How adept at retro style 2D is Unity?

[supertino]

Hello

I am strongly considering a switch to Unity from BlitzMax\MonkeyX http://www.blitzbasic.com/ as sadly after 16 odd years with Blitz products the future is looking bleak, I only relay enjoy making 2D games and I always considered Unity to be for 3D.

Now I could just dive right in and find out but Unity’s complex set of tools compared to BlitzMax with it’s text editor and the need for me to create my own tools looks like I’ll need to spend just as much time learning the interface than writing the code.

So the question is simple; Can I produce pixel perfect 2D games with Unity? Would the itch.io projects below for example be possible with Unity?

Here are links to just some of the games I’ve made over the years with BlitzMax\MonkeyX

• https://supertino.itch.io/
• panGEMic on Steam
• https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=moarlasers
• Play Dice Master, a free online game on Kongregate

I don’t see why unity couldn’t do this. There is a really neat pixel perfect camera extention on the asset store for 2D games
