Bills Must Be Paid

Bills Must Be Paid is a wonderful game, being one of if not the most satisfying that I've played. Music is amazing, sound design fitting and super satisfying, meta progression essential, visually very pleasing and bugs unnoticeable (if any) and very well optimised. BUT it's not perfect, the end game progression feels way to fast (at least in my playthrough) and it's very short, so short in fact that I managed to 100% it in around 3.5 hours. If I were developing this, firstly I'd stretch out the end game by quite a bit by making the upgrades a bit less impactful, more expensive or by lowering the rewards for the end game piggies. I'd also make the text for huge gains a lot more pronounced and make a some sort of an indicator for the bombs that tells the player that they don't need to hit them when the fuse goes off. Overall a 9/10 game (10/10 if you can get it on sale) highly recommend.

Didn’t expect much, ended up getting completely addicted. You smash piggy banks, make money, buy upgrades, smash even more piggy banks. That’s basically it. And somehow it’s insanely satisfying. Every time I thought “okay, one more upgrade and I’m done” I kept playing for another 30 minutes. The progression feels really good and once everything starts getting faster and more ridiculous, the game becomes pure dopamine. Honestly, my biggest complaint is that it ends. I genuinely wanted more upgrades, more stuff to break and more stupid late-game chaos. Very simple game, very fun game. 10/10 would destroy my financial responsibilities again.

Fun but on the short side. Dopamine go brrrrrrrrrr. Some Challenge modes could add some replay value to the game (starting in debt, starting atk spd or crit modifiers, etc).

DOPAMINEEEEEE

Overall pretty fun game! 100% the game on my Steamdeck and it ran super smooth. Plus there's this sort of serotonin you get from the piggy bank smashing sound!
