Bills Must Be Paid

Bills Must Be Paid is an incremental game about turning piggy banks into cash before your stamina runs out. Move your hammer over each target to smash it, collect random loot, and decide how much of your earnings should go toward bills, perks, or upgrades.

How to Play Bills Must Be Paid

Every smash uses stamina, so each run has a clear limit. Some piggy banks stay still, while others move or run away, and their rewards are random. Start with easy targets when you need reliable cash, then decide if a harder target is worth the stamina it may cost.

Bills appear during the run. Leave them unpaid and a collector takes a cut of your earnings. Pay them off to unlock perks that help you earn money faster on later attempts. Your skill tree also offers several upgrade paths, including better grip strength, luck, wrist power, and abilities such as rock rain or an electrified hammer.

When your stamina reaches zero, the run ends. Use the money you collected to improve your next attempt, then choose upgrades that match the way you want to smash piggy banks.

Tips for Bills Must Be Paid

• Save stamina for worthwhile targets instead of wasting swings on piggy banks that are difficult to catch.
• Prioritize stationary piggy banks when you need quick rewards.
• Balance bill payments with upgrades so you can unlock useful perks without neglecting your longer-term earning power.
• Compare hammer types before choosing one. Some favor critical hits and a smaller radius, while others trade damage or critical chance for faster swings and a larger radius.
