You made me dl Dead Cells from my archives on Steam. I had uninstalled
it because it was too difficult, but that's no good reason. It's really
quite a good side-scroller and has a lot of potential. I'll see what I
can get up to this time around. It's usually a bit more than before
after these long hiatuses.
The one trend I really hate in side-scrollers was like in that dust
brothers game where you control two chimney sweeps - jumping on walls to
climb them. I hate that. It's so unrealistic. Dead Cells doesn't have
this but it does have double-jumping which I am mostly ambivalent about
but I think it's actually good. Kind of like Unreal Tournament had double-jumping. It adds a twist.

Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a
sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage.
The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath,
whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There
Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children.
