Like others have said, this game doesn't really feel like a 90s-era, 16-bit platformer — it reminds me more of a Flash game, or maybe an Amiga one. It's good that you explain the controls within the game, but they aren't explained fully — you're not told that you can use arrow keys to move instead of WASD, or to use space to jump, for example. Retto's movement and jumping feel okay, but they feel pretty floaty in the air — and they also tend to slow down on walls, and I don't know if this is an intentional wall-jumping mechanic or not.
This is a decent start. There's varied enemies which is a plus. That said I think the feel of it is very modern and it feels more like a 2000's flash game. Also, we have to talk about why you named the download file that and why I now have a folder with that name in my downloads...
Sorry man, i wanted to name it "Retto" but my fingers slipped and it turned that way. My apologies.
Seems like a good foundation to a game, I like that there is a downward and a sideways attack and they're used for different purposes. The visual presentation is not very consistent, but some of the art is nice. The controls are very floaty, and you can get stuck on the edges of platforms when jumping. It doesn't really replicate a retro feel very closely, but I appreciate the effort that was put into it.

As an ardent lover of the era, this game has stolen my heart and reignited my passion for gaming. Its pixel-perfect visuals and carefully designed sprites exude nostalgia, evoking the magic of bygone days in a way that feels personal to me. With refined gameplay mechanics that strike a perfect balance between challenge and enjoyment, every moment spent playing Retto is a reminder of why I fell in love with gaming in the first place. Supported by an unforgettable chiptune soundtrack that transports me back in time, this gem is an absolute must-play for anyone seeking a thrilling journey back to the golden age of gaming.
