Hey guys,

first of all, a huge thanks to everyone, for your support, feedback, wishlists, and just playing our game :))

We're happy to officially announce that Bills Must Be Paid launches on July 29, 2026.

Price

The price will be $6.99,(with regional adjustments) and a 30% launch discount making it available for under $5 in the first two weeks.

What will be different compared to the demo: (little spoiler alert)

Most of the features are still under development, the list is not conclusive

• Prestige system. Failing to pay a bill will cause bankruptcy. You will earn Prestige Points based on the total amount of money you paid toward your bills. The more you managed to pay, the more points you get. These points can then be spend on rings and bracelets for your hand giving you upgrades and unique perks

• The collectors cut will not be fully gone but available in a different context... ;)

• New shop with gadgets for your desk to help you smash more, get more, and hopefully avoid bankruptcy

• More piggy types, more perks, more hammers, and an actual ending

• More mechanics to bet your money, risk everything, and either help you to escape or drive you into bankruptcy...

The last months have been quite exciting and wild for us, we're grateful for everything and are super excited to release the full game so you can play it!
