_A deadly foe meets their end._

[Untitled Pixel Wizard Game][pixel-wizards] is a local-multiplayer [Noita]-like platformer about

killing baddies using spells powered by pixel physics.

Over the last few months, the falling sand simulation learned to play (somewhat) nicely with Rapier

rigid bodies; see [Bridging Physics Worlds][pixel-wizards-bridging-physics-worlds] and subsequent updates.

This month:

- [Tilemapping via LDTK][pixel-wizards-tilemapping]: levels got just a tiny bit prettier.

- [Level Progression][pixel-wizards-levels]: players learned to die, and levels link together.

- [Architectural Ruminations][pixel-wizards-arch]: reflections on using Rust for game development,

prompted by LogLog Games's '[Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years]'.

- [Target Practice][pixel-wizards-targets]: the first "enemy" was added to the game.
