Ah! I'll leave it be then.
Up until I stopped development in July 2013, I had been cleaning them regularly for each version. Good luck

In that case, I probably contaminated the high score list by playing all those games with the previous version. (Oops!) :P

Ah, okay, that explains it, then. And yes, refreshing the page fixes it.
In other news, I just played another winning game! :D Once again, I faced Kornel after round 5 of the Arena, so I didn't have enough time to get a super high score, but it was high enough to get number 2! :) Once again, I drew Gotcha! which made me kill the Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind early; I have a feeling that if I am able to put off killing those two, I can make the game last longer and get an even higher score. Funnily enough, I got credit for Mastermind's Brain, even though Cybie was the one doing the killing. :)
On a completely unrelated note, I've been meaning to ask... I notice that when I get a berserk pack, the red screen effect seems to be based on real time, rather than in-game time. (ie if I hold still, the red screen will end even though no in-game time has passed) Do you lose all the berserk bonuses when the screen returns to normal too? Does this mean it's more efficient to charge ahead while you're berserk to get the most benefit?
EDIT: Also, I'm pretty close to beating Vandam's average score! :D
MaiZure:
Pretty damn good run right there....

I'm pretty sure the ability to win early was intended...but probably not tested much.

Yes, berserk is real-time because this is Xtreme! Arena! Intended
Sereg:
I have a question. How in the *HELL* are you supposed to do the Anomaly in XA? I just went in there invulnerable and still got smoked without getting a single kill...

Tormuse will have to give out advice on that, but I'm pretty sure that Anomaly was covered in one or more of his gameplay videos... I personally haven't played in forever.
That said, XA by design goes really hard on players who try to be 100% completionists in terms of difficulty scaling. The game can be beaten pretty easily for casual players who duck out of the arena early and skip the special level challenges, etc. I think even the bosses like KK scale their health based on how many rounds of the arena the players have completed, etc.
