Maybe you can refine the rules a little so the player has more incentive to fill the holes. One thing that could immediately be fixed is how it gives you 5 points whenever you place a block, you need to remove that. It seems like a simple exploit to just placing blocks as rapidly as possible gaining 5 points each time. Maybe only award the bonus if they but the block down in a clear area. Or you are deducted points for placing a block that overlaps. Also I think it would be more fun and satisfying to the player if after you fill up the holes it keeps them filled up. Then when everything is full it ends the level and shows your your final time and score. Also you should make the mouse work in the opening menu since it's not a keyboard game."},{"author_name":"Stiju","author_uid":"17770","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 10:26am","epoch":1367317260,"text":"The idea of the game is very good.

To achieve this, try to prevent blocks from overlapping when placing them. You can rotate and flip each block piece.
