You can sue them: that's how you get money owed to you. You would sue for breach of contract: for violation of the agreement (even if only an oral or unwritten one) under which you did work in exchange for pay. If you did your part--you did the work--they must do theirs and pay you; if they don't, they are violating that agreement. Suing in small claims court, as your own attorney ("pro se") to avoid legal fees may be a good option.
