    I just saw the game 2 days ago and have already poured over 50$ into
    the damned thing.  I havn't yet seen what you are talking about, but
    I have a couple theories.  

	1. Try to attack the walls.  Some can be knocked down or destroyed.
	2. It could be a glitch in the game.  I've noticed that items are
	   randomly placed each game.  Maybe it's not checking to see if the
	   location of an item is accessible to a player.

      This is one of the most awesome video games since the laser disk games.
      I hope to see more hints and info before I go broke.
