Bills Must Be Paid

Bills Must Be Paid puts you deep in debt and hands you a hammer. You smash piggy banks for coins, and every swing costs stamina. When your hand gets too tired, the run ends. Bills keep showing up while you play. Paying them unlocks perks that make later runs faster, and ignoring them leads to bankruptcy. Going bankrupt isn't the end, though. Paid bills earn legacy points, and after bankruptcy you spend those on rings and bracelets that permanently upgrade your hand. There's also a skill tree with several branches for grip strength, caffeine, gym training and luck, plus abilities like a rain of rocks or an electric hammer. Different hammers trade crit chance and hit area against speed and damage. The piggy banks vary. Some run away, some barely move, and some carry far more money than the rest, and they also drop random loot and rare coins. It's a short, active game from Rike Games, released on Steam in July 2026. Play it when you want quick runs with steady upgrades rather than a game you leave idling.
