## What is Payday Panic?

The rent is due. The lamp is on. Your savings are locked inside a piggy bank — and you’re holding a hammer.

Payday Panic is a late-night arcade smasher: crack piggy banks for coins, chain combos without missing, and pay every bill before the collector knocks. Miss the rent and the locks change.

SMASH — eight piggy types that crack, flee and fight back, with real heft in every hit
EARN — combos, crits, frenzy mode and lucky loot rolls
PAY — bills arrive as paper notices with real due dates; pay late and the Collector garnishes your desk
BUILD — a 30-node skill web, 7 hammers, and training ranks that never stop
RISK — Sharky’s loans, and his cousin’s shell game with a free daily prize
LOSE WELL — go bankrupt in style: your payment record converts into permanent Credit Stars

Six original lo-fi tracks that never repeat. No forced ads — the only ads are optional bonuses you choose to watch. Optional support includes a lifetime Union Card and a no-reward coffee tip. Plays offline. Just you, the hammer, and the bills.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-09-01

Meet the Night Crew Union. The optional lifetime Union Card turns eligible rewarded offers into instant claims while keeping every daily and per-shift cap. It also unlocks two member workspaces and a brass hammer seal. Night Crew Coffee is a simple tip with no gameplay reward. No subscription.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-26

Smashing feels brand new: the hammer is bigger, the desk is clearer, and you can tap for one hit or hold and drag for a controlled smashing streak. Also includes illustrated piggies and tools, 13 purchasable workspaces, hammer mastery, rotating Job Board contracts, and tighter long-run balance.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-21

New: bill reminders. Opt in after your first payday and the office sends one quiet evening memo before a bill goes late - at most three nudges, all cancelled the moment you clock back in. Never spam, always your choice. Plus small fixes.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-19

New: optional bonus videos. Work overtime to double a shift's take, catch a second wind when your stamina dies, stall the collector for one more day, refill your Piggy Shuffle plays, and sign for a daily mystery crate. Every one is your choice — no forced ads, ever. Also fixed: double-tapping no longer zooms the screen.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-14

Every lo-fi track now has its own voice — music box, dark saw, plucks, chiptune — plus its own tempo and key, so switching soundtracks finally sounds like it. A gentler first shift for new players: faster first cracks, a shorter opening run, and bills wait politely until you've earned something.
