    I believe that is what they are referring to. It would be nice to have done better enemy animations.

    Like just for all their animations? Running, walking, etc?

    It's just they don't look natural in any case, just wonky, no offense intended this is just criticism for the sake of improvements! I mean there are workarounds, have minimal movements by being more cover based, or have the enemies be robotic soldiers!

    I don't see anything wrong with enemy animations in the most recent video. There is a bit of twitching because the transitions between animations seems a bit short, but it's really not a big deal. The animations are quite good actually.

    Yeah I actually bought the animations as I thought they were pretty high quality, the only problem is the transitions like you said

    Continue!

    There aren't many good shooters on iOS or Android. Try to make the game as "arcadey" as possible. Shooters don't do well on mobile devices because its hard for players to feel comfortable playing the game. Shooting and moving with on a touch screen is hard to accomplish. Having said that (negative stuff lol), you have a great alpha so far! Here are some of my suggestions. Each suggestion is different and isn't intended to used together.

    Suggestion #1:
    - Create a snap feature so when players aim close to an enemy, they will snap / aim directly at the enemy.
    Suggestion #2:
    - Drop the camera back to behind the player
    - Create larger clips so players can miss more often (its hard to aim on mobile games)
    Suggestion #3:
    - Move, aim, and shoot all at the same time

    Let me know what you think. Keep working on the game and keep us updated!

    Thanks for the suggestions! I will try to add the "snap" feature :) Also you said to move the camera back but this is a FPS not third person shooter :p

    Thanks again for the suggestions! :)

    Still have no clue what to call this game... lol. But I do have a story, here it is:

    There is a big drug cartel who makes and sells drugs. They have hideouts where they store the drugs in containers, and the hideouts are protected by guards. The guards work for a private company, and the company was hired to protect the drugs. However, the guards/company do not know they are protecting drugs, they believe they are protecting some other valuable item like gold or diamonds. Your job is to kill the guards in each hideout.

    Any idea what to call this game??

    Thanks

    I'm not sure on what to call this game but maybe something with the words "hostile takeover" in it or referencing it.

    I noticed that the guy was wearing red so maybe "red squad"?

    ## I really liked hostile takeover but too bad it's already taken.
