I play the Alchemy game a lot. I have it on my computer as well and now I play it on this board to place myself in the highscores. :)

But, after playing for like 20 minutes with the version in the Arcade I noticed something weird. I could place a block twice on the same spot, even if the color and shape weren't right at all.
After a bit of experimenting, I found out that if you place a block on an allowed place and don't move your mouse, but just keep clicking, it will place a new block over the old one over and over. And the score just keeps rising.

I think this is quite a serious bug and it should be fixed. Maybe Alchemy should be taken offline during the repair, because else some people might exploit it. :)

My highscore is completely legal btw, I found out about the bug, true, but that only delivered me 100-200 points extra, I didn't exploit it.
If you want you can erase my highscore though, I'll prove that my highscore was legal with an even higher one. ;)

NO WAY. Well thats harsh on me coz I hold the high score and people are gunna think I cheated. In my defense, would I really have clicked on the same spot to get my points up for 2 hours straight (check my seconds played!). Oh well it doesn't matter NEway; I guess I can easily get that again.

Diddle if you actually have this game on your comp; you should be good enough to at least pose minor competition for the game ; at the time I posted this message, the person in 2nd place was less than half of my score!

Of course, I can easily (cough cough) beat you, but I don't want to play the game for 3 hours straight!
