Satisfying smash physics (community), clear progression, accessible length, big launch momentum (100k+ in 72h).

Content is short (3-5 hours to 100%); late-game is farming the same systems; some late achievements are grind-heavy (player reports).

FAQ

Review FAQ

Q: Is Bills Must Be Paid worth buying?
A: At $4.89 (launch offer), yes for incremental-fans — overwhelmingly positive reception and a dense 3-5 hour run. At full price, decide on the demo first.

Q: Is it too short?
A: The 3-5 hour 100% is the main criticism — but the game is designed for repeat cycles, not a 50-hour campaign.

Q: Do reviews mention bugs?
A: Some — the known items (blur bug, coin-flip odds debate, antivirus false positive, demo save transfer) are covered in the community Bugs & Fixes discussion.
