I like PICO-8. The limitations it has (e.g. 16 colors, 128x128 screen) seem to "offend" some folk though. I have learned to like the limitations.

The fact it has a fixed colour palette as well is fantastic, takes a lot of the guess work out of choosing the perfect colour, also means PICO-8 games have a shared look which is nice.

I'm working on a game at the moment which is inspired by old ZX Spectrum games, so sadly that rules PICO-8 out (different colour palettes), but otherwise those limitations make the whole thing really nice
