There is a block that moves around but doesn't collide with anything.

I wasn't entirely clear what all of the shop items did (though some I understood like growing time \/ area.) If there was an end state I didn't see it unfortunately, because when touching the purple squares at the bottom of the screen it took me to the shop -- I found that I could keep buying the furthest right item, which I did until it was full. This seemed to grow the purple, and when I exited the shop I was in the midst of a purple area and unable to move, as any movement would trigger the shop again. Nevertheless I enjoyed it beforehand."},{"author_name":"bobismijnnaam","author_uid":"20562","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 11:16am","epoch":1450177860,"text":"@kmakai: It seems like you've figured out the most up until now, good job :) The purple blocks are kinda like &quot;ambient generators&quot;, like the items you can buy in cookie clicker. First I wanted to make them placeable by the player, but I ran out of time and just spawned them in the field. You discovered an edge case that got you stuck in the purple blocks (: The other two items are movement speed and planting behaviour, would be useful to have if not the improper balancing of the game '-'"},{"author_name":"PlasterPhantom","author_uid":"30185","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 11:30am","epoch":1450178700,"text":"The game really doesn't show you how to play the game nor are the controls \/ ui \/ shops \/ etc obvious.. :("},{"author_name":"Reccy","author_uid":"41489","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 11:34am","epoch":1450178940,"text":"I enjoyed playing it, liked the minimalistic art style.

To recharge it using your amazing power cropping skills! It's fun, it's blocky, it's the next big thing, it's\r\n\r\n                         SUGARCANE\r\n\r\n[How to play]\r\nArrow keys to walk around. Space to plant... Things. Pick them up when they;re fully ~~grown~~ green to... Charge your bar. Walk against the grey cubes to enter the shop, and upgrade various stats until you've maxed them out!\r\n\r\nFun fact: this game is entirely scripted in javascript, with the code being run by my homegrown game engine Bobetex! If you don't like the game, or would like to see some feature in it, don't hesitate: change it! All the code is located in the script folder, and the graphics api can only draw triangles and rectangles, so understanding what happens shouldn't be too difficult. Have fun :)!\r\n\r\n[How to run]\r\nPrefer the 64bit build. If you have 32bit or the 64bit build doesn't work, pick one of the old builds. Thank you :-)\r\n\r\nWin32\/64:\r\nDoubleclick btx_32.exe. Should \"Just Work.\". And with \"Just Work.\", I ofcourse mean after you've made sure you have the visual c++ 2015 redistributable installed. I think you need to have the 32bit one installed, but if it doesn't work, try the 64bit as well, just to be sure. If they both do not work... Then I don't know. Sorry, and thanks for taking the time to run my executable :S\r\n\r\nLoonix:\r\nStart the file \"btx\". I've only tested it on my own ubuntu 15.04 machine, so any feedback in this regard is appreciated. You might have to install the SDL2 binary packages (something like `sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0`).\r\n\r\n[Tools used]\r\nThe most well known are SDL2, Duktape, C++, and Vim. See [the repo](https:\/\/github.com\/bobismijnnaam\/bobetex) for details.\r\n\r\n[About me]\r\nI'm Bob Rubbens, a 20 year old computer scientist currently residing in Enschede.
