Ugh, how do you animate shooting SO DAMN GOOD?! Anyhow, it's really good, it looks so fluid and polished. It kind of bothers me how the guy doesn't react more when he shoots, like his doesn't bob back with the recoil or anything, just the upper torso.

I've seen numerous videos of people shooting guns and it seems like in many cases people's body actually don't react too much to recoil; in the case of automatic weapons, people seem to be able to keep their guns more or less level and the recoil makes their upper body shake a bit but leaves the legs relatively stable. It seems like in many cases people exaggerate how much guns kick up in animations; it's really more about how much the gun is kicking back. Now that I think about it, I could have added slightly more backwards force. Oh well. I will keep that in mind.

The landing was kinda stiff and there is something off about his back, I think you should make his arms move with his body together and not first arms and than make the back do some kinda weird worm lol.

For now Medium-High-Beginner

I was deciding whether to further exaggerate the reaction upon landing.

I'm not too sure what you're saying here.

It looks like his back is making a wave withou a reason. Just make it go back and forward, it will look better ;)

That was supposed to be the figure's reaction to the recoil of the gun. I thought it worked well but I suppose I could try something different.

If you like it better like this you should leave it like that. It's just my opinion ;)

I thought the same thing when I saw it, maybe if you slowed it down just a bit though it would look much better. But still nice job none the less.

That was actually pretty good.
The gun fire effect is great, landing is fine too, the legs shake a little and so does the back, I think it's a little weird with the back but overall fine.
High Beginner.

I guess I'll make the back reaction to recoil more subtle.

I'm going to say no; as of now I have no plans on sharing non-weapon sprite items.
