If Retris is named after/based on Tetris, are all the Sovstuck original characters based on/tied to classic video games? Like Space Invaders, Pong, Snake, Pac-Man, Frogger?

A few of them are! We’ve got extremely overly complicated and extremely simple reasons for each one, too! Here’s a few I can think of right off the bat:

Tejuri is inspired by Snake.

Dynama is inspired by Frogger.

Presae is inspired by Centipede.

Meseri is inspired by Polybius.

Ajax is inspired by Space Invaders.

I would also like to take a moment to say that while, yes, Retris’s name is literally just Tetris with an R in front of it (there are very simple and very complicated reasons for this also,) the inspiration I derived from the game for Retris’s character is largely based on The Tetris Effect. Don’t think about that too hard! Or do. I’m not the boss of you. :)
