_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.
