You are broke and need to pay your bills by smashing piggy banks for money. Each run is limited by stamina, and unpaid bills can lead to bankruptcy.
Aim your hammer at different piggy banks to break them and collect money, gems, and random loot. Piggy banks have different behaviors, and different hammers trade off speed, damage, critical chance, and attack radius.
Spend money on a branching skill tree, hammer upgrades, and perks unlocked by paying bills. Bankruptcy lets you restart with legacy points for lasting upgrades such as rings and bracelets, while bills continue to set new payment goals.
Many supplied reviews enjoy the satisfying pig-smashing feedback, especially the sounds and bursts of coins, and describe the upgrade loop as engaging for a short session. Some also appreciate the choices between paying bills and buying upgrades. A recurring criticism is that the game ends quickly, with limited reason to replay; some reviews also describe progression choices as shallow or targeting as hard to read later on.
Bills Must Be Paid is an active incremental game about paying your bills by smashing piggy banks.
Smashing costs stamina. When your hand is getting tired the run is over.
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.
New types to discover. Some run away, some are too lazy to move, and others carry all the black money you never had :P...
