremental game about paying your bills by smashing piggy banks.

Smash Piggy Banks

Smashing costs stamina. When your hand is getting tired the run is over.

Pay your bills

Bills show up. If you ignore them, bankruptcy will be your destiny. Pay them off to unlock perks that help you pay back your bills even faster.

Paying bills also gives you legacy points which you can spend on rings and bracelets to upgrade your hand after declaring bankruptcy.

 

Different piggy types

New types to discover. Some run away, some are too lazy to move, and others carry all the black money you never had :P...

Random loot

Piggies spawn random loot

You never know which one is holding the most, or do you?

Upgrades

A skill tree with multiple paths. Improve your grip strength, get addicted to caffeine, hit the gym, pump up your wrist, get more lucky, unlock abilities like rock rain, electrify your hammer, and more.

Different Hammers

Unlock different types of hammer. Some have higher crit chance and smaller radius, while others are super fast with big radius and less damage. Choose the one that better fits your own playstyle.
