Fair enough.

A more animated health bar for the player was on the to do list, I just never got the chance to make it. And the current health bar's background is the same grey as the rest of the HUD, so the first few hits can be hard to see. I need to add better hit-feedback anyways if I keep working on this, so that could be part of those changes.

I'm not actually sure how I feel about displaying enemy health. I feel like it can clutter the screen a little too much, especially in fast-paced games where there's already a lot going on. Maybe I can have enemy stats/health appear somewhere around the reticle when you're aiming at them, since the player's probably looking at it anyway. I'm not sure if that would fully solve the problem though, especially since you're now the second person to mention that the reticles can be confusing.

Edit: I could also only display health on damaged enemies. I'm sure there's something that'll work.

Thanks so much for the feedback!
