ABOUT BILLS MUST BE PAID
Bills Must Be Paid is an active incremental game where smashing piggy banks earns the money needed to settle mounting bills and escape debt. Every swing consumes stamina, turning each run into a limited opportunity to gather cash before your hand becomes too tired to continue. Unpaid bills create additional pressure because collectors begin taking a portion of your earnings, while clearing those debts unlocks helpful perks. Between runs, a branching skill tree provides upgrades for grip strength, luck, and other abilities, including electrified hammers and rock rain. Different piggy bank types introduce varied behaviors and rewards, with some running away and others carrying extra money. You can also unlock hammers with distinct combinations of attack speed, damage, critical hit chance, and striking radius, alongside collecting rare coins. Smash through the piggies, invest in stronger abilities, and pay off every outstanding bill to finally become debt-free!

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW
Smash Piggy Banks Before Stamina Runs Out
Bills Must Be Paid revolves around using a hammer to break piggy banks and collect the money hidden inside them. Each smash consumes stamina, so the amount of cash you can gather depends on how much energy remains before your hand becomes exhausted and the run ends. Piggy banks contain randomized loot, making their rewards unpredictable and adding uncertainty to each attempt. As you continue playing, new piggy types appear with different behaviors, including those that flee, remain stationary, or carry particularly valuable amounts of money.
Clear Your Debt and Develop New Abilities
Bills arrive throughout the game, creating financial obligations that become more costly when left unpaid. Ignoring them allows the collector to claim a share of everything you earn, reducing the money available for future expenses and improvements. Paying bills removes those obligations and unlocks perks that support faster debt repayment. A multi-path skill tree offers further development through grip-strength improvements, caffeine-related upgrades, gym training, wrist enhancements, and increased luck. Additional abilities such as rock rain and hammer electrification expand the available upgrades beyond basic physical improvements.
Choose Your Hammer and Collect Rare Coins
Different unlockable hammers allow you to adjust your approach to breaking piggy banks. Some favor higher critical hit chances at the expense of striking radius, while others provide faster attacks and wider coverage but deal less damage. These differences make hammer selection a meaningful part of developing a preferred playstyle, whether you value powerful individual hits or greater speed and reach. Alongside upgrading your equipment and abilities, you can collect rare coins as another part of the experience.
