Bills Must Be Paid

Bills Must Be Paid turns a very simple idea into a fast, readable loop: smash piggy banks, grab coins, pay bills, and invest what is left into better runs. Rike Games adds short sessions, different piggy types, multiple hammer styles, and a skill tree that gives the game more texture than its premise first suggests.

The mix lands somewhere between a light action game and an incremental system. The clever part is the pressure. Bills arrive with deadlines, and ignoring them means the collector takes a cut of your earnings, forcing players to choose between greed and stability.

Before the full release, players can already test the formula through a Steam demo and a free browser build. The official site also mentions planned mobile versions, though no public release date has been confirmed for iOS or Android yet.
