I started studying pixel art last October. I used the Cheerful 32 palette and these programs.

Pixelorama

Procedural Orb Generator

PixelPaletteTool

Tiled

I evened the thickness and changed the shadows on the window. It's always odd to me how I can miss such obvious errors. Please feel free to let me know if you see any.

wow this looks very nice very good pixel art.. is this a full game or?

Thank you for the evaluation. I'm glad you like it.  I've been learning Godot through 2D platformer tutorials. I'm going to use these assets in Godot.

I've brought the assets into Godot. I need to  make more rooms and figure out a few things before I upload an alpha. I also need to figure out how to make presentable screen recordings.

EDIT:  This post was just a to do list.

Wow really nice! I love the background. I can't help but feel like the guy's clothes aren't shaded in the same style though. His legs especially are looking pillow shaded. I think. I feel like his legs below the knee would be darker than the thigh, so probably the highlight at the top shouldn't carry all the way down the leg like that.

Thank you. I don't mind that the highlight on the leg is barely going the right direction. I like the outline it defines. The legs were the 1st thing I designed. I wanted to give Rod some highly visible stylized flashy 70's style. Also, if hold my bent finger under an incandescent, I get a similar spread of light.

I've got the 2nd level into Godot. I didn't find a use for robots, so I got rid of Rod's gun.

Oops, I missed a tile at the entrance. I have a list of little things to clean up.

I've got 4 rooms working in Godot. Watching my GF play, they seem difficult. However, I can breeze through the rooms in seconds. I understand that's what happens in speed runners. They go from hard to easy with experience. It just feels strange that this precision platformer is so easy. 

I've got 2 more levels of art almost done.

I've been going back and forth between Pixelorama and Tiled designing new levels.
