_Enemies now perceive, pursue and attack.. and occasionally get burned to death._

[Untitled Pixel Wizards Game][pixel-wizards] is a local-multiplayer [Noita]-like platformer about
killing baddies using spells powered by pixel physics. This month was focused on juicing up said baddies:

- [Pew Pew Pew][pixel-wizards-update-1]: baddies learned to shoot at players.
- [Hot Pursuit][pixel-wizards-update-2]: baddies also learned to chase players! (They're real smart.)
- [Status Update][pixel-wizards-update-3]: physically-simulated pixels learn to burn & poison players & baddies.
- [Ragdolls][pixel-wizards-update-4]: corpses of dead baddies learn to tumble around all realistic-like.
- [Fiddling with Fire][pixel-wizards-update-5]: the fire mechanic figures out how to better burn baddies.
