ABOUT THE GAME
You're broke, smash piggy banks, bills must be paid. A short active incremental game. Get money, upgrade, and get debt free!
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.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
After making mobile and web games for the past seven years, Roxy and Mike decided to invest all their remaining money in their first premium Steam game. Ironically, a game about smashing piggy banks to pay your bills and escape bankruptcy is what saved the studio, and it now helps them keep making games.
Bills Must Be Paid first reached phones without its creators. In May, months before the Steam release, a stolen build of the free demo was recompiled and published on Douyin as an ad-supported mini-game, where it went viral. Rike Games filed a copyright complaint with ByteDance and the clone was removed. November 1 is the first time the real game is available on a phone. The App Store and Google Play listings below are the only official mobile versions.
