It'd be nice if that was clearer, but anyway.\r\rThe GUI is really slick, and the game is clever. The comments were amusing too.

The scoring confused me for a minute though. Look great, good job! One thing I would've liked is being able to snap to a grid or something, but I guess packing it tight is part of the challenge"},{"author_name":"skwirl3014","author_uid":"23241","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 5:15am","epoch":1367385000,"text":"This is inventive and great.

My final scores were 63, 60, 81, 68, 71 68. In most cases I had to leave on block on the outer area (worth ten) and had all the 1 point spaces covered.

Easy to get into, and the puzzles make you think, but it's not so difficult that it's aggravating. I do wish that I had the ability to rotate the furniture pieces, which would add another level of depth to the game. Also, it would be nice to have the furniture pieces snap to the grid, because I would spend a lot of time trying to align the pieces on the rug.

At first I thought it was one of those games, where you arrange all the shapes in a rectangle. The scoring-mechanic is very interesting and gives the game a nice touch.
