Answer 4

Well, in fact, Unity is quite suitable. Graphics (namely the style of drawing) here does not depend on the engine - we draw what we want. This is if for a real serious project, because it is very convenient to do everything in the unit.
Interestingly, I am currently writing my pixel platformer in Pygame (Python), drawing sprites along the way. Basically, I do this based on personal Wishlist and interest. It helps to understand both the language and writing in non-C# :)
Here you face problems that are not in Unity and other big engines, such as: making a level editor, music / sounds processor, implementing animation, GUI and so on.
That is, I write in python, probably to delve deeper into the development
