Odd One Out is a very captive game, reminding me a bit on the party game genre (unfortunately without a multiplayer component). The game starts fairly easy but with every victory comes an extra bit of complexity. And before you even realize it the game becomes a serious (and fun) challenge!

Not the classic definition of a fable but the game only features animals as characters. Each animal has its own properties that are relevant (make sure you read the tutorial first).

The iridescence is a bit hidden but I think the progress screen (with the graph tries to mimic iridescence by scrolling through colors in the title/graph points). Guess that one wasn't easy to implement given the limitation of PICO-8.

The chart is simply great, one of the more complex charts I've seen implemented in the games I've played. Very nice.

The bonus rule wasn't implemented although the platform allows for a two player game it seems. A challenge mode would be really nice for this type of game.

Never heard of the PICO-8 platform before but it is amazing what you (Bananalazer) can do within their limitations. Great game!

It is a short & intense game. Nice drawn graphics and it seems to cover all the extra rules as well. Especially like the integration of a fable.
