+_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.
