[Untitled Pixel Wizards Game][pixel-wizards] is a local-multiplayer [Noita]-like platformer about
killing baddies using spells powered by pixel physics. July was focused on improving game feel:

- [Blooood][pixel-wizards-update-1]: characters bleed when hit.
- [Big Bada Boom][pixel-wizards-update-2]: explosions and screenshake get added.
- [Fixing Flow Killers][pixel-wizards-update-3]: less tech demo and more game loop.
- [Ladders and Shrooms][pixel-wizards-update-4]: ladders and jump pads appear.

And August saw some more explosives plus a new spell casting system:

- [Barrels of Boom][pixel-wizards-update-5]: explosive barrels and terrain-eating fireworks.
- [Flinging Powder Atoms][pixel-wizards-update-6]: reworking atom collision handling.
- [Gesticulating Wildly][pixel-wizards-update-7]: exploring a gesture system for spellcasting.
- [Elemental Spellcasting][pixel-wizards-update-8]: try Magicka-like spellcasting.
- [Rocking Shields][pixel-wizards-update-9]: add support for some more spells.
