Random things about this game:

• I programmed this project entirely in Turbowarp (a modded version of Scratch)
• An extension developed by Vadik1 handles the game's 3d rendering
• I developed the collision engine and physics from scratch for this project specifically
  
• The game's color palette is "Lava has the viscosity of ketchup" by 182exe on Lospec
• This took an absurdly long time to program because of how tedious the Scratch editor is...

Confused? The runes on the walls provide all the information necessary to escape the earth.

Hint #1

The vending machine can be picked up with the 'E' key.

Hint #2

You can click through cubes to make more than $1 per click.

Hint #3

Place a cube on a boombox and activate it to break into higher levels. Platforms in the middle (marked with an X) cannot be broken.

Hint #4

A fortified cube shot by a supercharged boombox is required to break the fortified platforms (marked with a #).

Softlocked?

In standard difficulty: One of the runes on the lowest level can be clicked to bring the vending machine back to you. In challenge difficulty: One of the runes can be clicked to damage you. You will respawn at the vending machine. In unforgiving mode: Give up.
