Game pageBills Must Be Paid: crashing piggy banks and the next upgrade
Reviews enjoy the sound or spectacle of breaking piggy banks. The immediate appeal is the satisfying impact, an entry point for people wanting lively feedback in a compact game.
Reviews also find the upgrade choices shallow. Consider whether you want immediate feedback rather than prolonged study of builds.
What makes it fun
The crack and the coin burst
Smash a piggy bank and coins and gems scatter across the table with a crisp crack. Each hit gives you an immediate burst of sound and motion.
Upgrade or pay the bill?
The cash from piggy banks pays for both upgrades and bills. Even when you want another skill tree upgrade, an approaching due date makes you decide how much to keep for the payment.
Watch your smashing grow
The skill tree strengthens your hand, and rings and bracelets add upgrades after bankruptcy. Smashing piggy banks becomes more productive, until coins and gems are flying across the table.
