PICO-8 gets a neatly pixelated port of Coloro, a two-player abstract strategy game built around tile drafting and set collection.
Players take turns moving a direction marker along the row or column it points to on a 6×6 grid, collecting the tile they land on and leaving the marker in that empty space. After every move the marker rotates 90 degrees, so a vertical move forces a horizontal move next, and each colour stack must be built from either the far left or far right of your line. The player with the tallest single-colour stack wins, and ties are broken by whichever highest stack sits further left..
