Engine for true pixel games? Thread

Hiya,

what engine would you recommend starting with if I'd like to later focus primarily on pixel games? (I haven't used any engine before)

From what i had searched Unity is not much suitable for true pixel games, but there are workarounds for it, but Im a game making beginner so I dont want to run into much trouble. By "true pixel game" i mean that all the pixels stay on a fixed grid, even when moving, rotations or special effects occur - as if it was all rendered in really low res and just upscaled to fit the screen without antialiasing. Btw I know how to code in C and Python, and wouldnt mind learning how to use coding in game engines.
