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. ;)
