I had eleven (Eleven!) lives (and two power-ups to boot) when I beat Deluge, and thought that maybe I might finally be able to beat all 5 episodes in under a minute, blindfolded, with my left pinky, using only gun3, and losing no health, on hard an episode without cheating on easy. Then I died 10 times before I could even beat the water on the first tower of Fortress of Floods once. And then I died again as soon as I started the next tower.

Bleargh.
